Manufacturer description

The Timetec 128GB M.2 2280 SSD is a straightforward SATA III boot drive for older desktops and laptops that have an M.2 slot but no NVMe support. Sequential reads reach up to 550MB/s and writes up to 500MB/s, with SLC cache technology handling burst transfers so short file copies and application launches finish faster than they would on a mechanical hard drive. Timetec rates the drive at 64TBW endurance and an industry-leading 1,500,000 hours MTBF, and backs it with a three-year limited warranty plus free technical support. Compatibility is broad: it works with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this SSD work in an NVMe M.2 slot?

No. This is an M.2 2280 SATA III 6Gb/s drive, so your motherboard or laptop slot must accept M.2 SATA. Check your system's M.2 slot specification before buying.

How fast is the Timetec 128GB SSD?

Timetec rates sequential read speed up to 550MB/s and write speed up to 500MB/s, with SLC cache technology providing a performance boost on burst transfers.

Is 128GB enough for a Windows 11 boot drive?

It works as a dedicated OS drive, but 128GB leaves limited headroom after Windows 11 and updates. Plan on a second drive for games, media, and large applications.

What operating systems is it compatible with?

Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7, plus Linux 2.6.33 or later. It is also backwards compatible with SATA II 3Gb/s and SATA I 1.5Gb/s interfaces.

Does it come with a warranty and mounting hardware?

It ships with a three-year limited warranty and free technical support. Cables, screws, and brackets are not included, so reuse your system's M.2 standoff screw.
