480GB SATA 730 Series SSD

The Intel 730 Series SSDSC2BP480G410 is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive built for consumer workloads. It delivers 480GB of MLC flash storage over a SATA 6Gbps interface. The drive targets enthusiasts who want data-center-grade endurance in a standard laptop or desktop bay.

Simple 2.5-inch SATA installation

The drive fits any 7.00mm 2.5-inch bay and connects with standard SATA data and power cables. No extra brackets or adapters are required for most chassis. Alignment errors are the only common issue when the connector is not fully seated.

Consistent speeds under sustained load

Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 470 MBps, while random 4KB performance hits 89,000 IOPS read and 74,000 IOPS write. Latency stays at 50us read and 60us write. The 2,000,000-hour MTBF and 70GB daily write rating show the drive maintains throughput during long sessions.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5" drive fit in my laptop's 7mm drive bay?

The drive is exactly 7.00mm thick, matching the standard 7mm bay used in most modern laptops and ultrabooks.

Does the SATA 6Gbps interface work with an older SATA 3Gbps motherboard port?

Yes, SATA 6Gbps is fully backward compatible; the drive will operate at the slower 3Gbps speed on older ports.

How much daily writing can the MLC NAND handle over the warranty period?

The drive is rated for up to 70GB of writes per day, far above the typical 20GB industry figure.
