If your machine still boots off a spinning disk, this is the single upgrade that changes how it feels to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear about what it is, though. SATA is capped at around 550 MB\/s by the interface itself, so this is the \"rescue an older system or add bulk storage\" part, not a performance step up from a drive you already run on NVMe. At 1TB it is the sensible size for an all-in-one drive: operating system, applications and a real game library on one disk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.5\" SATA III:\u003c\/strong\u003e up to 560 MB\/s read and 500 MB\/s write — effectively the ceiling of the SATA interface, and several times what a mechanical drive manages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrop-in replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e the standard 2.5\" bay size, so it fits the drive bay of most desktops and laptops that take a 2.5\" disk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D NAND flash:\u003c\/strong\u003e higher storage density with stable long-term behaviour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e480TB write endurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated at 480 TBW with an MTBF of 2 million hours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo moving parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e a vibration-resistant chip-based structure, which matters in a laptop or anything that gets carried around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuns cool and light:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2W maximum power draw and a weight of 36.8g or less — kind to laptop battery life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTRIM supported:\u003c\/strong\u003e the drive keeps its own free space tidy so write speed holds up over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1TB (1024GB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.5 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSATA III 6Gb\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 560 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 500 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRandom 4K read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 65K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRandom 4K write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 75K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEndurance (TBW)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e480TB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMTBF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2,000,000 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage medium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3D NAND\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum power consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.2W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTRIM support\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0°C to 70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStorage temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-40°C to 85°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.8g or less\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Year (36 months)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Hiksemi City Series E100 1TB 2.5\" SATA III SSD (black)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by a 3 year warranty.
