Team Group MS30 512GB SATA III M.2 2280
The SATA III interface delivers 530 MB/s reads and 430 MB/s writes, with TLC NAND and a DRAM-less design that keeps costs low for a 512GB M.2 2280 drive. It supports Intel Smart Response Technology for caching and includes TRIM, S.M.A.R.T., and wear leveling, backed by a 3-year warranty and 1,500,000 hours MTBF. Best for budget-conscious builders upgrading older laptops or desktops where SATA speeds are sufficient for everyday tasks and light gaming.
