About This Product
The Apacer AST280 is an M.2 2280 SATA SSD with a 480GB capacity. While it uses the M.2 form factor, its SATA interface limits performance to typical SATA SSD speeds, around 500-550 MB/s sequential read/write. This makes it suitable for general computing and as a boot drive, but it will not offer the significantly higher speeds of NVMe PCIe drives, despite the 'Nvme: Yes' specification being inaccurate for a SATA drive.
Verdict
“Good for budget builds needing an M.2 SATA boot drive.”
