• Ultra-dense capacity in a compact form: 1 TB in an M.2 2280 package lets OEMs design slimmer devices and expand storage without sacrificing space, power, or thermal headroom. The 176-layer QLC NAND architecture from Micron enables higher raw capacity per die, delivering a compelling price-per-gigabyte for client systems that demand both performance and storage scale. This is particularly valuable for gaming laptops, content-creation notebooks, and business-class ultrabooks that require sizable local storage without resorting to additional drives or external enclosures.
• Blazing fast PCIe Gen4 NVMe performance: The Micron 2400 leverages the PCIe Gen4 x4 interface to deliver remarkably responsive system behavior. With NVMe efficiency designed for consumer and OEM workloads, users experience quicker boot sequences, near-instant app and game loading, and rapid file transfers. The Gen4 pathway reduces latency and increases throughput relative to Gen3 equivalents, translating into tangible improvements for multitasking, large-file workflows, and data-intensive applications.
• QLC technology with optimized endurance: Built on 176-layer QLC NAND, the Micron 2400 balances high-density storage with solid endurance for everyday computing, creative work, and light to moderate professional workloads. This architecture is optimized for client devices and OEM deployments, offering a strong balance of performance, cost-efficiency, and longevity that supports a broad range of use cases—from OS drives to scratch disks for creative software.
• Efficient power and thermal behavior: The Micron 2400 is designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping extend battery life in laptops and reducing heat generation in compact desktops and embedded systems. Lower power draw during idle and sustained low-power operation keeps thermals in check, supporting sustained performance in longer sessions and gaming scenarios while preserving notebook battery life and device lifespan.
• OEM-friendly reliability and warranty: This drive is built to support large-scale deployment with consistent manufacturing quality, firmware updates, and long-term availability. It comes with a standard warranty and engineering support geared toward OEM customers, ensuring stable supply, predictable performance, and dependable operation across a range of devices and thermal envelopes.

How to install Micron 2400 1 TB Solid State Drive

Before you begin, ensure your system supports an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD with a PCIe Gen4 interface and that you have a compatible mounting screw for the SSD. If your motherboard or laptop already houses an M.2 slot, the installation is straightforward and can be completed in a few steps.

Step 1: Prepare your workspace and power. Shut down the computer, unplug power, and ground yourself to avoid static discharge. If you are upgrading a laptop, remove the battery if possible or ensure the system is completely powered down.

Step 2: Access the M.2 slot. Open your device’s back panel or dedicated M.2 cover to reveal the M.2 slot(s). If there is an existing drive, you may need to remove it to free the slot. Consult your device’s manual for precise instructions, as the layout can vary between models.

Step 3: Align and insert. Hold the Micron 2400 by its edges and align the notches with the M.2 slot. Insert gently at about a 30-degree angle until the connector seats firmly. Do not apply excessive force; if it doesn’t slide in smoothly, recheck alignment.

Step 4: Secure the drive. Once the module is correctly seated, press it down towards the motherboard and secure it with the mounting screw captured in the device’s packaging or chassis. Tighten just enough to secure the drive without over-tightening, which could damage the PCB or the slot.

Step 5: Power up and initialize. Reassemble any panels you removed and reconnect power. Boot the system, enter the BIOS/UEFI, and verify that the new SSD is detected in the storage devices list. Save changes and exit. In Windows, macOS, or Linux, you may need to initialize, partition, and format the new drive before use. Follow your operating system’s disk management or disk utility instructions to create a primary volume with a suitable file system (NTFS for Windows, APFS for macOS, ext4 or others for Linux).

Step 6: Optimize and configure. After formatting, you can configure storage settings in your OS and install essential software. If heat is a concern in compact laptops or desktops with limited airflow, consider enabling a small heatsink or ensuring adequate airflow around the M.2 slot. Regular firmware updates from Micron can help optimize performance and reliability, so check for available updates and apply them as directed.

Notes for best results: While the Micron 2400 is designed to deliver strong performance in client devices, sustained high-intensity workloads may benefit from maintaining adequate cooling, particularly in slim notebooks or compact desktops. Always back up important data before performing hardware changes. If you are migrating data from an older drive, use cloning software or OS-based migration tools to move your system and files to the new SSD with minimal downtime.
