SSD disk SanDisk 1 TB 2,5" SATA III model PC SA530

The SanDisk PC SA530 1 TB 2.5" SATA III SSD combines Western Digital 96-layer 3D NAND and a proven SSD platform to deliver high capacity, solid performance and improved endurance for PCs and laptops. Available in a 2.5" form factor with up to 1 TB capacity and a 6 Gbit/s SATA interface, this drive is intended for everyday computing, storage of applications, games and user files while consuming less power than previous SATA generations.

Advantages

The drive uses nCache™ 2.0 tiered caching that leverages SLC and TLC flash blocks to reduce write amplification, improve responsiveness and raise efficiency. Built with 96-layer 3D NAND, the SSD offers higher endurance and sustained performance versus older NAND designs. Select SED models include on-the-fly hardware encryption with AES-256 and support for TCG OPAL 2.01 and PSID for secure password protection.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptops and desktop PCs from HDD to SSD
