About This Product
The Intel 540s 480GB M.2 2280 is a SATA-based M.2 SSD, not NVMe despite the form factor. It offers typical SATA SSD performance, suitable for general computing tasks and as a boot drive. Compared to true NVMe drives in a similar price range, its sequential read/write speeds are significantly lower, but it provides a compact M.2 form factor for systems with limited space or M.2 SATA-only slots. It is a budget-friendly option for upgrading from a hard drive.
Verdict
“Good for budget builds or systems needing an M.2 SATA drive for basic use.”
