Silicon Power Introduces UD90 M.2 2230 Form Factor NVMe SSD
Following the success of the UD90 M.2 2280 NVMe SSD, Silicon Power is excited to introduce the first M.2 2230 form factor to its lineup of high-performance NVMe SSDs. The UD90 in this new and compact size, which is 62.5% smaller than the M.2 2280, has been specifically designed for the increasing popularity of portable game consoles, such as Steam Deck and ROG Ally. Its smaller dimensions enable seamless integration into these space-constrained consoles for lightning-fast speeds and ultra-high capacities without compromise. This move underscores Silicon Power’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation and providing solutions that empower gamers to make the most of their experiences, no matter how they choose to play games.
Performance That Defies Its Size
The UD90 redefines speed and performance for on-the-go gamers. With blazing read and write speeds up to 5,000MB/s and 3,200MB/s, respectively, this SSD harnesses the power of its PCIe Gen4x4 interface and NVMe technology to deliver unparalleled performance in a tiny form factor. Gamers can now experience quicker load times, seamless world rendering, and smoother gameplay transitions on portable game consoles that rival the performance of traditional gaming setups. In fact, the M.2 2230 delivers better power density performance, which is approximately 12% higher than the M.2 2280.
