Apacer AS2280Q4U 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD
The Apacer AS2280Q4U is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD built for gamers and content creators who need fast storage expansion. It delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 7,400 and 7,000 MB/s respectively, with a design and heat management tailored for PS5 compatibility.
Why this product
PCIe Gen4 x4 with NVMe 1.4 compliance
It offers read/write speeds of 7,400/7,000 MB/s, roughly twice as fast as PCIe Gen3 drives.
PS5-ready design and capacity
It meets all PS5 M.2 SSD requirements, fits the console's slot, and includes heat dissipation styling inspired by the DualSense controller.
Dedicated heat sink reduces thermal throttling
The spreader with special diversion cutting reduces PCIe 4.0 temperatures by up to 35%, keeping performance stable under sustained loads.
5-year warranty and built-in protection
It includes SLC caching, wear leveling, and error correction to maintain consistency over time, backed by a five-year global warranty.

- PS5 consoles — meets all M.2 SSD expansion requirements.
- PCIe Gen4 x4 slots on desktops and laptops running Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Systems with M.2 slots but no Gen4 support will run it at slower PCIe Gen3 speeds instead.
- PCIe Gen3 or older systems — will work but will not achieve advertised speeds.
Best for
- PS5 owners needing extra game storage
- Gamers and video editors with Gen4 PCs seeking fast load times and rendering
- Users who want sustained performance without thermal throttling
Trade-offs
- Systems with only PCIe Gen3 slots — it will run but not at full Gen4 speeds.
- Budget builds where lower-cost SATA SSDs meet the storage need.
- Tight M.2 slot spaces — the heat sink version is 10.8 mm tall and may not fit all enclosures.
AS2280Q4U's blazing-fast PCIe Gen4 x4 interface is fully compliant with the NVMe 1.4 standard. With sequential read/write performance of up to 7,400/7,000 MB/s, it is twice as fast as a Gen3 SSD, and 15 times faster than a SATA SSD, providing unparalleled performance for gamers and video creators.
Built with 3D NAND Flash, AS2280Q4U offers capacity options of up to 8TB and performs higher efficiency and reliability. It meets the M.2 SSD requirements for PS5 in all respects, making it a simple solution to gain extra storage space on PS5.
There's an aesthetic similarity that makes it the perfect partner for the PS5 in looks. It also features a heat dissipation portal that's been crafted to suggest the dimensions of the PS5's DualSense controller.
AS2280Q4U SSD provides a dedicated heat spreader with special diversion cutting design to effectively reduce the PCIe 4.0 SSD temperature by up to 35%. So gamers don't need to worry about performance reductions caused by higher temperatures.
To provide users with a flawless high-speed experience, the AS2280Q4U have a number of built-in protection technologies. SLC caching is a technology designed to effectively ensure that data is stored correctly and stably. With the built-in advanced wear leveling technology and automatic error correction functions, it can not only extend the service life of the SSD and improve operational stability, but also ensure that the product maintains consistent performance after long-term use.
The AS2280Q4U SSD comes with a five-year global warranty, allowing users to enjoy games with peace of mind.
