Centon Dash 500GB SATA SSD

This 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive offers 500GB of storage for desktops or laptops with a SATA III connection. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 1100MB/s and write speeds up to 1000MB/s for faster boot times and application loading. The drive suits users upgrading older systems or adding secondary storage.

Upgrading from a mechanical hard drive

Replacing a traditional hard disk with this SSD removes moving parts and significantly reduces data access latency. The jump is worth it when the existing drive is a bottleneck for system responsiveness or file transfers. The SATA interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of older and current motherboards.

Fits a standard 2.5 inch drive bay

Installation requires a 2.5 inch mounting location and a SATA data and power cable from the host system. No additional drivers are needed for Windows or macOS recognition. The drive frees up an external port by serving as internal storage instead of the portable configuration it is also sold in.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5" Centon Dash SSD fit a standard 7 mm laptop bay?

The 2.5" form factor matches the common 7 mm height used in most laptops and drive caddies.

What is the correct way to connect the SATA III drive and the USB 3.2 adapter?

Attach the SATA data and power cables to the drive first, then plug the USB 3.2 adapter into the host; reversing the order can prevent detection.

When should the USB Type-C and Type-A connector be replaced?

Replace the connector if the USB 3.2 link drops below the 1100 MB/s read or 1000 MB/s write rates, signalling worn contacts.
