Kingmax: M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs

Kingmax Technology, Inc. has consummated its product line of M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSDs, providing users who want to improve their PC performance with more choices.

In addition to the M.2 PCIe SSD PX-3480 (Gen3x4) and the PX-3280 (Gen3x2), the affordable/entry-level PJ-3280 (Gen3x2) has also been introduced, allowing users who are considering turning to SSDs to boost their computer performance a higher-speed and more economical option aside from 2.5-inch SSDs.

An increasing variety of motherboards or notebooks are currently available on the market, including motherboards equipped with Intel Z270, X99 and the latest two Series/three Series chipsets, all of which are equipped with the M.2 PCIe interface as standard equipment to enable future upgrades.

As long as the M.2 slot is the M key version, a SSD that comes with the M.2 PCIe interface can be employed to push the speed and performance of a computer to higher levels.

The company’s M.2 2280 NVMe SSD PJ-3280 (Gen3x2) is manufactured using 3D NAND flash stacking technology, making it efficient, stable and durable. Meanwhile, it is 22×80 mm in size and is available in capacities of 128, 256 or 512GB, suitable for improving the performance of space-challenged notebooks and ultrabooks while expanding capacity.

The speed of the PCIe Gen3x2 (16Gb/s) interface is inherently much faster than that of 6Gb SATA. The PJ-3280 SSD, which supports the NVMe high-speed transmission interface, features actual reading and writing speeds of 1,600MB/s and 950MB/s respectively in its maximum 512GB configuration, which are around twice to three times as fast as the reading and writing speeds of an average 2.5-inch 6Gb SATA SSD. Therefore, for computer users and e-sports players to whom speed is of importance, SSDs with M.2 PCIe interface will be thei solution in the pursuit of speed. The entry-level PJ-3280 will also be a choice for users who are switching to M.2 PCIe SSDs for the first time.

Owing to its pursuit of, and commitment to, quality products, the company has adopted lead-free manufacturing processes, while abiding by the EU RoHS directive for environmental protection and obtaining the CE certification. All products pass testing before they are shipped out from factories in order to ensure that they achieve the quality, reliability and compatibility.
