Micron 2400 2 TB Solid State Drive — M.2 2230 Internal PCIe NVMe Gen4 x4

The Micron 2400 2 TB Solid State Drive is engineered for handheld gaming and compact systems, delivering the speed you crave in a slim, portable format. Built on a 176-layer PCIe Gen4 QLC NAND architecture, this drive unlocks a larger library of games and media without sacrificing space or efficiency. Its M.2 2230 form factor is tailor-made for small laptops, compact consoles, and other space-constrained devices, giving you the power of modern PCIe NVMe performance where you need it most. Whether you’re upgrading a handheld gaming console or expanding storage in a travel-ready laptop, the Micron 2400 is designed to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle with reliability, fast load times, and ample capacity.

• With 2 TB of storage, you can download, install, and maintain a substantial game collection, plus media libraries and project files, all in a single, compact drive. The generous capacity reduces the need to constantly manage space, letting you focus on gameplay and creativity rather than storage logistics. The Micron 2400’s dense 176-layer QLC NAND supports high-density storage without inflating the drive’s physical footprint, making it an economical choice for large libraries and frequent updates. In practical terms, you’ll experience longer gaps between juggling installs and frees up room for new releases, keeping your device ready for the next big title.
• The M.2 2230 form factor is specifically designed for compact devices, including handheld gaming devices like portable consoles and thin laptops. Its ultra-short profile fits into tight PCIe slots without protruding beyond the edge of the motherboard, enabling you to upgrade devices that demand space efficiency without compromising performance. The 2230 size also helps with cooling and airflow in portable devices, contributing to more stable performance during long gaming sessions or extended use. This makes the Micron 2400 an ideal upgrade for devices that require high-speed storage but can’t accommodate bulkier drives.
• PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe delivers a noticeable boost in data throughput, dramatically shortening load times, level transitions, and asset streaming. The Gen4 interface provides a dramatic improvement over Gen3 storage, especially for modern games with large texture packs and frequent in-game assets. On compatible systems, you’ll feel snappier system-wide responsiveness—from fast game launches to quicker file transfers and rapid in-game loading. The 2400 is designed to deliver this high-speed performance in a form factor that suits portable gaming rigs and compact workstations alike.
• 176-layer PCIe Gen4 QLC NAND brings high-density storage to a compact package. This technology delivers a favorable balance between capacity and cost, enabling large 2 TB drives to fit into smaller footprints. While QLC emphasizes capacity and affordability, Micron’s engineering optimizes endurance and efficiency through advanced wear leveling, caching, and controller optimizations. The result is a drive that sustains fast read and write performance across typical gaming workloads while keeping power consumption in check for portable devices.
• Optimized for on-the-go use, the Micron 2400 emphasizes reliability, power efficiency, and easy integration. It’s designed to deliver strong sequential reads and writes, quick file access, and smooth game loading in handhelds and slim laptops. The drive’s modest power draw helps preserve battery life during gaming sessions, while its robust firmware and controller engineering provide consistent performance across diverse workloads. Whether you’re traveling, commuting, or simply using a space-constrained setup, the Micron 2400 aims to deliver a dependable, high-speed storage upgrade that supports your dynamic lifestyle.

How to install Micron 2400 2 TB Solid State Drive

• Power down your device completely and disconnect from any power source. If you’re upgrading a handheld or laptop, ensure it’s turned off and cooled before opening the enclosure.
• Locate the M.2 slot on the motherboard or daughterboard. Confirm that your device supports M.2 2230 form factors and PCIe NVMe drives in that slot.
• Prepare the drive for installation by orienting the connector with the notch aligned to the slot’s key. Insert the Micron 2400 at a slight angle (around 30 degrees) into the M.2 socket and then press it down toward the motherboard.
• Secure the drive with the mounting screw (often included with the device or the drive). Tighten gently to avoid overtightening, which can damage the slot or the drive.
• Power on the device and enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected. If required, initialize and format the new drive in your operating system’s disk management utility. Consider updating system firmware or BIOS to ensure optimal NVMe support.
• Install your games, applications, or clone data from your existing drive. If you’re migrating an OS, use reliable cloning software and choose the appropriate target drive to complete the transfer successfully.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the Micron 2400 compatible with my handheld device or laptop that uses an M.2 2230 slot?
  A: The Micron 2400 is designed for M.2 2230 slots with PCIe Gen4 x4 interfaces. Always verify your device’s supported form factor and PCIe version before upgrading to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
• Q: What performance benefits should I expect from upgrading to the Micron 2400?
  A: You can expect faster game loads, quicker asset streaming, and snappier system responsiveness due to the PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface. The 2 TB capacity also supports larger libraries, reducing the need to manage storage frequently.
• Q: Do I need extra cooling for this drive?
  A: In most handheld and compact systems, the Micron 2400 remains energy-efficient, but sustained, heavy loads can generate heat. If your device tends to throttle under load, consider additional cooling or ensuring adequate ventilation during long gaming sessions.
• Q: How do I clone or migrate data to the new drive?
  A: You can clone your existing drive using trusted cloning software, then replace the old drive with the Micron 2400. If performing a fresh OS install, back up your data first and follow the OS’s disk management steps to format and assign partitions.
• Q: Will this drive improve battery life in handheld devices?
  A: While NVMe drives themselves don’t dramatically reduce battery usage, Gen4 NVMe drives are engineered for efficiency and can contribute to better overall system responsiveness and faster task completion, which can indirectly impact perceived battery life during real-world use.
