MX44 PRO
The 1TB M.2 2230 form factor with PCIe 4.0 x4 interface delivers up to 5000 MB/s reads and 4700 MB/s writes, making it a fast storage option for handheld consoles and compact systems.

This SSD suits owners of handheld gaming consoles or space-saving PCs that specifically support M.2 2230 NVMe drives and need faster data access than Gen3.
