480GB SATA SSD

GIGABYTE 480GB SATA 2.5 Inch SSD

480GB SATA SSD from GIGABYTE is designed for users who want faster system performance, quicker boot times, responsive applications, and reliable everyday storage in a compact 2.5-inch format. The GIGABYTE GP-GSTFS31480GNTD combines a practical 480GB capacity with a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface, making it suitable for compatible desktop computers, laptops, office systems, home PCs, and general productivity builds. With sequential read speeds reaching up to 550 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 480 MB/s, it provides a noticeable performance improvement over traditional mechanical hard drives.

The 480GB capacity offers a useful balance between storage space and affordability. It can accommodate Windows, office applications, frequently used software, documents, photos, videos, and selected games while still leaving room for everyday files. Users upgrading from an older HDD can benefit from significantly faster access times and smoother system responsiveness.

480GB SATA SSD with Fast Everyday Performance

The 480GB SATA SSD uses a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface that provides broad compatibility with many desktop and laptop systems. GIGABYTE specifies sequential read performance of up to 550 MB/s and sequential write performance of up to 480 MB/s, helping reduce waiting times when starting Windows, opening programs, copying files, and loading frequently used data.

This level of performance makes the drive a practical upgrade for systems that currently rely on traditional hard disks or slower storage solutions. Users can enjoy quicker application launches, faster file access, and a more responsive computing experience during everyday tasks.

480GB Storage Capacity

The 480GB capacity provides enough room for an operating system, productivity software, office files, multimedia content, and a selection of games. It is well suited for users who need more space than smaller 120GB or 240GB SSDs but do not necessarily require a full 1TB drive.

This makes the SSD useful for home computers, educational systems, office desktops, and budget gaming PCs where a balanced capacity is important.

Compact 2.5-Inch Form Factor

The SSD uses a standard 2.5-inch internal form factor, allowing installation in many compatible laptops and desktop cases. Its compact dimensions make it easy to install in systems that support traditional 2.5-inch SATA drives.

Because it uses standard SATA data and power connections, upgrading from an existing 2.5-inch HDD or SATA SSD is straightforward on compatible systems.

SATA 6.0Gb/s Interface

The SATA 6.0Gb/s interface provides wide compatibility across many generations of desktop and laptop hardware. This makes the drive a useful option for systems that do not support NVMe storage or users who simply want a reliable SATA upgrade.

The interface also allows the SSD to reach high sequential transfer speeds within the limits of SATA technology.

Strong Random Read and Write Performance

GIGABYTE specifies random read performance of up to 75K IOPS and random write performance of up to 70K IOPS for the 480GB model. Strong random performance helps improve responsiveness when the operating system and applications need to access many smaller files at the same time.

This can improve tasks such as launching programs, browsing folders, working with system files, and multitasking between several applications.

TRIM Support

The drive supports TRIM technology, allowing compatible operating systems to identify storage blocks that are no longer required. This helps the SSD manage free space efficiently and can support consistent performance over extended periods of use.

S.M.A.R.T Drive Monitoring

S.M.A.R.T support allows compatible monitoring software to access important information about drive health and operating status. This gives users a convenient way to monitor storage condition and track the SSD during long-term use.

Reliable Solid-State Design

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

GIGABYTE specifies an MTBF rating of approximately 2 million hours for this SSD family, supporting dependable long-term use in home, office, and general-purpose systems. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
