Engineered for serious gaming, high-end content creation, and demanding workstation tasks, this PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive delivers blazing speed, responsive system performance, and dependable reliability in a compact M.2 2280 form factor. Whether you’re loading worlds in your favorite titles, editing 4K footage, or running multiple resource-heavy applications, the P44 Pro is designed to keep your system snappy, reduce bottlenecks, and unlock the full potential of your build. With capacities reaching up to 2 TB, you’ll have ample room for games, assets, and software, all while benefiting from strong endurance and streamlined efficiency that helps your PC stay cool under pressure. Built to upgrade everyday PCs into performance machines, the Solidigm P44 Pro is a compelling choice for enthusiasts who demand fast, dependable storage without compromise.
- Blazing PCIe Gen4 NVMe performance for gaming and content creation. The P44 Pro is designed to deliver high sequential read and write speeds that accelerate load times, texture streaming, large file transfers, and real-time editing workflows. This makes it ideal for modern, GPU-accelerated games, creative software suites, and data-intensive workloads where every second counts. With Gen4 bandwidth, you’ll experience smoother multitasking, quicker program launches, and a more responsive system even when working with multiple assets and applications simultaneously.
- Capacities up to 2TB to power ambitious builds. Choose the capacity that fits your needs—from your favorite AAA titles and expansive media libraries to large project files and software catalogs. The P44 Pro’s generous storage options ensure you won’t have to juggle drives or compromise on performance as your library grows. This makes it an excellent upgrade for gaming rigs, creator workstations, and professional setups that demand substantial, fast storage without sacrificing performance elsewhere in the system.
- Engineered for reliability and durability. Solidigm prioritizes endurance and data integrity with features that reduce wear during sustained workloads. The P44 Pro is built to endure long gaming sessions, continuous rendering, and heavy file operations, while maintaining consistent performance. This level of dependability translates into fewer interruptions, steadier streaming, and confidence that important projects and game saves remain protected over time.
- Efficient thermal behavior and smart management. Gen4 NVMe drives can heat up under heavy load, but the P44 Pro is designed with thermals in mind to minimize throttling and maintain steady performance. The drive’s controller and firmware work in concert to manage power consumption and temperature, helping to sustain peak throughput during extended gaming or editing sessions. Cooler operation also contributes to longer drive life and a more comfortable, quieter system overall.
- Easy upgrade path with robust software tools. Upgrading is straightforward: install the M.2 SSD into a compatible motherboard or PCIe adapter, initialize the drive in the operating system, and begin cloning or transferring data with reliable utilities. Solidigm provides practical tools to help you migrate from existing storage, manage health and SMART data, and monitor performance. This streamlines the migration process and ensures you can start using your new drive with minimal downtime.

How to install Solidigm P44 Pro Series SSD
- Prepare your system: Power down your computer completely and unplug it from any power source. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge before handling components.
- Locate the M.2 slot: Open your PC case or laptop service panel and identify an available M.2 slot. Most modern motherboards include at least one PCIe Gen4 M.2 slot suitable for the P44 Pro; refer to your motherboard manual if you’re unsure.
- Install the drive: Insert the Solidigm P44 Pro into the M.2 slot at about a 30-degree angle. Gently press it down toward the slot and secure it with the mounting screw provided with your motherboard or kit. Ensure the connector is fully seated and the drive lies flush with the motherboard.
- Power up and initialize: Reassemble your system, power on, and enter your operating system. Initialize the new SSD using Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (macOS). If you’re cloning from an existing drive, use Solidigm’s recommended cloning tool or your preferred disk-cloning software to migrate data.
- Configure and optimize: In the OS, format the drive with an appropriate file system (e.g., NTFS for Windows, APFS for macOS) and assign a drive letter or mount point. Update firmware if available, enable any performance-enhancing settings in BIOS/UEFI (such as PCIe Gen4 mode and NVMe support), and install management software to monitor health, TBW, and temperature.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Is the Solidigm P44 Pro compatible with my system? A: The P44 Pro uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor with PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe interface. It will work with systems that support PCIe Gen4 NVMe storage. If you have a PCIe Gen3 system, it may still operate, but at Gen3 speeds. Always check your motherboard or laptop specifications to confirm compatibility and available M.2 slots.
- Q: What capacities are available in the P44 Pro Series? A: The product line offers configurations up to 2 TB, with multiple capacities depending on the model you purchase. This lets you balance budget, storage needs, and performance for your specific use case.
- Q: Do I need a heatsink for this SSD? A: The need for a heatsink depends on your system and workload. PCIe Gen4 drives can run hot during sustained heavy use. If your motherboard or enclosure lacks adequate airflow, consider a low-profile heatsink or ensuring good case ventilation to maintain peak performance and longevity.
- Q: How do I migrate data to the P44 Pro? A: You can clone your existing drive using recommended cloning software, or perform a fresh OS install and transfer data manually. Solidigm provides software utilities to assist with migration and drive health monitoring, which can simplify the transition to your new SSD.
- Q: What kind of warranty accompanies the P44 Pro? A: Warranty terms vary by capacity and region. Check the official Solidigm product page or your retailer’s documentation for the exact warranty coverage and any registration requirements.
