Dell 1TB Class 35 M.2 2230 NVMe Gen4 SSD

Name: Dell 1TB Class 35 M.2 2230 NVMe Gen4 SSD
Brand: Dell
SKU: 1TB Class 35 M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Gen 4x4

Overview

The Dell 1TB Class 35 M.2 2230 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD is a compact solid-state drive designed for Dell systems that use the shorter M.2 2230 slot rather than the standard 2280 length. The Gen 4x4 PCIe interface delivers substantially faster data transfer speeds compared to older Gen 3 drives, translating into quicker boot times, faster application launches, and improved responsiveness in everyday computing tasks. With 1TB of storage capacity, the drive provides enough room for an operating system, a full suite of productivity or creative applications, and a substantial library of files.

As a genuine Dell component, the SSD is validated for use across a broad range of Dell product families including Alienware gaming systems, Inspiron and XPS consumer laptops, Latitude and Vostro business notebooks, Optiplex desktops, and Precision workstations. The 2230 form factor is particularly important for ultraportable laptops and compact desktops where space constraints prevent the use of full-length 2280 drives. For Dell system owners looking for a straightforward storage upgrade with assured compatibility, this drive provides a dependable solution backed by Dell's own quality standards.

Can this SSD be used in non-Dell computers that have an M.2 2230 slot?

While it is designed and sold for Dell systems, the M.2 2230 NVMe form factor is a standard interface, so it may physically fit in other devices with a compatible slot, though Dell does not officially certify it for non-Dell hardware.
