IRDM M.2 SSD
Adding M.2 form factor to the IRDM portfolio
The premiere SSD offers several times the performance compared to the SATA III standard. This also means 6 times faster loading and saving of games.
Key features
- Available capacities:
256 GB 512 GB 1024 GB 2048 GB
- PCIe 3 x4 interface
- NVMe 1.3
- 8-channel Phison E12 controller with DRAM buffer
- 5-year warranty limited by the TBW* parameter and free technical support
To meet users expectations
The IRDM M.2 SSD achieves read speeds of 3,200 MB/s using the PCIe 3 x4 interface, providing users with capabilities suitable for their generation. The IRDM M.2 product specification allows it to be used as an alternative to products based on interface 4.0, which are very popular with enthusiasts due to their great performance, although they still have a high purchase price.
Warranty and technical support
The IRDM M.2 drive is covered by a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty, which is limited by the TBW parameter* and includes free technical support. All Goodram and IRDM drives undergo multi-stage quality testing at every stage of production.
* TBW (Total Bytes Written) – the endurance of SSDs; a parameter that defines the maximum amount of data that can be written to the media until the warranty expires. The TBW parameter is specified in the SSD product specifications.

[DE]: "The M.2 SSD scores with its high speeds and modern technology. It also impresses in terms of longevity, temperatures and power consumption."
[ES]: "The IRDM SSD M.2 offers really good random read speeds, above average and even surpassing PCIe 4.0 drives, so it is a unit to consider for the performance on offer."
[ES]: "This is definitely a product to consider when configuring our new computer (...) to have the best possible performance."
"The IRDM SSD M.2 is based on a quite modern design - a Phison E12 controller and 3D TLC NAND memory dice are on board. The medium stands out for its good performance in write tests, (...) it performs well in real-world tests, which are more meaningful from the point of view of real computer use."
"IRDM M.2 definitely deserves the badge "good, because Polish", as for a really affordable price we get a high-performance drive that can compete with global brands without complexes. What is more, aesthetes should be pleased with the fact that the drive looks very stylish (a combination of a black laminate with a black heatsink) and may become an adornment of our system, provided that it is not hidden under the heatsink of the motherboard. The IRDM M.2 is a really solid proposition in its segment."
[SK]: "It is commendable that the SSD maintains quite good performance even when writing larger directories, in the order of hundreds of gigabytes. The IRDM drive is also very efficient (...), so you don't have to worry about heating either. Decent sequential read and write performance, fast write even beyond pSLC, high application performance, low power consumption at and without load at an affordable price."
