Crucial M550 Series 1TB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive with 9.5mm Adapter Bracket, SATA 6Gb/s, 550 MB/s Read & Write Speed

The Crucial M550 Series 1TB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive gives you fast access to a large amount of data as it features a 1TB storage capacity and supports a 550 MB/s sequential read speed and 500 MB/s sequential write speed. These enhanced data transfer rates help to decrease system boot up times, decrease the time it takes to load applications, reduce power consumption and more. In addition to enhanced data transfer rates, you also benefit from a 4k random read speed of 95,000 IOPS and a 4k random write speed of 85,000 IOPS.

This 2.5-inch solid state drive consumes far less power than the traditional hard disk drive helping to lengthen the battery life of your computer. Along with reduced power consumption, this drive also features an AES 256-bit encryption engine and comes compliant with Microsoft eDrive, TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE-1667 authentication standards.

Do more, Faster & Longer
A breakthrough in innovation, the Crucial M550 SSD is over 20 times faster than a typical hard drive and consumes significantly less power. It enables your computer to boot up almost immediately, load files and programs almost instantly, accelerate demanding applications and manage power so that your battery lasts up to 50 minutes longer.

Consistently fast speeds & No exceptions
Every manufacturer has ideas about how to deliver better performance. Some use file compression schemes, but those don't help video, audio, or graphic files that are already compressed. Some steal system memory to improve a slow drive. The Crucial M550 treats all files the same, regardless of whether they're compressed or uncompressed, so the specs advertise are the same ones you'll see in real world use: true 550 MB/s sequential reads across all file types.

Download large files in seconds, rather than minutes
To deliver consistently fast write performance, they developed a more efficient and dependable way to write data called Native Write Acceleration. This technology spreads the drive's workload across several elements and links the controller, custom firmware and flash storage components together, enabling you to achieve inherently faster downloads, saves and file transfers.

Save on power costs and enjoy longer battery life
Run your system longer than ever before - and use less power. Based on published specs, a common laptop hard drive uses 2.5 watts of power on an average workload, compared to 0.15 watts on the Crucial M550 (which is up to 94% more energy efficient).

Secure and protect your data with no loss in performance
You probably save lots of sensitive and personal information on your computer - encrypt it and keep it safe. As a self-encrypting drive, the Crucial M550 incorporates the highest level of hardware encryption into the controller, allowing the drive to operate at full speed without the performance loss associated with software-based encryption.

Keep your system cool - even when you overwork it
Push your drive to the limit and avoid overheating, even in ultra-small, thermally constrained systems. The Crucial M550 includes Adaptive Thermal Protection technology, which enables the drive to dynamically adjust NAND activity based on usage demands. With this technology, the drive is able to maintain optimal operating temperatures, even when you overwork it.
