ADATA Ultimate SU650 256GB M.2 Sata Solid State Drive ( SSD )

The ADATA Ultimate SU650 256GB M.2 2280 SATA Solid State Drive is a compact, reliable upgrade for desktops and notebooks that use the M.2 form factor with a SATA interface. Built on 3D NAND Flash technology, the SU650 delivers improved efficiency and enhanced data integrity compared to planar 2D NAND designs, while offering a 256GB capacity that comfortably handles operating systems, productivity applications, and everyday file storage. At the heart of the SU650's performance is an intelligent SLC caching algorithm that temporarily allows NAND cells to operate in single-level cell mode, helping sustain peak sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s over the SATA 6Gb/s interface. This translates to noticeably faster boot times, quicker application launches, and smoother large-file transfers compared to traditional hard drives. Data integrity is reinforced by LDPC (Low Density Parity Check Code) ECC technology, which proactively detects and corrects errors to protect your files and extend drive longevity. The SU650 M.2 2280 carries a rated MTBF of 2,000,000 hours and a shock resistance specification of 1500G/0.5ms, making it a dependable choice for everyday computing. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, with a storage temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Installation is straightforward: the standard M.2 2280 (80 × 22 × 3.5 mm) footprint fits the vast majority of modern motherboard M.2 SATA slots, and the drive weighs just 7 g, adding negligible load to thin-and-light notebooks. ADATA's SSD Toolbox software (available as a download with purchase) lets you monitor drive health, wear level, and estimated lifespan, while the Migration Utility simplifies moving an existing Windows installation or data from a mechanical hard drive to the SU650 with minimal effort. The drive is backed by a 3-year limited warranty from ADATA.
