Computer Parts 803218-002 256GB M.2 Sata Ssd

Product Description

The COMPUTER PARTS 803218-002 is a 256GB M.2 SATA solid-state drive using TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash technology. It is designed as an internal storage replacement for laptops and compact desktops that accept the M.2 form factor with a SATA interface. TLC NAND delivers a practical balance of storage density and endurance for general computing workloads. Technicians and IT service professionals install this drive when replacing a failed or undersized OEM storage unit in a supported system. The M.2 SATA interface is distinct from M.2 NVMe — confirming the correct interface type before installation is essential.

This drive is suited for use in portable computers and small-form-factor desktops that support the M.2 SATA interface. It is commonly installed during depot-level repair, warranty service, or storage upgrades where the original drive has failed or reached end of useful life. The 256GB capacity is a standard OEM configuration for mid-tier business and consumer notebooks.

Key Features

• 256GB TLC NAND flash storage for general-purpose computing applications
• M.2 form factor for compact, tool-less installation in supported systems
• SATA interface — compatible with M.2 SATA slots, not M.2 NVMe slots
• Drop-in replacement profile for OEM storage drives in supported platforms

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement M.2 SATA solid-state drive for compatible laptops and compact desktops that accept the M.2 SATA interface. Verify slot keying (B-key or B+M key) and interface type in the target system before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified IT technician or computer service professional. Power down the system completely and disconnect all power sources, including the battery, before removing or seating any internal storage drive. Handle the drive by its edges to avoid electrostatic discharge damage — use an ESD wrist strap and grounded work surface. Confirm the target slot supports SATA signaling over the M.2 connector, as physically identical M.2 slots may carry NVMe only.
