Overview
This is a 240GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. At roughly $1.52 per gigabyte it sits in the premium tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Expect to pay around $365.00, which lands it among premium options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores. Support and warranty service run through Intel, with terms that vary by region.
