480GB 9.5mm SATA III Internal 2.5" SSD

When your definition of high-performance means both speed and reliability, the Go Drive SSD series is the answer.

Engineered with industry-leading DuraClass technologies, you’ll experience read/write speeds up to and exceeding 500MB/s, up to 100x greater data reliability than a costly Enterprise class HDD, and access times up to 50x faster than a conventional HDD. It’s SATA 6G ready, but backward compatible with SATA 3G and 1.5G machines too making a Go Drive SSD the upgrade solution for everything from a desktop workhorse to the latest ultra-thin laptop.

The Go Drive is perfect for:

• Power Users
• Home Offices
• Gamers
• Digital Photographers
• Creative Professionals

DuraClass™ Technologies for world-class SSD reliability, performance, and power efficiency:

• DuraWrite™: extends the drive endurance by 20x or more compared to standard SSD controllers.
• Advanced Wear Leveling & Monitoring distributes data evenly across the entire drive.
• Advanced Read/Disturb Management safeguards against data corruption by spreading read/write cycles across the flash components.
• Intelligent garbage collection "recycling" maintains optimal write speeds by clearing blocks of unneeded data during off-peak usage times.
• RAISE™ (Redundant Array of Independent Silicon Elements) protects the data on your drive from flash block failures without typical RAID inefficiencies.
• Superior error correction (ECC) protection for longest data retention and drive life.
