PIODATA

PIODATA 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal SSD PIO120S325-R

SKU CH-NM1Z-YA4JZ

A 2.5 inch SATA III internal SSD with 120GB of 3D NAND storage delivering up to 530 MBps read and 450 MBps write speeds

  • Total capacity120 GB
  • Sequential read speedUp to 530 MB/s
  • Sequential write speedUp to 450 MB/s
  • Interface typeSATA III
  • Form factor2.5 in (6.35 cm)
  • Product typeInternal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Capacity 120GB

  • Up to 530 MB/s sequential read speeds
  • Up to 450 MB/s sequential write speeds
  • 3D NAND flash for high transfer performance
  • 2,000,000 hours MTBF for long-term reliability
  • Shock resistant up to 1500G for data protection

Drive purpose and audience

The PIODATA 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal SSD is built for consumer desktops and laptops that use a standard SATA connection. It serves as a direct replacement for a mechanical hard drive or a fresh boot drive for everyday workloads. The 3D NAND flash and 2,000,000 hour MTBF target users who value reliability over raw capacity.

Interface limits

The SATA III interface caps sequential throughput at 6 Gbps, so the drive’s quoted 530 MBps read and 450 MBps write speeds sit at the practical ceiling of the bus. Random I/O and sustained writes will fall below these peaks once the SLC cache is exhausted. Operating temperature is rated 0°C to 70°C and the drive survives non‑operating shocks up to 1500G.

Capacity and headroom

At 120GB the drive holds the operating system, core applications and a modest working set of documents or media. Heavy game libraries, large video projects or extensive virtual machines will exceed the available space quickly. For light office use or reviving an older system the capacity is adequate; for modern content creation it becomes a constraint.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of this PIODATA 2.5" SATA III 3D NAND SSD should I choose?

The drive is offered in a 120GB capacity; pick it if you need a compact boot drive for an older laptop or desktop.

What does the 530 MB/s read figure mean once the drive is installed in a real machine?

That is the maximum sequential read speed the controller can deliver over SATA III; typical OS boot and application loads will run at or near this rate.

What interface does this SSD use and what speed does it cap in practice?

It uses a SATA III interface, which limits real-world throughput to the drive's rated 530 MB/s read and 450 MB/s write maximums.
