SPECIFICATIONS

The GUDGA PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD is a low-cost M.2 2280 internal solid-state drive available in:

• 128GB
• 256GB
• 512GB
• 1TB capacities

It uses:

• PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface
• TLC NAND flash
• M.2 2280 form factor

Claimed performance reaches:

• Up to 3400 MB/s read
• Up to 3200 MB/s write on higher-capacity models.

⚡ PCIe 3.0 NVMe Performance

The SSD supports:

• PCIe Gen3 x4 bandwidth
• NVMe protocol

That provides significantly faster speeds than:

• SATA SSDs
• Mechanical hard drives

Typical benefits include:

• Faster Windows boot times
• Quicker game loading
• Better app responsiveness
• Faster file transfers

Theoretical PCIe 3.0 NVMe speeds around:
3500 MB/s3500\ \text{MB/s}3500 MB/s

match the advertised range of this drive.

---

💾 TLC NAND Flash

One positive feature:

• Uses TLC NAND

TLC is generally preferable to:

• QLC NAND
  for:
• Better endurance
• More stable sustained speeds
• Improved long-term reliability

The listings specify:

• 3D TLC NAND flash memory.

---

🧠 Controller Hardware

Some listings mention controllers such as:

• MAP1202
• InnoGrit IG5766

These are budget-oriented NVMe controllers commonly used in:

• Value-focused SSDs.

Performance and consistency can vary depending on:

• Capacity
• Controller revision
• NAND batch

---

🖥️ Compatibility

The drive is designed for:

• Desktop PCs
• Laptops
• Mini PCs

Requirements:

• M.2 NVMe slot
• PCIe support

⚠️ Important:
This is an NVMe SSD, not SATA M.2.

Some older systems support:

• M.2 SATA only
  which would not work with this drive.

---

📏 Form Factor

Most listings indicate:

• M.2 2280 size

Meaning:
22mm×80mm22\text{mm}\times80\text{mm}22mm×80mm

This is the most common NVMe SSD size for:

• PCs
• Gaming laptops
• Motherboards

Some GUDGA models are also sold in:

• 2242 compact versions for small devices.

🔥 Thermal Considerations

The SSD usually ships:

• Without a heatsink

Under heavy workloads:

• NVMe drives can throttle from heat

For gaming PCs or long transfers:

• Motherboard heatsinks are recommended

Especially on:

• Compact laptops
• Small-form-factor PCs

👍 Advantages

• Affordable NVMe storage
• PCIe 3.0 x4 performance
• TLC NAND is better than many cheap QLC drives
• Faster than SATA SSDs
• Good upgrade for older PCs
• Available in multiple capacities
