Western Digital WDS100T5G0A Green SATA 1TB 2.5" 7mm internal SSD

WD Green SATA 1 TB internal SSD

The Western Digital WDS100T5G0A is a 1 TB SATA solid-state drive in a 2.5-inch, 7 mm form factor designed for laptops and desktops. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 545 MB/s and uses solid-state technology for shock resistance against bumps and drops. The drive includes access to SanDisk Dashboard for monitoring and Acronis True Image for data migration.

Suits SATA 2.5-inch bays not M.2 2280 slots

This drive fits systems with a standard 2.5-inch SATA bay and 7 mm clearance, making it a direct replacement for mechanical hard drives in many laptops and desktops. Builders whose chassis only accepts M.2 2280 modules or who require a PCIe interface should look at a different form factor. The SATA connection limits throughput to the figures stated.

SATA interface with 545 MB/s sequential read

The single specification that decides compatibility is the SATA interface combined with the quoted 545 MB/s maximum sequential read speed. If the host system provides a SATA port and the physical 2.5-inch 7 mm slot, the drive will operate at its rated performance. Any platform lacking a SATA connection cannot use this SSD.
