Why Choose DATO DP342

The DATO DP342 512GB combines a compact M.2 2242 form factor with PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe performance, making it a practical storage upgrade for compatible compact devices. Its up to 2500MB/s read and 1700MB/s write speeds provide a substantial performance level for everyday computing, productivity applications, system upgrades, and data transfers.

Important Considerations

Before purchasing or installing the DATO DP342, confirm that your device supports an M.2 2242 PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe SSD. M.2 is a physical form factor with multiple interface and length variations, so an M.2 2242 slot does not automatically guarantee NVMe compatibility. The DP342 is specifically designed for M.2 2242 NVMe systems and should not be treated as a universal replacement for M.2 2230 or M.2 2280 drives.

Actual performance may vary depending on the host system, PCIe generation, controller, firmware, workload, thermals, and other hardware conditions. The advertised maximum speeds represent manufacturer-rated sequential performance under applicable conditions.
