Is your PC feeling sluggish, or your old hard drive running out of space? Sandisk has launched two new 2.5-inch SATA SSDs in India, the SANDISK® 320 and SANDISK® 520. Both are built to breathe new life into compatible laptops and desktops. Since a solid-state drive has no moving parts, it boots faster, loads apps quicker and handles daily knocks better than a traditional HDD.
If you’re weighing upgrade options, our storage and PC hardware coverage is a good place to continue.
SANDISK® 320: The Easy HDD-to-SSD Upgrade
The 320 is made for everyday computing: browsing, apps and multimedia. It delivers read speeds of up to 545MB/s and comes in capacities from 250GB to 2TB. Acronis® True Image™ for SANDISK makes migrating your old data simple, and SANDISK® Dashboard helps you keep an eye on drive health and free space.
SANDISK® 520: Built for Creators and Pros
The 520 targets IT professionals, content creators and prosumers. On the 4TB model, you get read speeds of up to 560MB/s and write speeds of up to 525MB/s. It uses SANDISK® 3D NAND, with up to 1,000 TBW and an MTTF rating of up to 2.25 million hours. That makes it a solid pick for editing, large media libraries and heavy file transfers.
