Exascend EXPE4M960GB PE4 960GB 3D TLC M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4x4 SSD - Mammoth 2

Built for uncompromising speed and endurance, the Exascend EXPE4M960GB PE4 Mammoth 2 pushes PCIe Gen4 to its limits. Unlike typical consumer drives that throttle under sustained loads, this 960GB M.2 2280 SSD pairs a Phison E18 controller with 3D TLC NAND and DDR4 DRAM cache to deliver workstation-class performance in a compact form factor. Whether you're editing 8K video, running AI inference, or managing massive datasets, the Mammoth 2 keeps pace without breaking a sweat.

Highlights

• Blistering sequential speeds up to 7,400 MB/s read and 6,800 MB/s write
• Up to 1,000,000 random read/write IOPS for responsive multitasking
• NVMe 1.4 protocol with PCIe Gen4 x4 interface for maximum bandwidth
• Hardware AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal 2.0 for data security
• End-to-end data protection and enhanced power loss protection technology
• Rated for 700 TBW and backed by a 5-year limited warranty

In daily use

From booting your operating system in seconds to transferring 100GB project files in under 15 seconds, the Mammoth 2 eliminates storage bottlenecks. Its DRAM cache ensures consistent low latency even during mixed read/write workloads, while advanced thermal throttling management keeps temperatures in check. The drive supports SSD temperature monitoring, so you can track thermal headroom in real time. With a mean time between failures of 2,000,000 hours, it's built for 24/7 operation in demanding environments.
