HP S650 345M9AA 480 GB

Affordable internal 2.5-inch SSD drive, designed for users looking to upgrade older systems or speed up budget builds without significant costs. The device connects via SATA 3.0 interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of desktops and laptops. The foundation of the HP S650 is the classic multi-layer flash memory 3D QLC NAND, offering high data storage density and moderate cost per GB of storage.

The 480 GB drive is suitable for a typical data set—from OS and programs to user files—offering a basic level of performance. The claimed read and write speeds reach 560 MB/s and 490 MB/s respectively, allowing the HP S650 to significantly speed up the loading of the operating system and applications compared to traditional hard drives. However, due to the use of QLC memory without additional DRAM cache, performance may decrease in scenarios involving long-duration writing of large amounts of data. The mean time between failures is stated to be 1 million hours, which aligns with standard indicators for entry-level solutions. Additionally, the warranty period is limited to one year, emphasizing the model's positioning as an affordable consumer option without a focus on professional use.
