SSD Team Group MS30 256GB M.2 SATA III 3D NAND

Team Group MS30 256GB is a compact M.2 2280 SSD with SATA 3 interface, aimed at budget and office/gaming configurations where fast loading of Windows and applications is most important. With a capacity of 256GB, this is a practical choice for a system disk or for upgrading an older laptop/PC that supports M.2 SATA but not NVMe. Speeds of up to 500MB/s for reading and 400MB/s for writing are a huge leap over classic HDDs and make the working experience much more responsive. Combined with 3D NAND memory and MTBF 1,500,000 hours, you get a stable and lightweight (only 10g) partition for the system.

What you get: The M.2 2280 form factor allows you to free up space in the case or chassis of the laptop without cables and without additional power supply. The SATA 3 interface with transfer speeds of up to 550/470MB/s (read/write) is more than sufficient for fast booting of the operating system, games, and frequently used programs. 256GB is a good balance for OS + your main applications and 2–3 larger games if you don’t keep your entire library installed at once. The 3D NAND flash technology helps for better durability over time compared to older planar NAND solutions. And with a 36-month warranty, you have peace of mind for a longer period of operation.

• Capacity 256GB – sufficient for Windows, your main programs, and a few heavier games or projects, without paying for unnecessary space.
• M.2 2280 form factor – thin and compact module, ideal for modern motherboards and laptops, without the need for SATA cables and additional wiring.
• SATA 3 interface – compatible with a vast number of systems, providing up to 550/470MB/s theoretical transfer and real-world performance much faster than HDD.
• Read speed up to 500MB/s – ensures fast loading of the operating system and programs, with noticeably less waiting.
• Write speed up to 400MB/s – faster copying of files, installations, and updates of games and software.
• 3D NAND flash memory – better density and reliability compared to older NAND technologies, suitable for everyday use.
• MTBF 1,500,000 hours and 36 months warranty – indication of reliability and long life under normal use.

Who it is suitable for: If you are building a budget or mid-range computer and looking for an inexpensive but noticeable upgrade over HDD, this M.2 SATA SSD is a very sensible solution for a system disk. It is also suitable for older laptops/PCs that have an M.2 slot but do not support NVMe. If you are looking for a huge volume for many games or heavy video projects, you will likely need larger capacity or a second disk.

The most sensible aspect here is the combination of M.2 form factor, decent SATA 3 speeds, and 256GB capacity at a good price – exactly what you need to revive an old machine or complete a practical new build.
