What you get

With a capacity of 480GB, you have a practical balance between space for the operating system and enough room for your main games or work projects. The PCIe NVMe 4.0 interface allows the drive to utilize higher throughput compared to older generation PCIe 3.0 models, so applications and game levels load noticeably faster. NAND flash memory ensures reliable storage and good responsiveness during multitasking – from a browser with many tabs to working with heavier files. The M.2 2280 form factor makes it convenient for modern motherboards, including compact ITX and mATX systems, without additional cables. And the 36-month warranty gives you peace of mind for long-term use.
