BIWIN 256GB MLC SATA SSD

This 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive uses MLC flash and a SATA III interface to deliver 561MB/s read and 452MB/s write speeds. It targets everyday computing workloads such as operating-system boots, application launches and general file storage. The 7mm height fits standard laptop and desktop drive bays.

256GB capacity and MLC endurance

At 256GB the drive holds a mainstream operating system, core applications and a working set of documents with room for updates. MLC memory provides higher write endurance than entry-level alternatives, while BCH ECC 66 bits/1KB protects data integrity. Active power draw reaches 2.94W and idle drops to 0.25W.

SATA III 6Gb/s interface limits

The SATA III link caps sequential throughput at the stated 561MB/s read and 452MB/s write, so heavier workloads such as sustained 4K video editing or large database writes will saturate the bus. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 70°C and shock tolerance is rated at 50G for 11ms half-sine events.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" 7mm SATA III drive fit and run alongside my older 3Gb/s SATA motherboard?

The drive is SATA 6Gb/s and backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s, so it will work on your older board at the slower link speed.

How can I verify the 561MB/s read and 452MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; the drive should report speeds near 561MB/s read and 452MB/s write on a SATA 6Gb/s port.

Does the 256GB MLC SSD ship with a mounting bracket, screws or cloning software?

The package contains only the 2.5" 7mm drive; brackets, screws and software must be purchased separately.
