Inland Pro 512GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State Drive

Bottom line: The Inland Pro 512GB SSD 3D NAND SATA III 2.5" 7mm Internal Solid State: 520MB/s read and 450MB/s write, near the SATA III 6Gb/s ceiling; main trade-off: SATA III caps it at ~520MB/s, far below any NVMe drive.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 520MB/s read and 450MB/s write, near the SATA III 6Gb/s ceiling
  • ✓ 60k/55k random 4K read/write IOPS for snappy app loading
  • ✓ 7mm 2.5-inch body drops into laptop and ultrabook bays without a spacer
  • ✓ 3D TLC NAND resists shock and vibration, silent with no moving parts

Cons

  • ✗ SATA III caps it at ~520MB/s, far below any NVMe drive
  • ✗ 3-year warranty is shorter than the 5 years many rivals offer
  • ✗ 512GB fills fast if you install more than a couple of modern games
  • ✗ TLC NAND writes slow down on sustained large transfers once cache fills

Manufacturer description

The Inland Pro 512GB is a SATA III 2.5-inch drive aimed at the least glamorous and most useful upgrade you can make: pulling a mechanical disk out of an aging desktop or laptop. INLAND rates it at up to 520MB/s sequential read and 450MB/s sequential write, with random 4K performance up to 60,000 read IOPS and 55,000 write IOPS, which is squarely where a SATA drive lands once the 6Gb/s interface is saturated. In practice that ceiling is what makes boot times, application launches, and file copies feel immediate compared with a hard drive, even though it will not match an NVMe stick. The 7mm…

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is the Inland Pro 512GB SSD?

INLAND rates it at up to 520MB/s sequential read and 450MB/s sequential write, with random 4K performance up to 60,000 read IOPS and 55,000 write IOPS over the SATA III 6Gb/s interface. Actual speeds vary with your system hardware and configuration.

Will this SSD fit in my laptop?

It is a standard 2.5-inch drive in a 7mm z-height, which is the thinner of the two common laptop sizes and fits most laptops and ultrabooks. If your bay was built for a 9.5mm drive, you may need a spacer to keep it from shifting.

Is this an NVMe drive or a SATA drive?

It is SATA III, not NVMe. It connects with a SATA data cable and power connector, not an M.2 slot, so check that your system has a free 2.5-inch bay and SATA port before ordering.

What warranty does the Inland Pro 512GB come with?

INLAND covers it with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty. Check the product listing for current terms and claim instructions before you buy.

Is 512GB enough capacity for gaming?

512GB handles Windows plus a working set of several games, but modern AAA titles can run 100GB or more each, so a large library will outgrow it. It is a better fit as a boot and application drive, with bulk storage on a second disk.
