Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Whether you're a technology enthusiast or a hardcore gamer, the Samsung 470 Series Solid-State Drive can help you get more done on your PC in less time. The 470 Series allows you to boot up your computer in as little as 15 seconds and launch games and apps faster, and it uses two-thirds less power than typical hard disk drives. In addition, because the device has no moving parts--unlike traditional hard drives--it provides exceptional reliability, protecting your data from impact or mechanical failure. A brushed metal shell resists shock, and also blocks dust and corrosion. With 256 GB, this is the flagship model in the 470 Series.
Faster Performance, Improved Multitasking
With the Samsung 470 Series Solid-State Drive, you can spend more time doing and less time waiting. The device offers sequential read speeds of up to 250 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 170 MB/s. This means that computers can boot up in as little as 15 seconds and programs can open faster. The drive also features TRIM support to ensure that write speeds won't decrease over time (note: please ensure that your computer's operating system also has TRIM support).
The 470 Series also delivers improved multitasking, so that you can easily edit photos, for instance, while downloading a movie.
Solid Brushed Metal Design
The Samsung 470 Series Solid-State Drive features a sturdy, brushed metal hard shell case to protect it from shock, dust, and corrosion. The lack of moving parts also makes your data less susceptible to impact than with traditional hard disk drives. And, at 2.4 ounces, the device ensures that your laptop is lightweight and easy to carry. The drive's 2.5-inch form factor is compatible with most laptops, notebooks, and desktops.
