What this 240 GB SATA SSD is for

This internal solid-state drive fits 2.5-inch bays in laptops and desktops. It targets users who want faster boot times and snappier application loading without moving to a newer interface. The 3D NAND memory provides 240 GB of capacity for operating systems, programs and everyday files.

How 3D NAND changes daily use

The 3D NAND flash enables sequential reads up to 530 MBps and writes up to 450 MBps over the SATA III link. That speed is roughly 10 times faster than a 7200 RPM hard drive, so the system feels more responsive from the moment it powers on. The drive also resists shock up to 1500 G when not operating, protecting data if the device is dropped.

Where the 240 GB capacity fits

At 240 GB the drive comfortably holds a modern operating system, core productivity apps and a working set of documents or media. Heavy game libraries, large video projects or extensive photo archives will exceed the available space and require a secondary drive. The rated MTBF of 2,000,000 hours and an operating range of 0 °C to 70 °C give long-term headroom for typical consumer workloads.

Questions about this item

How often will the 3D NAND cells need replacing under normal use?

The drive is rated for 2,000,000 hours MTBF, so the 3D NAND should not require replacement during typical consumer workloads.

What limits sustained write performance on the SATA III interface?

Sequential write speed caps at 450 MBps, and the SATA III bus itself becomes the bottleneck once that ceiling is reached.

How much heat and noise does the 2.5 inch drive produce during all-day operation?

With no moving parts it runs silently, and the 0°C to 70°C operating range means it stays cool enough for continuous use without active cooling.
