GIGABYTE 480GB 2.5 SATA SATA 3 Solid State Drive (SSD)

The Gigabyte GP-GSTFS31480GNTD is a 480GB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive designed to replace ageing hard drives in desktops and laptops that support a standard SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface. With sequential read speeds of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 480 MB/s, everyday tasks such as booting your operating system, launching applications, and transferring large files feel noticeably faster compared to traditional spinning hard drives. Random workloads are handled by up to 75,000 IOPS read and up to 70,000 IOPS write, making the drive well-suited for multitasking environments where multiple small files are accessed simultaneously. The drive carries no external DDR cache — a design choice that keeps the unit compact and power-efficient, drawing just 170 mW at idle and averaging 2,240 mW during reads and 2,610 mW during writes. The GP-GSTFS31480GNTD supports both TRIM and S.M.A.R.T., giving your operating system the tools it needs to maintain long-term drive health and alert you to potential issues before data loss occurs. Gigabyte also provides its SSD Tool Box utility, a free download that displays model information, firmware version, health status, temperature readings, and a Secure Erase function for safe decommissioning. Reliability is backed by a rated MTBF of 2 million hours and a 3-year limited warranty with a 200 TBW endurance rating, giving confidence for typical home, office, and light creative workloads. The drive operates between 0°C and 70°C and stores safely between -40°C and 85°C, covering the thermal range of most standard PC enclosures.
