Our take on the Verbatim 1TB Vi550 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive SSD

The Verbatim Vi550 is a 1TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD built on 3D TLC flash. It reads up to 550 MB/s and writes up to 525 MB/s over SATA 6Gb/s, with a rated 2 million hours between failures. It is a budget drive for reviving an older laptop or desktop, not a speed leader: SATA caps it well below NVMe drives, and it lacks a DRAM cache, so sustained writes can slow. Buyers wanting a cheap capacity bump for an aging machine get the most from it.

What reviewers say

Owner feedback on the Vi550 line is generally positive for everyday use as a cheap way to speed up an older machine. Buyers note it is not a performance drive and trails NVMe models in heavy use.

What people mention
  • SpeedMixedOwners find it much quicker than an old hard drive but well behind NVMe drives.
  • ReliabilityPraisedBuyers report it holding up well in everyday use.
  • Sustained writesCriticisedLong transfers slow down, which owners attribute to the lack of a DRAM cache.
  • InstallationPraisedThe standard 2.5-inch shape makes it a simple drop-in upgrade.

Questions and answers

Is the Vi550 faster than a hard drive?
Yes. Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s and writes 525 MB/s, far above a mechanical 2.5-inch drive, so boot times and app loads improve noticeably.
Does it work in a laptop?
It fits any laptop with a 2.5-inch SATA bay. Check that your model takes a 7mm-thick 2.5-inch drive rather than a newer M.2 slot.
Is it as fast as an NVMe SSD?
No. It uses SATA 6Gb/s, which tops out well below NVMe drives. It is a good match for SATA-only machines, not for peak speed.
What kind of flash does it use?
3D TLC NAND. That is more durable than older planar TLC, though the drive has no DRAM cache, so long sustained writes can slow.
How long is it rated to last?
Verbatim rates it at 2 million hours mean time between failures, a standard figure for consumer SATA SSDs.
Where is the Verbatim 1TB Vi550 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive SSD cheapest?
At Walmart, for $209.99, 18% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
