SanDisk SSD Plus 480GB 2.5" 535 MB/s SATA III Internal SSD

The SanDisk SDSSDA-480G-G26 is a 480 GB solid state drive that installs in a 2.5-inch, 7 mm bay and connects through a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 535 MB/s and write speeds up to 445 MB/s, giving desktops and notebooks noticeably faster start-up, file transfers, and application launches compared with a traditional hard drive.

Because the drive has no moving parts, it runs silently, tolerates shocks up to 1500 G, and operates in temperatures from 0 °C to 70 °C. These traits make it a practical upgrade for a travel laptop that experiences bumps in transit or for a small form-factor desktop with limited cooling.

SLC caching is built in, so short, intensive bursts such as copying large media projects or installing software complete more quickly. SanDisk includes its SSD Dashboard, a utility that lets you check drive health, monitor S.M.A.R.T. data, and apply firmware updates, all from a single interface.

The modest power draw helps extend battery life in portable systems, while the 480 GB capacity offers ample room for an operating system, productivity apps, and a sizeable media library or game catalog. Whether you are breathing new life into an older computer, building a cost-effective workstation, or simply seeking a reliable secondary drive, this model fits smoothly into most configurations that accept a standard SATA drive.
