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. Its single-sided layout fits slim devices, and the 1TB capacity provides ample room for games and apps, though it is not compatible with standard M.2 2280 slots. 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.
