Hard Drive Apacer AP512GAS2280P4 512 GB SSD

512 GB NVMe SSD. 3D TLC NAND. NVMe 1.3. PCIe 3.0 & 4.0 Compatible. M.2. 3.3V. Black & Multicolour. Plastic. 0°–70°C. SSD NVMe & PC/Notebook Compatible. The Apacer AS2280P4 M.2 NVMe SSD.

The Apacer AP512GAS2280P4 AS2280P4 is a 512 GB M.2 NVMe SSD with 3D TLC NAND memory, NVMe 1.3 protocol, PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 slot compatibility, 3.3V operating voltage, Black and Multicolour plastic construction and a 0°–70°C operating temperature range. Compatible with SSD NVMe and PC/Notebook platforms. Internal M.2 installation — PCIe 3.0 slot delivers 2,100 MB/s read and 1,700 MB/s write at rated PCIe Gen 3x4 speeds. PCIe 4.0 slot backward compatible at the same rated Gen 3 speeds. NVMe 1.3 protocol for optimised command queue depth and power management over AHCI.

3D TLC NAND + NVMe 1.3 + PCIe 3.0 & 4.0 Compatible + 3.3V + 0°–70°C + Plastic Construction: The Six Apacer AS2280P4 Specifications That Define Its Memory, Protocol, Compatibility and Operating Range.

The 3D TLC NAND with NVMe 1.3 protocol combines vertically stacked triple-level cell NAND with NVMe 1.3’s command set and power management specification — the 3D TLC architecture stacking NAND cells vertically to increase storage density without reducing cell integrity at the horizontal scaling limits that planar TLC encounters, while NVMe 1.3 provides the command queue depth of 65,535 commands per queue across multiple queues that makes the AS2280P4 more responsive in random I/O workloads than any SATA AHCI drive’s 32-command single queue permits. NVMe 1.3’s power management states reduce the AS2280P4’s idle power draw compared to NVMe 1.2 through improved PS4 and PS5 low-power states — relevant for PC/Notebook deployments where M.2 SSD power management directly affects battery life during mixed-use sessions where the drive spends significant time in low-activity states between active file access operations. The PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 M.2 slot compatibility ensures the Apacer AS2280P4 installs and operates at its rated 2,100 MB/s read and 1,700 MB/s write speeds in any PCIe Gen 3x4 M.2 slot, and operates at those same rated speeds through backward compatibility in any PCIe Gen 4 M.2 slot — covering Intel 8th through 14th generation and AMD Ryzen 1000 through 7000 series platforms with M.2 PCIe slots in either generation without a separate drive purchase for each platform generation. The 3.3V operating voltage is the standard M.2 NVMe module operating voltage that every M.2 slot supplies natively — the AS2280P4 drawing 3.3V from the M.2 connector without a separate power cable or voltage regulator, operating within the power envelope that the M.2 specification defines for PCIe NVMe modules in both desktop motherboard and PC/Notebook M.2 slots. The 0°–70°C operating temperature range covers the full ambient temperature range that PC/Notebook and desktop PC deployments encounter in standard home, office and gaming environments, maintaining the AS2280P4’s rated 2,100 MB/s read and 1,700 MB/s write performance and data integrity across the full range without thermal throttling. The Black and Multicolour plastic construction provides the physical protection for the AS2280P4’s M.2 PCB and NAND components during installation and system transport.
