Two terabytes of fast storage for a desktop PC, a game console with an M.2 expansion slot or a laptop with room to spare. The Stor 2 TB is a PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive rated for up to 7,300 MB/s reads, with an aluminum heatsink that keeps it at full speed through long copies.

On our test bench it read at 7,050 MB/s and copied a 120 GB game folder in 1 minute 35 seconds. During a 10-minute continuous write the heatsink held it at 149 °F, and the speed did not drop. Before you order, read our guide to checking which SSD fits.

Check before you order

An M.2 2280 slot: the drive is 80 mm long, the most common size
PCIe 4.0 for the full speed; in a PCIe 3.0 slot it works at about half
Height: the heatsink adds roughly a quarter inch, which fits desktops and consoles but often not a thin laptop

Moving your files

Back up first, then clone the old drive with free cloning software, or start with a clean Windows install
Add it as a second drive for games and photos if your PC has a free slot
A USB-C M.2 enclosure lets you clone a laptop with only one slot

The Nordan Book 15 has a standard M.2 PCIe 4.0 slot that takes it; in thinner laptops, check the space above the slot before buying a drive with a heatsink. Free next-day delivery included.
