The DATO DP700 1TB is an M.2 2280 NVMe solid state drive that uses a PCIe Gen3 x4 interface (NVMe 1.3) for a big step up in speed over SATA storage. DATO, a Taiwanese memory and storage maker, rates it at up to 2,500MB/s sequential read and 1,700MB/s sequential write with SLC caching, so the operating system, games and large project files load quickly. The compact gum-stick 2280 form factor plugs straight into the M.2 slot on most modern desktop motherboards and many laptops, with no cables needed - just check that your slot supports PCIe NVMe rather than SATA-only M.2. With 1TB of capacity it works well as a main boot drive for a gaming PC or as fast extra storage for photo and video work. It supports S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring, is rated for 0 to 70°C operation and DATO backs it with a 5-year limited warranty. Supplied as a single drive in retail packaging.
