- Is this one drive or ten?
- It is a pack of ten separate 256GB drives. Each one is a complete 2.5-inch SATA SSD.
- Will it fit my laptop?
- It fits any laptop or desktop with a standard 2.5-inch SATA bay and 7mm clearance. Very thin ultrabooks that use M.2 slots will not take it.
- How fast is it compared with a hard drive?
- Much faster. The 530 MB/s rating is several times the throughput of a typical 2.5-inch hard drive, and boot times drop sharply.
- Is QLC NAND a problem?
- For everyday use, no. For large sustained writes such as video rendering, speed can drop once the write cache fills, so it suits general computing better than heavy write work.
- Can I use these in a NAS or server?
- Yes, as SATA boot or cache drives. Check that your enclosure accepts 7mm 2.5-inch drives and plan for modest endurance under constant writes.
- What is in the box?
- Ten 256GB 2.5-inch SATA SSDs. No cables, screws or cloning software are included.
- Where is the TIMETEC 256GBx10 10 Pack SSD 3D NAND QLC SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5 Inch 7mm Internal Solid cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $409.99, as of our latest check.
