The details provided focus on its interface, dimensions, and speed ratings, which are key factors for anyone considering an upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drive is constructed as a solid-state storage device, utilising NAND flash memory chips and a controller board housed within its casing. The primary construction detail provided is its adherence to the M.2 SATA III (3.0) interface standard, which determines how it communicates with the desktop computer's motherboard. The physical build results in a drive with a stated thickness of 3.5mm, which is a relevant measurement for ensuring it fits within the allotted space in a desktop chassis, whether mounted in a dedicated 2.5-inch drive bay or secured directly to the motherboard via an M.2 screw standoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe external dimensions of the drive are specified as 80mm in length and 22mm in width. This corresponds to common 2.5-inch drive form factors and specific M.2 size classifications (typically 2280). This compact size allows it to be used in desktops where space may be limited or where smaller, dedicated M.2 slots are preferred over larger 3.5-inch bays. The 3.5mm thickness is also a standard measurement, ensuring compatibility with mounting hardware designed for drives of this profile. Before purchase, users should verify their desktop case or motherboard supports drives of this 80mm x 22mm dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2401240337450327800.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis SSD is designated as applicable for desktop computers, indicating its primary use case.

This can contribute to a perception of lower maintenance, as there are no read\/write heads or spinning platters that can be susceptible to wear or damage. The drive itself is a single, sealed unit as supplied, with no user-serviceable parts, aligning with a 'fit and forget' approach after initial installation and setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product may be considered for a desktop upgrade due to its clear specification of key metrics: the SATA III interface, the precise 80mm x 22mm x 3.5mm dimensions, and the published read\/write speed figures. The availability of five distinct capacity options (128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB) allows users to match their storage needs and budget. The primary differentiator is its combination of the M.2 form factor with the SATA III interface, which may be the required connector type for certain desktop motherboards that lack newer NVMe slots but feature M.2 SATA sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2401240337460328400.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2401240337460329000.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/60678475-30f8-4789-ad4a-eb1c50960913.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/96ee313e-166a-4c75-9303-688e9242e73c.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/b71eb42c-f815-4333-8788-c6add3690bf5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"M.2 SATA III 2.5-inch solid state drive for desktop computers showing 80mm by 22mm dimensions.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/656\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/df8f191e-ad22-496d-bea2-453bf33ea08e.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test333bij4j2f2a5","offers":[{"title":"128GB","offer_id":58476229656960,"sku":"CJYD195552902BY","price":33.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1TB","offer_id":58476229689728,"sku":"CJYD195552904DW","price":123.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2TB","offer_id":58476229722496,"sku":"CJYD195552905EV","price":237.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"256GB","offer_id":58476229755264,"sku":"CJYD195552901AZ","price":44.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"512GB","offer_id":58476229788032,"sku":"CJYD195552903CX","price":73.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/9268\/3392\/files\/1dff13e8-8c26-40ff-9b58-a622465187ad.webp?v=1784257395","url":"https:\/\/zr0ecp-ic.myshopify.com\/products\/m-2-sata-iii-2-5-inch-ssd-solid-state-drive-for-desktop-computers-with-3-0-interface-80mm-x-22mm-dimensions-and-3-5mm-thickness-available-in-128gb-256gb-512gb-1tb-and-2tb-capacity-options-for-storage-upgrades","provider":"KansoLife.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
