SSD NVMe M.2 2280 256 GB - PCIe Gen3 x4 - Refurbished

Description

This 256 GB NVMe SSD storage module is a high-performance solution intended for IT maintenance professionals and resellers. Sourced from professional ranges (HP, Dell, Lenovo), this refurbished component allows for a quick and cost-effective upgrade of IT fleets or demanding workstations. It offers system responsiveness far beyond traditional mechanical drives or SATA SSDs.

Based on the NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) communication interface using 4 PCIe Gen3 lanes, this SSD drastically reduces read and write latencies. The internal architecture is based on NAND Flash memory (3D TLC or MLC depending on arrival) and a high-performance controller managing wear leveling and error correction (ECC). Its design with no moving parts ensures increased resistance to shocks and vibrations, ideal for integration into laptops.

The standard 2280 format ensures wide compatibility with the majority of modern desktop and laptop motherboards featuring an M-Key port. As a Grade A refurbished product, each unit has undergone intensive read/write tests and a S.M.A.R.T. data check to guarantee a residual lifespan consistent with production environment requirements.

Workshop Advice & Usage

When installing, be sure to handle the module by the edges to avoid any electrostatic discharge on exposed components. Ensure that the BIOS/UEFI of the target machine is configured in AHCI/NVMe mode and not in Legacy mode for optimal recognition. For integrations in ultra-thin cases or PCs subject to heavy loads, adding a thermal pad between the SSD and the chassis is recommended to prevent "Thermal Throttling" (thermal limiting of performance during excessive heating).
