WESTERN DIGITAL Green 240GB 2.5 SATA SATA 3 Solid State Drive (SSD)

The Western Digital Green 240GB 2.5-inch SATA III Solid State Drive (model WDS240G2G0A) is a dependable, energy-efficient storage upgrade designed for everyday laptop and desktop computing. Built on a solid-state architecture with no moving parts, it offers a meaningful performance improvement over traditional spinning hard drives — delivering sequential read speeds of up to 540 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 465 MB/s over the SATA III 6 Gb/s interface. SLC caching technology accelerates write performance for common tasks such as web browsing, application launches, and casual gaming. Because there are no mechanical components, the drive is inherently resistant to the shocks and vibrations associated with everyday use, with a rated shock tolerance of 1,500 G at 0.5 ms half sine and operating vibration tolerance of 5.0 gRMS across 10–2000 Hz. Power consumption is a standout attribute of this drive. Average active power sits at just 50 mW, with DEVSLP idle power dropping to as low as 3 mW — figures that make it well-suited for battery-powered laptops where runtime matters. The drive operates across a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and is rated for up to 1.75 million hours MTTF, reflecting solid long-term reliability for a value-oriented SSD. Endurance is rated at 80 TBW, appropriate for light to moderate everyday workloads. The 2.5-inch, 7 mm form factor fits the majority of laptops and desktop bays, and the drive ships with compatibility for WD's free SSD Dashboard utility — a Windows application for monitoring drive health, checking S.M.A.R.T. attributes, and tracking available capacity. The WDS240G2G0A carries certifications including FCC, UL, TUV, KC, BSMI, and VCCI, and is backed by a 3-year limited warranty from Western Digital.
