Used Intel SSDPEMKF256G8 256GB NVMe drive in the common M.2 2280 format, aimed at older laptops and desktops with an NVMe slot and competing with entry-level WD Blue / Crucial P-series style drives. As it’s used, expect some prior wear; “used, fully tested” typically means it’s been checked to function correctly, while cosmetic marks on the label or casing can vary. The listing’s “health is good” note is reassuring, but it’s still a smaller-capacity drive best suited to OS and core apps rather than a big game library.

Who does a 256GB used NVMe SSD make sense for?

Best for speeding up a sluggish PC, replacing a failing boot drive, or adding a fast scratch disk. PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 NVMe offers much lower latency than SATA SSDs, so Windows updates, app launches and file searches tend to feel snappier—provided your system supports NVMe booting.

  • M.2 2280 — fits most modern motherboards and many laptops (check for an NVMe-capable slot)
  • PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 (NVMe) — faster response than SATA, especially for lots of small files
  • 256GB — fine for a boot drive; tight for large games and media
