FAQ

Is this SSD compatible with my laptop or desktop?

Most laptops and desktops that accept a 2.5 inch, 7mm SATA drive will be compatible. The AS350 uses a standard 7-pin SATA data connector and 15-pin SATA power connector.

Can I use this drive as a boot drive for my operating system?

Yes. With sequential read up to 560 MB/s and good random IOPS, the drive is suitable as an OS drive to speed up boot times and application launches.

What endurance and reliability features does the drive offer?

The drive carries a rated endurance of 425 TBW, an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours, and includes firmware features such as global wear levelling, TRIM, S.M.A.R.T and power failure management to protect data and extend lifespan.

Do I need any special tools to install the SSD?

Installation typically requires a screwdriver for desktop or laptop drive bays. Some laptops may require an adapter or spacer for 7mm height - check your device manual for drive bay requirements.

Will this SSD improve gaming load times?
