Enhanced boot and load times
With a SATA III 6 Gb/s interface, the Netac SA500 drastically reduces boot times and accelerates application loading. Sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s mean your system responds faster, whether launching software or booting into Windows.
Built for reliability and endurance
The SA500 uses 3D NAND flash memory, which offers better durability and efficiency than older planar NAND designs. With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1,500,000 hours and a TBW (Terabytes Written) rating of 120, it’s engineered for long-term, mixed-use workloads.
Wide compatibility for easy upgrades
Measuring 100 x 70 x 7 mm and weighing just 46 g, this 2.5″ form factor SSD fits standard laptop and desktop drive bays. It supports S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and TRIM commands, ensuring optimal performance and health tracking across a wide range of systems.
Mixed-use workload performance
Rated for Mixed Use (MU) workloads, the SA500 balances read and write performance for general computing, making it ideal for office tasks, media storage, and everyday multitasking without the premium price of high-end NVMe drives.
