Can't find out what the difference between:

Intel SSDPEKKW256G801

and

Intel SSDPEKKW256G8XT

both 256 GB, called 760p, seems the same M-keys and parameters but different?

Please help me.

Thank you.

Hi AAvet,

Thank you for posting in the Intel® communities.

Both models: SSDPEKKW256G801 and SSDPEKKW256G8XT, are exactly the same one: same performance, same capacity, same interface, etc. The difference is the package used to ship them.

The one that ends with 01 refers to a single generic package and the one that ends with XT refers to a retail box of 10 units. You can find this information in the following site: https://ark.intel.com/products/134583/Intel-SSD-760p-Series-256GB-M-2-80mm-PCIe-3-0-x4-3D2-TLC-?q=SS...

Go to section “Ordering and Compliance” to check the two versions.

Regarding to the PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 3.1 interfaces, both should work on PCIe 3.0 slots because they are still the same PCIe generation. So you can use this drive in PCIe 3.0 slots and you shouldn’t have any issues. However, if you still have doubts about it, you can contact ASUS* directly just to confirm if the drive (or any other device) is compatible with your laptop model.

I hope this information clarified your concern.

If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.

Have a nice day.

Regards,

Looks that both versions have similar performance however the SSDPEKKW256G801 has PCIe 3.0 x4 Interface, while the SSDPEKKW256G8XT is an newer version with PCIe NVMe 3.1 x4 Interface

Please see the specification of both versions: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1392308-REG/intel_ssdpekkw256g801_256_gb_ssd_pci.html

and https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1392613-REG/intel_ssdpekkw256g8xt_256_gb_ssd.html

So, will both of them suit my Asus GL553V laptop if it supports PCIe Gen3 x4 ? (like I understood - yes, but better to ask you know..)

@AAvet

I suggest that you better ask this question Asus. Reading the specification of GL553V to me appears that the M.2 socket support SATA III standard and the PCIe 3.0 x4 is not mentioned there. So, I'm not sure about compatibility of this Intel's SSD.

Here was WD Black PCIe Gen3x4 NVME SSD installed before, so the question may be about compatibility of the generations...
