Timetec 256GB 2.5" SATA SSD

This Timetec solid-state drive adds 256GB of storage to desktops and laptops that accept a 2.5-inch 7mm SATA device. It uses 3D NAND flash with an SLC cache to accelerate everyday workloads. The drive is compatible with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS 10.4 or later, and Linux 2.6.33 or later. It works in systems limited to SATA II or SATA I as well.

SATA III 6Gb/s interface

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA III 6Gb/s interface, which also runs on older SATA II 3Gb/s and SATA I 1.5Gb/s ports. Sequential read reaches up to 550 MBps and sequential write up to 500 MBps on this 256GB model. No other connector or protocol is supported.

Thermals noise and power

With no moving parts the drive runs silently and draws little power during normal use. The manufacturer quotes an MTTF of 1,500,000 hours and an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, indicating extended reliability. Support for TRIM, garbage collection, wear-levelling and ECC helps maintain consistent performance over time.

Questions about this item

What does the 550 MB/s read figure mean once the drive is installed?

It indicates the peak sequential read speed the SATA III interface can deliver under ideal conditions; real-world boot and app load times will be lower but still noticeably faster than a mechanical drive.

How does the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface limit performance in practice?

The 6 Gb/s link caps sequential throughput around 550 MB/s read and 500 MB/s write, so the drive cannot exceed those ceiling figures even if the NAND is capable of more.

Will the 2.5 inch 7 mm form factor fit my laptop or desktop bay?

Yes, the 7 mm height matches the standard 2.5 inch drive bay used in most laptops and desktops; no bracket or adapter is included in the package.
