960 GB 3.5" SATA internal SSD

This 960 GB solid-state drive fits a standard 3.5-inch bay and connects through a SATA III interface. It is built for desktop PCs and servers that still use the legacy SATA form factor. The drive supports hot-swappable operation and meets RoHS environmental standards. It carries a five-year limited warranty.

SATA 600 interface limits

The SATA 600 standard caps sequential throughput at 600 MB/s, so the drive's peak read of 520 MB/s and write of 485 MB/s sit near that ceiling. Real-world speeds will vary with the host controller, cable quality and system workload. The interface also determines the maximum queue depth and command set available to the drive. Buyers needing higher bandwidth should consider a different interface.

256-bit encryption

Hardware-based 256-bit encryption secures data at rest without host software overhead. This feature matters for deployments that must meet data-protection policies or regulatory requirements. If encryption is not required, the same capacity and speed are available without it. The drive includes no other security certifications.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 960 GB capacity for my storage upgrade?

The 960 GB capacity provides substantial space for operating systems, applications, and large media libraries, making it suitable for both primary and secondary storage roles in compatible systems.

What does the 520 MB/s maximum read speed mean for everyday performance?

The 520 MB/s maximum read transfer rate allows fast boot times, quick application launches, and responsive file access when the drive operates on a SATA 600 interface.

How does the SATA 600 interface affect the drive's real-world speed?

The SATA 600 interface caps the maximum theoretical bandwidth at 600 MB/s, so the drive's rated 520 MB/s read and 485 MB/s write speeds operate near the interface limit.
