240GB SATA Internal SSD

The Dogfish Technology Shark SSD 2.5 240G is a 240GB internal solid-state drive built with 3D NAND flash memory and a SATA III interface. It uses an SMI controller to deliver sequential read speeds up to 550 MBps and write speeds up to 400 MBps. The drive is designed for consumer desktop and laptop upgrades.

2.5-inch 7mm Installation

The drive follows the standard 2.5-inch form factor with a 7mm height, fitting most laptop bays and desktop drive cages. Installation requires only a SATA data cable and a SATA power connection. Common issues include loose cables, BIOS not detecting the drive until AHCI is enabled, and the need to initialise the volume in the operating system before use.

SATA III Performance Limits

The SATA III interface caps maximum throughput at 6Gb/s, so the drive cannot exceed its rated 550 MBps read and 400 MBps write speeds. Real-world performance depends on the host controller, cable quality and system workload. The drive supports DevSleep, TRIM, NCQ and S.M.A.R.T. to maintain consistent operation within these interface constraints.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the drive is delivering its rated 550 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a SATA benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD; sequential results should approach 550 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write, and the drive should appear as a SATA III device in the OS.

What comes in the package and are any cables or brackets required separately?

The box contains the 2.5 inch 7 mm SSD only; a SATA data cable, a SATA power connector and, for desktops, a 3.5 inch mounting bracket must be sourced separately.

This model is only offered in 240 GB — how do I decide if that capacity fits my needs?

240 GB suits an OS drive plus core applications; if you store large media libraries or many games, consider a higher-capacity SATA SSD from another SKU.
