- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 480 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 500 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 450 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Fast SSD drive, Good buy
Bought this for as a spare SSD drive for my Atomos Ninja Inferno for video recording in ProRes 422 codec. I was a little worried it wouldn't be supported by the Atomos but it works great and really fast as other more expensive SSDs.

Great value. Significant improvement to computer!
This SSD made my 5 year old computer faster than my friend's 1 year old computer that still has a regular hard drive. No issues with windows 10. I like that it comes with software that can monitor its health, etc. I previously purchased a 240 GB SSD by Kingston and it's just as good.

This is a good quality drive. It was easy to upgrade the old hard drive using Windows back up and restore to the SSD. The drive has been working flawlessly and everything runs so much faster. It is well worth the cost of the drive.
