Crucial BX100 500GB 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD), (Refurbished Good)

Product Information:

500GB of solid state storage from Crucial, a brand of Micron, in a standard 2.5-inch SATA III form factor, made for upgrading a laptop or desktop from a slow hard drive.

Sequential reads of up to 535 MB/s and writes of up to 450 MB/s make boot-ups, application launches, and large file copies dramatically faster than a spinning hard drive.

Performance

Up to 535 MB/s sequential read and 450 MB/s sequential write over SATA 6Gb/s keep your system responsive.

Random performance of up to 90,000 read and 70,000 write IOPS keeps multitasking and small-file work quick.

Micron MLC NAND flash with a dedicated DRAM cache delivers consistent everyday performance.

Compatibility & Installation

Standard 2.5-inch SATA form factor drops into laptops, desktops, and all-in-ones with a 2.5-inch bay, or into a 3.5-inch desktop bay with a common adapter bracket.

SATA III (6Gb/s) interface delivers full speed on modern systems and stays backward compatible with older SATA II and SATA I ports.

Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux systems that accept a 2.5-inch SATA drive, making it an easy upgrade from a slower hard drive or a straightforward replacement drive.

Reliability & Data Protection

No moving parts means silent operation and far better resistance to bumps and vibration than a mechanical hard drive.

TRIM, garbage collection, and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring help maintain performance and drive health over time.

Design

Slim 7mm silver aluminum chassis fits thin-and-light laptops as well as standard drive bays.
