Description

A fast system drive that makes the PC feel snappy

For a system drive, read speed matters most: it decides how quickly Windows boots and programs open. Here it is up to 5000 MB/s, roughly nine times faster than a SATA SSD. 500 GB leaves room for documents alongside the system, office software and a couple of games, and a second drive can stay in the computer for a larger archive.

Who this internal SSD is for

People building a new PC who want a Gen4 system drive; laptop owners whose factory drive is too small or too slow; and office computers where 500 GB of fast storage is plenty.

Questions & answers

Why is the write speed lower than on the 1000 GB model?

A smaller SSD has fewer memory chips to write to in parallel, so the 500 GB model writes at up to 2600 MB/s while the 1000 GB model reaches 4500 MB/s. Both read at up to 5000 MB/s.

Will it fit my laptop?

Yes, if the laptop has an M.2 2280 slot that supports NVMe PCIe drives. A slot that only takes M.2 SATA drives will not run an NVMe drive.

Is 500 GB enough?

For Windows, office software and a few games, yes. If you plan on many large games or video editing, consider the 1000 GB model or an extra drive.
