Product Information

Early examples of the latest generation of M.2 drives, using the PCI Express 5.0 bus, also come in the Type-2280 format, but it's expected that some PCIe 5.0 slots on new motherboards will be built to support the larger Type-25110 format (25mm by 110mm), so we may well see PCIe 5.0 SSDs with these dimensions as well. PCIe 5 drives are capable of tremendous throughput speeds (in excess of 10,000MBps) that should generate abundant heat, and the SSDs we have seen so far come with substantial built-in heatsinks. Remember this general rule, you can always size down when it comes to M.2 cards. You might run into some problems like connectors not lining up, but it’s common to see motherboards that are capable of accepting a maximum size and then most sizes smaller than that. The next two digits are the length in millimeters. These range from 30 at the smallest to 110 at the largest. The M.2 format uses a numerical code to designate its size. After the “M.2” you’ll see a string of 4 digits. These can be broken down into the first two digits and the last two digits. The Crucial T500 is for users willing to pay a little extra to get the best PCI Express 4.0 SSD performance. At a time when many low-priced DRAM-less SSDs are hitting the market, the T500 has a full DRAM cache (as well as a top-shelf Phison controller and 232-layer TLC NAND flash), which could give it an advantage in sustained large-file transfers, as well as in use with the PS5.

The direct answer to can you fit a 22110 into a 2280 slot is no. The 2280 motherboard slot will not be long enough to accommodate the full length of a M.2 22110 device.In my early career, I worked as an editor of scholarly science books, and as an editor of "Dummies"-style computer guidebooks for Brady Books (now, BradyGames). I'm a lifetime New Yorker, a graduate of New York University's journalism program, and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. Compared with HDD, SSD has faster transmission, lower power consumption, and larger capacity. Therefore, its market share increases year after year too. As for now, the commonly used SSD interfaces are SATA, PCI-E, M.2 2242, and M.2 2280. If you are confusing which one is better to install on your computer, here is a full guide to tell you the differences and relationship between them. M.2 first took off by replacing SATA SSD connections for compact devices like laptops. However, the slim form factor and powerful performance has led M.2 to jump into the ring for everything from standard PCs to performance tuned gaming rigs.

How To Distinguish the Differences Between M.2 Cards The M.2 platform is versatile and supports a wide variety of M.2 cards. M.2 cards can be configured with different hardware and functionality within the M.2 platform. (For example: To suit the individual needs of the computer and provide an array of configuration options for the user.) Physical size is the easiest observable way to distinguish the difference between cards. The M.2 standard uses a numerical naming convention to identify the specific abilities and functionality of the card.
