256GB SATA SSD

GIGABYTE 256GB SATA 2.5 Inch SSD

256GB SATA SSD from GIGABYTE is designed for users who want faster system performance, quick boot times, responsive applications, and reliable everyday storage. The GP-GSTFS31256GTND combines a practical 256GB capacity with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and a standard 2.5-inch form factor. With sequential read speeds reaching up to 520 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 500 MB/s, it provides a noticeable upgrade over traditional mechanical hard drives in compatible desktop and laptop computers.

The 256GB capacity provides useful space for Windows, office applications, frequently used software, documents, photographs, and selected games. It is an excellent option for upgrading an older system or creating a dedicated operating-system drive while larger files are stored on an additional hard drive or external storage device.

256GB SATA SSD with Fast Performance

The 256GB SATA SSD uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface that provides broad compatibility with many desktop computers and laptops. GIGABYTE specifies sequential read speeds of up to 520 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s, helping reduce waiting times when starting the operating system, opening programs, copying files, and performing everyday storage tasks.

This level of performance can make a computer feel considerably more responsive than a system using a traditional HDD, especially during boot-up and application loading.

Compact 2.5-Inch Design

The drive uses a standard 2.5-inch internal SSD form factor with dimensions of approximately 69.85 × 7 × 100mm. This compact format makes it suitable for many compatible laptops, desktop cases, mini PCs, and workstations that support 2.5-inch SATA drives.

Installation uses traditional SATA data and power connections, making the SSD a practical replacement for many existing 2.5-inch hard drives and older SATA SSDs.

Strong Random Read and Write Performance

GIGABYTE specifies random read performance of up to 80K IOPS and random write performance of up to 85K IOPS. Strong random performance helps improve responsiveness because operating systems and applications frequently access many small files rather than one continuous large file.

This can improve everyday tasks such as launching programs, browsing folders, accessing system files, and working with multiple applications at the same time.

TRIM Support

The SSD supports TRIM technology, allowing compatible operating systems to identify storage blocks that are no longer required. This helps the drive manage available space efficiently and can help maintain consistent performance during long-term use.

S.M.A.R.T Monitoring

S.M.A.R.T support allows compatible monitoring software to access useful information about drive health and operating status. Users can monitor the SSD and keep track of important storage information during everyday use.

Reliable Solid-State Storage

Unlike traditional hard drives, an SSD contains no spinning disks or mechanical read heads. This allows faster data access, silent operation, and improved resistance to vibration during normal use.

GIGABYTE specifies an MTBF rating of approximately two million hours for this model, providing additional confidence for home, office, study, and general-purpose computer systems.

Low Power Consumption

The drive is designed for efficient operation, with official specifications listing average active power consumption of approximately 2240mW during reads and 2610mW during writes, while idle consumption is around 170mW.

Efficient power usage makes the SSD suitable for both desktop and compatible laptop systems where lower storage power consumption can contribute to better overall efficiency.

Three-Year Limited Warranty

GIGABYTE backs the SSD with a limited three-year manufacturer warranty. This provides additional peace of mind for users upgrading an existing computer or building a new everyday system.

Reliable Upgrade for Desktops and Laptops

If you need a 256GB SATA SSD that combines a 2.5-inch design, SATA 6.0Gb/s connectivity, up to 520 MB/s read speed, up to 500 MB/s write speed, strong random performance, TRIM, S.M.A.R.T monitoring, and dependable everyday storage, the GIGABYTE 256GB SSD provides a practical upgrade for compatible desktop and laptop computers.
