Industrial M.2 NVMe SSDs

M.2 is the physical form factor. M.2 NVMe drives connect over PCI Express, while M.2 SATA drives use the SATA interface, and most hosts support only one, so they usually can’t be swapped. Check your host’s M.2 key (M-key for NVMe; B+M key often means SATA) and interface support before choosing a drive. See AMP M.2 SATA SSDs.

M.2 2230, 2242, 2280 and 22110. All are 22mm wide, and the last digits give the length in millimeters: 30mm, 42mm, 80mm and 110mm. Check the mounting position and clearance in your host.

PCIe Gen4 x4, Gen3 x4, Gen3 x2 and Gen2 x4, depending on the product family. Actual performance depends on both the drive and the generation and lane count the host supports.

Usually. PCIe drives negotiate down to the generation the host supports, so a Gen4 drive will run at Gen3 speed in a Gen3 slot. Confirm keying, power and thermal limits before qualifying.

Capacities range from 16GB to 15.36TB, with 3D TLC, BiCS3 TLC and pSLC options depending on the product family and board length. For MLC, contact us to verify availability.

Yes. AMP industrial NVMe SSDs in the M.2 format are rated from −40°C to 85°C, and commercial drives from 0°C to 70°C. Automotive-grade Gen4 drives are also available. Use the temperature filter in the catalog to see them.

Mainly the operating temperature. Industrial drives are rated −40°C to 85°C, compared with 0°C to 70°C for commercial drives. Industrial designs also tend to use write-durable NAND such as pSLC, and selected drives add power-loss protection. Each product page lists what that drive supports.

Yes. Radiation-hardened Gen4 M.2 2280 drives are available with 3D TLC from 960GB to 3.84TB or pSLC from 240GB to 960GB, rated from −40°C to 85°C. Contact us with your program requirements.

Yes. AMP M.2 NVMe drives in 2242 (500GB), 2280 (500GB) and 22110 (2TB and 4TB) are NIAP Common Criteria certified and on the NSA CSfC Components List for hardware full drive encryption. See Common Criteria & CSfC drives for the certified models. Contact us with the standard you need to confirm the exact part, firmware and certificate status.

Drives with a DRAM cache hold up better under sustained and random writes, and hardware power-loss protection is offered on selected drives with DRAM. DRAM-less drives cost less and suit boot drives and read-mostly embedded systems.

No. Power-loss protection is available on selected commercial and industrial Gen4 drives with a DRAM cache. Encryption, TCG Opal and end-to-end data-path protection also vary by product family and part number. Each product page lists what that drive supports.

AMP builds its industrial drives with a locked bill of materials to support long product life cycles. When a drive does reach end of life, AMP helps you qualify a compatible replacement.

Yes. Send the existing part number, host system, board length, PCIe generation, capacity, temperature range and annual quantity, and AMP will recommend compatible options to qualify.
