Intel E 5400s Series 480GB M.2 SATA 6Gb/s Internal SSD

The Intel SSDSCKKF480H6X1 is an M.2 80 mm solid state drive in the 5400s Series that gives your computer 480 GB of quick, dependable storage through a SATA 6 Gb/s interface. The capacity is ample for an operating system, everyday applications, and a healthy library of games or media, all while freeing your system from the delays of a traditional hard disk.

Sequential read speeds reach up to 560 MB/s and write speeds up to 480 MB/s, so the drive can trim boot times, accelerate software launches, and move large files faster. Random performance of up to 90 000 read IOPS and 80 000 write IOPS keeps the system responsive when you juggle many tasks at once.

Intel builds the drive with 16 nm TLC NAND and backs it with a mean time between failures of 1.6 million hours, making it a solid choice for a daily driver in a home office desktop, a creative workstation, or a compact small form factor build.

Security comes built in through AES 256-bit hardware encryption, which helps protect sensitive data whether the machine is in use or traveling. The controller is tuned for low power draw, a feature that helps laptops run longer on battery and keeps desktop systems cooler and quieter.

Installation is straightforward. Slide the module into an available M.2 slot that supports SATA, secure it with a single screw, and start the operating system install or clone your existing drive. No extra power or data cables are required, so the inside of your system stays clean and clear for airflow.
