SK hynix Gold S31 500GB 2.5" SATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD),(Refurbished Good)

Product Information:

SK hynix, one of the world's largest memory makers, delivers 500GB of fast storage in a standard 2.5-inch SATA III form factor with the Gold S31.

Sequential reads of up to 560 MB/s and writes of up to 525 MB/s reach the practical limit of the SATA interface, making boot-ups, app launches, and large file copies dramatically faster than a spinning hard drive.

Performance

Up to 560 MB/s sequential read and 525 MB/s sequential write over SATA 6Gb/s for consistently fast everyday performance.

SK hynix-designed controller paired with in-house 72-layer 3D TLC NAND delivers steady speeds during multitasking, gaming, and large transfers.

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.

Rated MTBF of 1.5 million hours reflects a design built for dependable everyday use.

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

Design

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