A reliable SATA boot drive for laptops, desktops and workstations.

The Intel 545s 256GB is a 2.5-inch, 7mm SATA 6Gb/s SSD built on Intel 64-layer 3D TLC NAND. Reading at up to 550MB/s and writing at up to 500MB/s, with a 144 TBW endurance rating, it is a dependable boot-drive upgrade for laptops, desktops and workstations.

A Simple Upgrade From Hard Drive to SSD

Hard drives slow down boots, updates and app launches in otherwise capable systems. Replacing the boot drive with an SSD is the most noticeable upgrade most PCs can get.

The 545s uses the same 2.5-inch SATA connection as a laptop hard drive, so it installs easily and brings fast, silent SSD performance to everyday computing.

Fast, Consistent SATA Speed

With up to 550/500MB/s sequential speeds, the 545s cuts boot times and makes apps and files open quickly.

Reliable and Secure

A 144 TBW rating, 1.6-million-hour MTBF and AES 256-bit encryption support make it a solid choice for home and business systems.
