SATA SSD Drives – 2.5-inch SSDs

Choosing a 2.5-inch SATA SSD

A SATA SSD is an option for upgrading a computer with a compatible SATA connection and drive bay. Before choosing capacity, check your exact desktop or laptop model, the available space for the drive and any required data or power cables. A 2.5-inch SATA drive and an M.2 drive use different physical connections; check the manual instead of choosing by capacity alone.

SATA SSD or M.2 NVMe?

If your system supports a suitable M.2 PCIe slot, see our M.2 NVMe SSD guide. For a SATA upgrade, compare the space needed by your operating system, programs and files. Keep a backup before moving data or replacing the existing drive.

SATA SSDs we sell

We list the 2.5-inch SATA III HIKSEMI Wave 256GB, 512GB and 1TB SSDs with current prices. For another capacity or brand, ask PCPARTS and mention your computer model.

Use an existing SSD over USB

To use an existing drive over USB, explore SATA SSD enclosures and adapters. Match the enclosure to the drive interface and size; an enclosure is sold separately from the SSD unless the product page says otherwise.
