1. General Descriptions

Apacer PV910-M280 (M.2 2280) is the next generation modularized Solid State Drive (SSD) with the

shape of all new M.2 form factor, aimed to be the more suitable for mobile and compact computers

with standard width at only 22.00 mm. PV910-M280 appears in M.2 2280 mechanical dimensions and

is believed to be the leading add-in storage solution for future host computing systems.

The M.2 SSD is designed with PCIe-based connector pinouts, providing full compliance with the latest

PCIe Gen3 x2 interface specifications. Aside from PCIe compliance, PV910-M280 delivers

exceptional performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, the extreme thin and light form

factor makes PV910-M280 the ideal choice for mobile computing systems, which appears to be the

trend in near future.

Regarding reliability, PV910-M280 is built with a powerful PCIe controller that supports on-the-module

ECC as well as efficient wear leveling scheme. In terms of power efficiency, PV910-M280 is compliant

with PCIe Gen3 x2 interface standard so that it can operate on power management modes, which

greatly save on power consumption.
