The TEAMGROUP MS30 256GB is an M.2 2280 SSD on the SATA III (6Gb/s) interface, rated up to 550MB/s read and 470MB/s write. It is an easy way to make an older PC boot and load apps much faster, as long as your motherboard's M.2 slot supports SATA drives. No cables, no drive bay.
Why pick the MS30
- Windows and everyday apps load far quicker than on a mechanical hard drive.
- M.2 2280 form factor mounts straight onto the motherboard with no data or power cables.
- SATA interface works with most older and current boards whose M.2 slot accepts SATA.
- 256GB is enough for the OS, your core software and a couple of lighter games.

Before you order
- This is a SATA M.2 drive, not NVMe. Check your motherboard manual: some newer boards have NVMe-only M.2 slots.
- On some boards, running an M.2 slot in SATA mode disables one of the regular SATA ports.
- If your board supports NVMe and you want much faster game loading, browse the NVMe drives in our storage category.
FAQ
Is the TEAMGROUP MS30 an NVMe SSD?
No. It is an M.2 drive that uses the SATA III interface, so it tops out around 550MB/s read and 470MB/s write, the same class as a 2.5-inch SATA SSD.
Will it work in any M.2 slot?
Only in M.2 slots that support SATA. If your motherboard manual lists the slot as PCIe/NVMe only, the drive will not be detected.
Is 256GB enough for gaming?
It covers Windows, your apps and a few smaller titles. Big modern games often need 100GB or more each, so pick a 1TB drive for a game library.
Does it fit laptops?
Yes, if the laptop has a 2280-length M.2 slot that supports SATA. Check your laptop's specifications first.
