GUDGA M.2 2280 512GB SATA internal SSD

GUDGA 512 GB SATA M.2 2280 SSD

This 512 GB internal solid-state drive uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. It fits laptops and desktops that accept M.2 SATA modules. The drive delivers sequential reads up to 550 MB/s and writes up to 520 MB/s. Random performance reaches 90K IOPS read and 80K IOPS write.

Capacity and headroom for everyday workloads

With 512 GB of labelled capacity the drive provides roughly 476 GB of usable space after binary conversion. Sustained sequential speeds of 530 MB/s read and 480 MB/s write handle operating-system boot, application loading and large file copies comfortably. The SATA interface caps throughput at 6 Gb/s, so heavier multi-tasking or professional video editing will saturate the link before the controller does.

Upgrade path from hard drives or smaller SATA SSDs

Replacing a mechanical 2.5-inch hard drive with this SSD cuts access time to 0.07 ms and removes all moving parts. Moving up from a 128 GB or 256 GB SATA SSD doubles or quadruples available space while keeping the same M.2 2280 slot and 5 V power requirement. The jump is worth it when the current drive is full or when a system still boots from a spinning disk.
