Intel 540s 1 TB

This is a 1000GB M.2 2280 SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.13 per gigabyte it sits in the high-end tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.

Expect to pay around $130.00, which lands it among high-end options. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores.
