SSD disk Intel 240GB 2.5" SATA 3 SSDSC2KB240G801-PULL

The Intel 240GB 2.5" SATA 3 SSD is a solid-state drive designed for enterprise-class use in servers, workstations, and storage arrays. With a 2.5-inch form factor and a SATA III interface, this SSD fits standard drive bays and provides improved responsiveness compared with mechanical drives. It uses TLC NAND flash to balance capacity and endurance while delivering consistent read/write performance for applications that require reliable storage behavior.

Advantages

This 240GB SATA SSD offers lower latency and higher input/output operations per second (IOPS) than traditional hard drives, enabling faster boot times and application load times. The SATA 3 interface ensures broad compatibility with existing infrastructures, and the 2.5" form factor simplifies installation in servers and workstations. TLC NAND provides a compromise between storage density and endurance, making the drive suitable for mixed read/write enterprise workloads.

Suitable for

• Operating system and application boot drives in servers and workstations
• Database caching and metadata storage
• Virtual machine storage for moderate-density deployments
• Enterprise upgrades where SATA 3 compatibility is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2.5-inch
• Interface: SATA III (6 Gb/s)
• Capacity: 240 GB
• Flash type: TLC NAND
• Designed for enterprise workloads with consistent performance

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5" drive bay or mounting bracket and connect it to a SATA III port using a SATA data cable and power connector. Initialize and format the drive within your operating system or storage controller, then deploy the operating system, applications, or data according to your infrastructure plan. For servers, verify BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the SATA controller is configured for optimal performance and recognized at boot.

Usage recommendations

For enterprise reliability, use this SSD for tiered storage roles such as OS and cache layers rather than as a primary archival repository. Monitor drive health via SMART metrics and integrate it into regular backup and maintenance procedures. When deploying multiple drives, ensure adequate cooling and follow manufacturer guidance for firmware updates and compatibility lists.
