Internal SSDs Support

What is the difference between an M.2 SATA SSD and an M.2 PCIe SSD?
M.2 is the physical form factor. SATA and PCIe are different bus standards used to communicate with the motherboard. An M.2 PCIe SSD will be much faster than an M.2 SATA SSD.
Are M.2 SATA SSDs faster than 2.5
No, they are generally about the same. The only difference is form factor.
Does having an M.2 slot mean I can use a PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD?
Please read your motherboard or system manufacturer documentation that came with your computer. It will inform you about the type(s) of ports available on your motherboard and thus what SSDs you can use. You cannot tell just by looking at the port.
Can I use the M.2 form factor in my computer?
Please read your motherboard or system manufacturer documentation that came with your computer. It will inform you about the type(s) of ports available on your motherboard.
Do Verbatim Vi560 SATA III M.2 2280 SSDs use a
Verbatim Vi560 SATA III M.2 2280 SSDs are "B&M key". It will fit in a PCIe NVMe M.2 socket or a SATA III M.2 socket.
What is NVMe?
Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is a protocol designed to optimize communication with non-volatile memory media (such as NAND flash and Persistent Memory). The low latency and parallelism inherent in the protocol make NVMe SSDs the fastest in the consumer SSD market.
What does 2280 mean in M.2 product descriptions?
2280 refers to the physical dimensions of the M.2 SSD. 22 means 22mm wide while 80 means 80mm long. 2280 is the most common consumer M.2 SSD size.
Are Verbatim M.2 SSDs single-sided or double-sided?
Verbatim M.2 SATA SSDs are single-sided.
Do I need special drivers to use an M.2 SSD?
No, both M.2 SATA and M.2 PCIe use drivers natively found in the operating system of your host device.
What is an SSD?
Solid State Drive. An SSD is a solid state drive that employs flash memory and used for all of your data storage needs. Compared to a traditional mechanical hard disk drive (HDD), SSDs do not have moving parts, generate less heat, use less power, and offer higher performance.
What are the benefits of an SSD?
With transfer speeds far superior to mechanical hard disk drives (HDD), SSD benefits include: decreased system boot time, more efficient multi-tasking, and faster system responsiveness. SSDs offer significant performance improvements when replacing your current system’s hard drive (HDD), greater shock resistance, reduced power consumption, and longer battery life for laptop applications.
What operating systems are supported?
Verbatim SSDs function independently of the host computer's operating system.
Can I install the operating system onto the SSD?
Yes, please follow the instructions provided by your OS to create a bootable system drive.
What is the host interface?
The host interface is how your SSD will connect with your host computer. Most external SSDs connect via USB or Thunderbolt III, while internal SSDs connect via SATA III or PCIe interfaces. This interface type will be marked on the Verbatim SSD packaging. For additional information on your host computer's host interface, please reference the host computer's motherboard documentation.
What is SATA?
Serial ATA. This is an interface between the SSD and the host computer. Verbatim SSDs use the current generation SATA III, which is an 6 Gb/s backwards compatible interface. Many PCs utilize this interface as it became popular in the early 2000s and many PCs are still made with this interface today.
How do I install the Verbatim SSD?
For general installation guidance, please access the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com, find your SSD model, and navigate to the Quick Start Guide (QSG). If this is more involved than you feel comfortable doing, Verbatim requests professional installation.
Do I need any additional or special software with my SSD?
For general use of Verbatim SSDs, no special software is required. If you want additional functionality and features, download the Verbatim SSD Utility for your product from the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com. If you wish to migrate your personal data and operating system from an existing hard drive (HDD), find a commercially available data cloning software to facilitate the process.
What is S.M.A.R.T.?
S.M.A.R.T., an acronym for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, is an open standard that allows a hard disk drive to automatically detect its health and report potential failures. When a failure is recorded by S.M.A.R.T., users can choose to replace the drive to prevent unexpected outage or data loss. Moreover, S.M.A.R.T. can inform users of impending failures while there is still time to perform proactive actions, such as copy data to another device. S.M.A.R.T. is a feature of the Verbatim SSD Utility.
What is TBW?
Terabytes Written (TBW)is defined as the total amount of data in terabytes that can be written to a SSD before the SSD may begin to become unreliable. The SSD’s remaining life metric determines remaining SSD life span by comparing the SSD’s maximum TBW rating to actual terabytes written. Verbatim SSDs covered by this warranty have maximum TBW ratings that can be accessed on the respective product specification sheets located at www.verbatim.com. The SSD’s remaining life begins at 100% and will decrease to zero (0%) as the end user utilizes the SSD.
What is MTBF?
Mean Time Between Failures. An electronics industry metric that predicts elapsed time between inherent failures of a mechanical or electronic system, during normal system operation.
What are IOPS?
Input/Output Operations per Second. This is an industry standard metric that measures the random read/write performance of simultaneous inputs/outputs based using a 4k block size. The higher the IOPS the better the performance.
What is the warranty on my Verbatim SSD?
Verbatim offers a Limited Three Year Warranty up to the Terabytes Written (TBW) rating for our internal SSDs. Additional details can be found on the Verbatim website at www.verbatim.com.
Can I use my SSD in a server environment?
Verbatim SSDs are intended for use in client PC applications, and are not intended for server environments.
