A 500 GB 2.5-inch SATA SSD built with 3D NAND for reliable storage upgrades in laptops and desktops. Rated for 200 TBW with a five-year warranty.
The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch, 7 mm black enclosure measuring 100.2 x 69.9 x 7 mm. It weighs very little and has no moving parts, making it resistant to shock and vibration in mobile systems.
Sequential throughput reaches 560 MB/s read and 510 MB/s write at the SATA 6 Gb/s limit. Random 4K performance hits 90,000 read IOPS and 82,000 write IOPS. An SLC cache absorbs burst workloads for consistent responsiveness.
Endurance is rated at 200 terabytes written with a mean time between failures of 2.25 million hours. The controller manages wear leveling and error correction across the 3D NAND array. Western Digital backs the drive with a five-year limited warranty.
The SATA III interface works with any 2.5-inch bay or adapter in laptops, desktops, and external enclosures. The package includes the SSD only; cables, brackets, and cloning software are not provided.
