This particular model is designed for use in desktop computers, laptops, and other devices that support the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface.
In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of the WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND SSD, as well as its benefits and drawbacks. We will also provide some context about the various terms and acronyms used in the description of this product.
Features and Specifications
Capacity and Form Factor
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND has a storage capacity of 500GB, which is enough space to store a large number of files, documents, photos, and videos. The drive has a 2.5-inch form factor, which makes it compatible with most laptops and desktop computers.
Interface
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND uses the Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) interface, which is a popular standard for connecting storage devices to computers. SATA provides high-speed data transfer rates of up to 6 Gigabytes per second (Gbps), which allows the drive to quickly read and write data.
Memory Type
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND uses Triple Level Cell (TLC) memory, which is a type of NAND flash memory that allows multiple bits of data to be stored in each memory cell. This enables the drive to store more data in a smaller space, which is important for mobile devices with limited storage capacity.
Performance
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND is designed for high-performance computing tasks, such as gaming, video editing, and data processing. It has a sequential read speed of up to 560 megabytes per second (MB/s) and a sequential write speed of up to 530 MB/s. This means that the drive can quickly transfer large files and data sets.
Reliability and Durability
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND is a reliable and durable storage device. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1.75 million hours, which means that it is expected to last for a long time without experiencing any major issues. It also has a shock resistance of up to 1500G, which means that it can withstand physical shocks and impacts without losing data.
Technology
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND uses 3D NAND technology, which is a type of flash memory that stacks memory cells vertically to increase storage density. This allows the drive to store more data in a smaller space, which is important for mobile devices with limited storage capacity. 3D NAND also provides faster read and write speeds than traditional NAND flash memory.
Benefits
Fast Data Transfer Rates
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND has a fast data transfer rate of up to 6Gbps, which allows it to quickly transfer large files and data sets. This is important for high-performance computing tasks, such as gaming, video editing, and data processing.
Large Storage Capacity
The WDS500G2B0A Blue 3D NAND has a storage capacity of 500GB, which is enough space to store a large number of files, documents, photos, and videos. This is important for users who need to store a lot of data on their computers.
