480GB SATA SSD for everyday computing

This 480GB 2.5-inch SATA internal solid-state drive is built for consumer desktops and laptops that need a straightforward storage upgrade. It replaces a mechanical hard drive to speed up system start-up, web browsing and light gaming without requiring a newer motherboard interface.

Capacity and headroom

The 480GB capacity holds the operating system, core applications and a modest media library with room for daily file saves. Sequential reads reach up to 545 MBps, while SLC caching sustains write bursts for typical workloads; sustained heavy writes will eventually hit the cache limit and slow to native NAND speed.

Fit into a build

The 7mm z-height fits standard 2.5-inch drive bays in most laptops and desktops, connecting through a regular SATA data and power cable. Low idle power draw of 26mW and DEVSLP of 10mW extend battery life in portables, while 1,500G shock resistance protects data if the system is bumped or dropped.

Questions about this item

Will this 2.5 inch SATA III SSD work in a laptop that currently has a 7 mm hard drive?

Yes. The drive is 7.00 mm high, matching the common 7 mm bay, and uses the standard SATA III interface.

How can I confirm the drive is healthy and performing at up to 545 MBps after installation?

Install the free WD SSD Dashboard to monitor health, temperature and SMART attributes, and run a sequential-read benchmark to verify speeds near 545 MBps.

Does the box include a mounting bracket or cloning software, or must I buy them separately?

The drive ships alone; download the free Acronis cloning tool and WD SSD Dashboard from the manufacturer's support site, and purchase a 2.5 inch to 3.5 inch bracket if your desktop needs one.
