GIONEDA

GIONEDA mSATA 256GB internal SSD

SKU CH-5P6P-S0YSM

An mSATA internal SSD with 3D NAND delivering sequential reads up to 560 MB/s and writes up to 500 MB/s for faster boots and file loads

  • Form factormSATA
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • NAND flash type3D NAND

Style 256GB

Capacity 256GB

  • Fast boot and load times with sequential reads up to 550 MB/s
  • Responsive file writes at sequential speeds up to 500 MB/s
  • Data integrity through bad-block management, TRIM, garbage collection and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring
  • Proven reliability with 1.75M hours MTTF and original flash chips
  • Cool, silent operation in a compact 30 × 50 × 3.5 mm mSATA form factor

Capacity and fit

The GIONEDA mSATA 256GB drive uses the mSATA form factor measuring 50mm by 30mm by 3.5mm. It fits laptops and desktops that provide an mSATA slot and connects over a SATA 6 Gb/s link.

Build and daily use

3D NAND flash and a controller with bad-block management, TRIM and garbage collection keep performance steady. No moving parts mean silent operation, low heat and 35x better energy efficiency than a mechanical drive.

Upgrade path

Replacing a 2.5-inch hard drive with this SSD yields up to 550MB/s sequential read and 500MB/s sequential write. The 1.75M-hour MTTF rating and three-year warranty back the switch for older systems needing faster boot and load times.

Questions about this item

What SATA revision does the GIONEDA mSATA 256GB use and what real-world throughput does it cap at?

The drive runs on SATA 6 Gb/s, so sequential reads top out around 550 MB/s and writes around 500 MB/s in typical use.

What are the exact dimensions I need to clear in my laptop or desktop slot?

The board measures 50 mm × 30 mm × 3.5 mm, the standard mSATA footprint.

How do I install it and which step do people most often miss?

Insert the drive at an angle into the mSATA slot, press it flat, and secure it with the single retention screw; the step most often missed is fastening that screw, leaving the drive unseated.
