Overview
This is a 500GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. 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. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts.
