Description

The SanDisk SSD Plus 480GB is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive with a 7mm form factor, making it compatible with most desktop and laptop computers. It connects via a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. With a formatted capacity of 480 GB, this drive is ideal for use as a primary boot drive to drastically improve system startup times and application loading, while also providing a good amount of space for software and personal files.

The drive uses SLC (single-level cell) caching to help boost burst write performance, which is a common technology in value-oriented SSDs. This feature makes it well-suited for typical PC workloads such as web browsing, email, and casual gaming. As an SSD, it has no moving parts, which makes it more durable and resistant to shock and vibration compared to an HDD. It is also more energy-efficient, quieter, and generates less heat. SanDisk provides a downloadable SSD Dashboard for monitoring the drive’s health, and cloning software to assist with easy installation and data migration. It is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.
