Two 2.5 inch silver SSDs side by side

Gigastone Corporation

Gigastone Corporation Game Turbo 2-Pack 512GB internal SSD

SKU CH-R3KB-D15C8

Two 512 GB 2.5" SATA SSDs with 3D NAND and SLC cache deliver up to 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write for faster boot and load times

  • Total capacity512 GB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 560 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 530 MB/s
  • Interface typeSATA III
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Model 512GB (2 PACK)

  • Two drives give 1 TB total capacity for OS, games and files
  • Sequential read up to 560 MB/s cuts boot and load times
  • 3D NAND with SLC cache delivers sustained speed and 256 TB endurance
  • 5 inch 7 mm form factor fits laptops, desktops and ultra-slim notebooks
  • Shock and vibration resistance plus silent operation protect data on the move

Two-drive SATA pack for HDD replacement

This bundle contains two 2.5-inch internal solid-state drives, each rated at 512GB and built with 3D NAND flash. They connect over a SATA interface and deliver sequential reads up to 560 MBps and writes up to 530 MBps. Random 4 KB performance reaches 95000 reads and 90000 writes per drive. The pair is intended as a direct drop-in upgrade for mechanical hard disks in compatible systems.

Suits laptops and desktops with 7 mm SATA bays

The 7 mm z-height fits most notebooks, ultrabooks and desktop trays that accept standard 2.5-inch SATA storage. Devices limited to PCIe-only slots or proprietary connectors will not accept these drives. Buyers needing a single larger volume or a different physical format should consider alternative configurations.

512 GB per drive with 256 TBW endurance

Each SSD is warranted for 256 terabytes written and a 1,500,000-hour MTBF rating. This endurance figure is the key metric for judging whether the drive will meet a given workload over its service life.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a 2.5 inch 7mm drive bay to use this SSD?

Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor with a 7mm height fits standard laptop and desktop bays, including ultra-slim notebooks.

Will the SATA III 6Gb/s interface limit performance on an older motherboard with SATA II ports?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA II ports, though sequential speeds will be capped at the older interface's 3Gb/s maximum.

How can I verify the 560 MB/s read speed after installing the drive?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; the sequential read result should approach 560 MB/s on a SATA III connection.
