Apacer AS2280P4X 256 GB (AP256GAS2280P4X-1)

The Apacer AS2280P4X is a line of internal M.2 2280 (M-key) SSD drives designed for upgrading PCs and NVMe-compatible laptops. All Apacer AS2280P4X models operate via the PCIe Gen3 x4 interface with NVMe protocol and use 3D NAND memory, delivering significantly faster OS, game, and application startup times compared to SATA drives. The series is available in capacities of 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB, with typical peak performance rated up to 2100 MB/s read and 1700 MB/s write (depending on capacity and platform). Endurance is specified by the TBW parameter, which for the Apacer AS2280P4X reaches 170 TB (256 GB), 200 TB (512 GB), 350 TB (1 TB), and 480 TB (2 TB), providing important reference for sustained write workloads. Power supply is 3.3 V (±5%), with maximum active power consumption up to 4000 mW and idle consumption as low as 70 mW, making the drive suitable for mobile systems as well. Operating temperature range is 0–70 °C, storage range −40–85 °C; shock resistance up to 1500 G and vibration resistance are also specified, enhancing reliability during transport. Physical dimensions are 80×22 mm with thickness up to 2.25 mm for single-sided or up to 3.50 mm for double-sided versions, and weight approximately 6.8 g. The Apacer AS2280P4X is a practical choice for systems requiring NVMe Gen3 performance without stepping up to more expensive Gen4 or Gen5 platforms.
