BarraCuda Q1 480GB SATA SSD

This 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive delivers 480GB of storage using 3D QLC NAND and a SATA III interface. It is built for everyday consumer workloads such as boot drives, application storage and laptop upgrades.

Sustained sequential performance

Sequential read speeds reach up to 550 MBps and sequential write speeds up to 500 MBps. Active power draw is rated at 2W with an idle figure of 22 mW, and the drive operates reliably from 0°C to 70°C.

Compatibility checklist

Verify your system has a free 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA data and power connection. The drive is 7.10mm high and 70.10mm wide, so confirm clearance in slim laptops or small-form-factor chassis before ordering.
