High Performance
The performance of the Sandisk SDSSDA-480G-G26 480GB SATA 6Gbps TLC SSD will depend on several factors, including the workload and the system it is being used in. In general, SSDs like this one offer faster read and write speeds than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) because they have no moving parts.
In terms of specific performance specifications, Sandisk SSD 480GB SATA 6Gbps TLC SSD can achieve sequential read speeds of up to 550MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 520MB/s, which are quite fast and suitable for general use cases like booting the operating system, installing software, and storing files and documents.
However, TLC (Triple-level cell) flash memory is less durable than MLC (Multi-level cell) or SLC (single-level cell) flash memory, which means it's lifespan is not as long and it has a lower endurance rating in terms of write cycles. Also, the random read and write IOPS might be lower compared to other types of flash memory.
Compatibility and Reliability
The Sandisk SDSSDA-480G-G26 480GB SATA 6Gbps TLC SSD is compatible with most systems that have a SATA III (6 Gbps) interface. This includes desktops, laptops, servers, and other devices that use the SATA interface for data storage.
To use this SSD, your system should have a SATA III interface, which is a standard feature on most modern motherboards, you also need to check if the operating system is compatible with the drive (e.g. Windows, Linux, MacOS) and any device specific requirement that your manufacturer may have.
This SSD uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor, which is commonly used for laptop and desktop hard drives, so it should fit in most systems that use 2.5-inch drives.
As for reliability, the Sandisk SSD 480GB SATA 6Gbps TLC SSD uses TLC (Triple-level cell) NAND flash memory, which stores 3 bits per cell. TLC is known to be less durable and have a shorter lifespan compared to MLC and SLC NAND flash memory, also it is more sensitive to temperature. With that said, this SSD might not be as suitable for high workload environments as compared to enterprise-grade SSDs with higher endurance rating.
Form Factor
The Sandisk SDSSDA-480G-G26 480GB SATA 6Gbps TLC SSD uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor. This form factor is commonly used for laptop and desktop hard drives and solid-state drives (SSDs). It is physically similar in size to a typical 2.5-inch laptop hard drive and is designed to fit in the same type of drive bays used by laptop and desktop computers.
The 2.5-inch form factor is designed to be small and lightweight, making it suitable for portable devices, as well as for systems where space is at a premium. The drive can be easily installed by screwing it into place, or in some cases, it can be inserted into a drive bay with a simple sliding mechanism.
Additionally, the 2.5-inch form factor also allows the drive to run on a lower voltage , which can reduce power consumption and heat generation, making it a good choice for mobile and battery-powered devices.
