SanDisk Ultra 3D 500 GB

This is a 500GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.28 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.
