Intel 525 240 GB

This is a 240GB mSATA SSD on the SATA interface. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. At roughly $1.04 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Its $249.00 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
