240 GB SATA III internal SSD

This 2.5 inch drive offers 240 GB of storage over a SATA III connection. It is suited for personal, gaming and business workloads that need solid-state speed in a standard form factor. The drive delivers sequential write performance up to 480 MB per second and read performance up to 550 MB per second.

Before ordering check compatibility

Verify that your system has a free 2.5 inch drive bay and an available SATA data and power connector. The physical dimensions are 3.9 by 0.3 by 2.7 inches and the weight is 0.13 lb, so confirm clearance in compact chassis. Ensure the operating system or BIOS can recognise a 240 GB SATA volume.

Upgrade from mechanical hard drive

Replacing a traditional hard drive with this SSD removes moving parts and raises sequential throughput to 550 MB per second read and 480 MB per second write. The jump is worthwhile when faster boot times, quicker application launches and lower latency are priorities for the workload.

Questions about this item

Does the Transcend TS240GSSD220S ship with any cables, brackets or cloning software, or is only the SSD included?

The package content lists only the SSD itself, so a SATA data cable, power cable and any 2.5" mounting bracket must be sourced separately.

The TS240GSSD220S is offered as a 240 GB model; what does that capacity mean for everyday use?

At 240 GB the drive holds the operating system, core applications and a modest game library, leaving room for updates and personal files.

The spec sheet quotes 550 megabytes per second; what does that figure deliver inside a laptop or desktop?

That sequential read speed lets the OS boot and large files load noticeably faster than a mechanical hard drive over the same SATA link.
