Game Pro 1TB SATA SSD

The Gigastone Game Pro is a 1TB internal solid state drive built on 3D NAND flash with a SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It delivers sequential read and write speeds up to 540 MB/s and sustained 4KB random performance of 95,000 read and 90,000 write IOPS. The 2.5-inch 7mm form factor fits standard laptop and desktop drive bays.

Suits HDD replacement in laptops and desktops

This drive suits users replacing a mechanical hard drive in a PC, laptop, notebook or ultrabook that accepts a 2.5-inch SATA device. It supports Windows 7, 8.1, 10, macOS 10.x and Android 4.4 with OTG. Buyers whose systems only have an M.2 PCIe slot cannot use this SATA drive.

500 TBW endurance rating

The drive is rated for 500 terabytes written and a 1.5 million hour MTBF, indicating the write endurance available for heavy workloads. This figure determines whether the SSD meets the longevity needs of a given use case.

Questions about this item

Does my system need a 2.5 inch SATA bay and a SATA data cable for this 7mm drive?

Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor at 7mm thickness requires a standard SATA III port and a matching drive bay or caddy in your laptop or desktop.

Will the SATA III 6Gb/s interface limit performance on an older motherboard that only supports SATA II 3Gb/s?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA II ports, but sequential read and write speeds will be capped at the older interface maximum of roughly half the 540 MBps rating.

How can I verify the 95000 random read and 90000 random write IOPS after installation?

Run a 4KB random read/write benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD; the results should approach the quoted 95000 read and 90000 write IOPS figures.
