“Top-line specs between the two form factors are identical. They’re both single-sided designs, both feature Micron 232-layer QLC NAND, both lack DRAM, and both utilize Phison’s E27T controller (a DRAMless four-channel design built off the back of TSMC’s 12nm process; yes, that does mean the price of these might go up if those US tariffs come into effect and stock runs out).
Top-line performance figures for the 2280 equally match up to its tiny cousin too. Even comparing the 1TB model I have here on test to the 2230, you’re looking at 7,100 MB/s on sequential reads and 6,000 MB/s on the writes, with a grand total of 220 TBW on the endurance front, doubling to 440 TBW for the 2TB variants. That’s not a whole lot by any means, but you do get a solid five-year warranty to back it up, and ideally you wouldn’t be using this drive for anything more than gaming.”- pcgamer.com
