It is enough for Windows and everyday applications, and it is the cheapest way to stop a mechanical hard drive from holding a machine back. SATA is capped near 550 MB\/s by the interface itself, so think of this as a responsiveness and reliability upgrade, not a performance win over an NVMe drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5-inch SATA III drive, backwards compatible with SATA II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequential speeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 530 MB\/s read and 400 MB\/s write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRandom performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 45K IOPS 4K aligned random read and 75K IOPS 4K aligned random write\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEndurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 80TB written (TBW) with a 1,500,000 hour MTBF rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3D NAND:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D NAND flash and BGA components on an automated production line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-shock construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e No moving parts, so it shrugs off the knocks and drops that kill a spinning disk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTested to surveillance server standards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Validated against video surveillance server testing standards for stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\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\u003e256GB (formats to roughly 238GB usable)\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 (backwards compatible with SATA II)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential read (CDM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 530 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSequential write (CDM)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 400 MB\/s\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4K aligned random read\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 45K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4K aligned random write\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 75K IOPS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEndurance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 80TB TBW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMTBF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,500,000 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\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 6.9 x 0.7 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHiksemi Wave(S) 2.5\" 256GB SATA III Solid State Drive (Green) x1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by a 3 year warranty.
