It uses an NVMe link at PCIe 4.0 speed with four lanes. It is a read intensive drive with TLC flash. Seller listings call it a BOSS-N1 drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat 2280 tells you\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM.2 sizes are written as width and length. The number 2280 means 22 mm wide and 80 mm long. Check that your boot card or slot takes that length before you swap. M.2 drives are small and sit flat on a card or board. They need no cable and no carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA boot drive, not a work drive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDell's BOSS cards hold small M.2 drives that run the operating system. That keeps the front bays free for data. Cards of this kind usually hold two drives in a mirror, so the server keeps booting if one drive fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne write a day\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeller listings rate the drive at 1 drive write per day. On 960GB, that is 0.96TB of new data a day. An operating system, its logs and its updates write far less than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe drive behind the label\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeller listings name a Micron drive inside, with the model code MTFDKBA960TDZ.
