Capacity 128GB

  • Faster boot and app loading with 550 MBps read speed
  • Quicker file saves at 440 MBps write speed
  • Responsive multitasking via 70,000 read IOPS and 80,000 write IOPS
  • Reliable operation with 72 TBW endurance and 1,600,000-hour MTBF
  • Low 50 mW idle power extends laptop battery life

Ideal for HDD replacement

The Intel 545s 128GB 2.5-inch SATA internal SSD is built for consumer PCs that need a direct hard-drive swap. It uses 64-layer 3D TLC NAND and delivers sequential reads up to 550 MBps and writes up to 440 MBps. Random performance reaches 70,000 read IOPS and 80,000 write IOPS.

Verify SATA power and 2.5-inch bay

Confirm your system has a free SATA III port and a 2.5-inch drive bay or adapter before ordering. The drive draws 4.5W active and 50 mW idle, so a standard SATA power connector is sufficient. Operating range is 0°C to 70°C.

Fits any SATA laptop or desktop

A 7 mm z-height lets it slide into slim notebooks and standard desktops alike. AES 256-bit self-encryption secures data without extra software. With 72 TBW endurance and 1,600,000-hour MTBF it frees you from mechanical-drive failures and noise.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel 545s 128GB drive ship with a mounting bracket or cloning software, or must I buy them separately?

The drive is supplied as a bare 2.5-inch SATA unit; no bracket, screws, cables or migration software are included, so you will need to source any required mounting hardware or cloning tools yourself.

The 545s series comes in 128GB, 256GB and 512GB — which capacity best matches my workload?

The 128GB model suits a boot drive plus essential apps; step up to 256GB or 512GB if you also store large media libraries, game installs or virtual machines on the same drive.

How do the quoted 550 MBps read and 440 MBps write speeds translate to everyday Windows boot and file-copy times?

On a typical SATA III platform the drive cuts cold-boot time roughly in half versus a mechanical disk and sustains large-file copies near the rated 440 MBps, while small-file responsiveness is backed by 70,000 read and 80,000 write IOPS.
