SPECIFICATIONS

The SomnAmbulist M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD is a budget-friendly internal solid-state drive designed for laptops, desktop PCs, and compatible game consoles. Available in capacities from 128GB to 1TB, it uses the M.2 2280 form factor and PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe interface, providing significantly faster performance than traditional SATA SSDs.

Key Features

PCIe 3.0 NVMe Performance

• PCIe Gen3 x4 interface
• NVMe protocol for reduced latency
• Advertised sequential read speeds up to 2,100–2,500 MB/s (capacity-dependent)
• Advertised write speeds up to 1,700–2,000 MB/s (capacity-dependent)

Compared to a SATA SSD (around 550 MB/s), this results in:

• Faster Windows startup
• Quicker application launches
• Improved game loading times
• Faster file transfers

Available Capacities

Choose the size based on your needs:

Capacity	Recommended Use
128GB	Operating system and basic office tasks
256GB	Everyday computing and light gaming
512GB	Gaming, creative applications, and general use
1TB	Large game libraries, multimedia editing, and professional workloads

M.2 2280 Form Factor

• Standard 22 × 80 mm (2280) size
• Fits most modern desktops and laptops with an M.2 NVMe slot
• Simple installation with a single mounting screw

Energy Efficient

With no moving parts, the SSD offers:

• Low power consumption
• Quiet operation
• Improved durability over mechanical hard drives
• Better shock and vibration resistance

Compatibility

Compatible with:

• Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs
• Linux systems
• Most desktop motherboards with an NVMe M.2 slot
• Many modern laptops supporting PCIe NVMe SSDs

Game Console Compatibility

• PlayStation 5: Not recommended as the primary expansion drive because PCIe 3.0 performance is below Sony's recommended PCIe 4.0 specification.
• Xbox Series X/S: Not compatible as an internal storage upgrade. The Xbox Series X|S uses proprietary expansion cards rather than standard M.2 SSDs. A standard M.2 NVMe drive can only be used externally through a USB enclosure for storing games, but Xbox Series X|S-optimized games cannot be played directly from USB storage.
