Our take on the SANDISK 1TB 520 Internal SATA SSD

The SanDisk 520 is a 2.5-inch internal SATA SSD with 1TB of 3D TLC NAND and a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is rated for up to 560 MB/s sequential reads, which is the ceiling of the SATA link, so it competes on capacity and endurance rather than headline speed. It suits laptops and desktops with a 2.5-inch bay, or older machines being revived with a drive swap. Against NVMe rivals it is far slower, but for SATA-only systems it is a straightforward, well-known-brand upgrade.

Pros
  • 1TB capacity in the common 2.5-inch SATA form factor
  • Up to 560 MB/s reads, at the practical limit of SATA
  • 3D TLC NAND rather than cheaper QLC
  • Drops into most laptops and desktops without adapters
  • SanDisk brand with broad compatibility
Cons
  • SATA speeds trail any NVMe drive by a wide margin
  • No DRAM cache specified, which can slow sustained writes
  • Not a fit for systems with only M.2 slots
  • Little reason to choose it over a cheaper SATA rival

Questions and answers

Is this drive fast enough for everyday use?
Yes. At up to 560 MB/s it is near the SATA limit and far quicker than any spinning hard drive for booting, apps and file transfers.
Will it fit my laptop?
It is a standard 2.5-inch, 7mm-class SATA drive, so it fits most laptops and desktops with a 2.5-inch bay. Check your machine has that bay and a SATA connector.
Does it work in a desktop?
Yes, via a SATA cable and power connector from the power supply. It mounts in any 2.5-inch bay or bracket.
Is it better than an NVMe SSD?
No on speed. NVMe drives are several times faster. Choose this only if your system lacks an M.2 slot or you need 2.5-inch SATA storage.
What is 3D TLC and does it matter?
It is the NAND type. TLC generally lasts longer and holds sustained write speed better than QLC, which is a plus for a main drive.
What comes in the box?
The drive itself. SATA cables, screws and mounting brackets are usually not included, so have them on hand for a desktop install.
Where is the SANDISK 1TB 520 Internal SATA SSD cheapest?
At Newegg, for $184.08, as of our latest check.
