Verbatim 512GB SSD Vi560 Internal Solid State Hard Drive 3D NAND SATA III M.2 2280

It's a solid state drive - it stores and retrieves data, and does so pretty quickly. Be aware of three things: First, this is an M.2 SATA SSD, also called an NGFF SSD. NGFF stands for New Generation Form Factor. While the form factor may have been new over a decade ago when it was introduced, this SSD still uses the SATA bus, which tops out at 6Gb/sec (768MB/sec), and delivers a practical maximum of about 550MB/sec. It's no faster than a 2.5" SATA SSD, so buy whichever you can get cheaper if your motherboard's M.2 slot only supports SATA/NGFF SSDs. Second, while some M.2 slots support both SATA/NGFF and NVMe/PCI SSDs, many support just one or the other. So before buying this drive, make sure your M.2 slot supports SATA/NGFF. Third, referring back to the earlier comment about speed, if you want those super-fast SSD speeds of up to 7000MB/sec, you need an NVMe SSD, so if your M.2 slot supports NVMe, get that instead of this one.

I put this in a small enclosure to use as an external SSD for a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant. It works as advertised, and should be a much more reliable replacement instead of running off the Pi's SD card. Very happy with the purchase.

One screw to remove the bottom of the laptop and one screw to install the M.2 drive. Cloned the existing spinning hard drive and switched the boot drive in the BIOS to the SSD. The new drive became C: and the old one became D:. Been running Windows 10 for several days without issue. One thing to remember - this is a SATA III drive. My laptop is a little older and I'm sure I would have bought an NVME drive for it but I read somewhere that it needs to be SATA III. Thanks to whoever wrote that. The old drive is getting CRC errors. It still works but CRC errors are a sure sign that the drive is going to fail soon.

This new drive works fine. Only had it a short time, so can't speak to longevity which is so important. There were cheaper drives, but I did not want to risk getting low quality.

Replaced an older laptop SSD with this to add more storage. Works great!

Worked fast and added storage

Plenty of storage. I used it in an Asus Laptop model gl752vw bios v. 303 to replace old drive. No problem doing a clean install of windows 10. Had enable in bios first but its all good.

Works great in my old Acer Predator 15 9G-593

Ottimo disco. Considerando che modelli SATA M.2 stanno praticamente sparendo dal mercato, considerando che sono obsoleti, ci sono ancora molti PC portatili che li usano. Questo della Verbatim fa il suo lavoro, non costa molto ed è affidabile. Compatibile con la maggior parte dei computer portatili che hanno interfaccia m.2 SATA (porta con 2 buchi)

特に問題なく使用できています。 SATAのM.2は貴重になってきている？ですかね。 今のうちに買っておいて良かったのかもしれないです。

Très content d'avoir pu retrouver énormément de stockage à pas trop chère.

Parfais je recommande !!! sa marche bien.

Werkt perfect in combinatie met een Raspberry Pi 4B en een Argon One M.2 case
