Description
Dell FWJTG 256GB NVMe M.2 2230 SSD
The FWJTG is Dell's 256GB M.2 2230 drive, running NVMe over PCI Express with triple-level cell flash. The 2230 part is what sets it apart from most of the market. That's a board 22mm wide and 30mm long, about the size of a postage stamp and roughly a quarter the length of the 2280 sticks desktops take. Slim machines use this size because nothing longer will physically fit inside them.
Key Features
- 256GB of capacity on a single M.2 2230 board
- 22mm by 30mm, the shortest of the common M.2 lengths
- PCI Express NVMe interface
- Triple-level cell flash, with three bits held in each memory cell
- Dell part number FWJTG
- Internal drive, nothing to assemble, and listed as eco-friendly
Performance and Applications
Ultrabooks and 2-in-1 tablets run out of physical space long before anything else gives out. There's no 2.5-inch bay, no room for an 80mm stick, and in some models only one mounting point on the entire board. A 2230 drive is what fits. 256GB covers the operating system and everyday software, which lines up with how these machines actually get used, with documents and media living in cloud storage or on a network share.
Compatibility and Installation
Measure the slot before ordering, because a 2280 board won't shorten and a 2230 board needs its standoff sitting at the 30mm mark. Dell part numbers also turn up with and without a leading zero, so FWJTG and 0FWJTG point at the same component. Match whichever code your service manual prints.
Dell FWJTG 256GB SSD for Ultrabooks and 2-in-1 Devices
For a slim Dell laptop or tablet whose M.2 slot stops at 30mm, this is the drive built to that measurement. 256GB of NVMe storage on the smallest board the standard allows.
