Intel Pro 2500 240 GB

A 240GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.78 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.

Its $187.51 price tag places it squarely in high-end territory. Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to keep a running tally of the cost.
