The VisionTek DLX4 is a 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD for PCIe 4.0 x4 systems, with sequential speeds up to 5,200 MB/s read and 4,370 MB/s write. It suits PC builders and users upgrading compatible desktops or laptops for fast everyday storage and file transfers.
Recommended For
- Desktop or laptop owners adding storage to a compatible M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slot for their operating system, applications, and games.
- PC gamers who want a PCIe Gen4 drive for game and application storage, and whose system supports an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD.
- Laptop upgraders replacing a smaller NVMe drive with 1TB of storage; one ThinkPad owner reported fitting a DLX4 in their laptop and using it for work.
- Users who want AES-256-compliant drive encryption support and have a compatible system and software setup.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a compatible PC’s M.2 2280 slot is running out of space, use the DLX4 as an internal upgrade for Windows, applications, and everyday files; the 1TB capacity adds room without relying on an external drive.
- For a PC game library, install games on the DLX4 to get SSD-based loading compared with a mechanical hard drive; if you are upgrading from another SSD, game load times may change only modestly.
- When moving large project files or media between fast storage devices, the DLX4 can serve as a high-speed working drive; actual transfer times also depend on the other drive, connection, and workload.
- For a desktop, laptop, or workstation with a compatible M.2 2280 NVMe slot, use the DLX4 as a boot and application drive; it provides responsive solid-state storage, though replacing an existing SSD may not produce a dramatic everyday difference.
- For work files kept on the PC, use the DLX4’s AES-256-compliant data encryption with compatible system or drive-security software configured; the encryption specification alone does not mean file protection is automatically enabled.

Reference Q&A
Q: VisionTek DLX4 1TB or Samsung 990 PRO 1TB—which should I buy?
A: Choose the VisionTek DLX4 if its advertised speeds of up to 5,200 MB/s read and 4,370 MB/s write meet your needs. Choose the Samsung 990 PRO if you want higher advertised sequential speeds—up to 7,450/6,900 MB/s—and its 1GB DRAM cache. Both are M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 drives with AES 256-bit encryption; actual performance depends on the system and workload.
Q: Is the VisionTek DLX4 worth choosing over the DLX3?
A: Choose the DLX4 for a PCIe 4.0 system when its higher advertised sequential speeds—up to 5,200/4,370 MB/s versus the DLX3’s 3,300/2,900 MB/s—are useful to your workload. The DLX3 may be a suitable fit when its listed speeds are sufficient or you are prioritizing a PCIe 3.0 drive. Check your system’s supported interface and current prices before deciding.
Q: Should I get the VisionTek DLX4 or spend more on the DLX4 Pro?
A: The standard DLX4 is a sensible choice if its advertised 5,200 MB/s read and 4,370 MB/s write speeds meet your needs. Consider the DLX4 Pro when you need its higher advertised sequential speeds and onboard DRAM cache. The available review compares the Pro with a different SSD, not the standard DLX4, so it does not establish a direct real-world performance advantage between these two models.
Q: Will this VisionTek DLX4 fit a Steam Deck or another device that needs an M.2 2230 SSD?
A: Do not assume it will fit. The provided Newegg title and specifications identify this 1TB model as M.2 2280, while the listing bullet mentions M.2 2230. VisionTek sells DLX4 drives in separate 2230 and 2280 form factors. Confirm the exact model number and required SSD length for your device before buying; a 2280 drive is longer than a 2230 slot.
Q: Will this SSD fit my laptop or desktop?
A: It is an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 drive, so the computer must support that form factor and interface. The provided product data is inconsistent: the title and specifications say 2280, but one bullet says 2230. Confirm the drive size against VisionTek’s documentation and your computer’s manual before buying. A compatible PCIe slot may also run it at a lower speed than PCIe 4.0.
Q: Does this SSD include a heatsink?
A: No. The product specifications say it does not include a heatsink. Check whether your computer provides an M.2 heatsink or other cooling, particularly if the drive will be used under sustained heavy workloads.
Q: Can I use this SSD in an external M.2 enclosure?
A: It is an internal M.2 NVMe drive and may be used in an enclosure that explicitly supports M.2 NVMe drives and the drive’s form factor. External transfer speeds will depend on the enclosure, its interface, and the connected computer; the SSD’s listed PCIe speeds may not be achievable over USB.
Q: Is this SSD suitable for gaming and everyday work?
A: It can suit a compatible computer used for everyday work, applications, and games. It has 1 TB of capacity and lists sequential speeds of up to 5,200 MB/s read and 4,370 MB/s write. Actual performance depends on the computer, workload, cooling, and available storage space.
Q: Will this DLX4 fit in my PC or handheld?
A: Check the device’s supported M.2 length before buying. The specifications say M.2 2280, but the supplied bullet description says M.2 2230, so confirm the exact SKU and dimensions with the seller. Reddit discussions about other DLX4 versions also raise fit concerns in handhelds; those reports do not confirm fit for this 1TB listing.
Q: Does the VisionTek DLX4 run hot under load?
A: Some Reddit users report elevated temperatures with DLX4 drives during gaming or sustained activity, while others report no issues. Those accounts concern other DLX4 capacities and form factors, so they do not establish the temperature behavior of this 1TB 2280 model. It has no included heatsink; cooling depends on the system and its airflow or M.2 thermal solution.
Q: Is the DLX4 a stable replacement drive?
A: Reddit reports are mixed: some owners describe their DLX4 as stable or trouble-free, while others report heat or drive problems in particular systems. These are user reports about different DLX4 versions, not controlled reliability data for this 1TB model. Its listed endurance rating is 500 TBW.
