Epson Black Fabric Ribbon M16/18/19 Series

The Intel SSDSC2BX480G401 is a 480GB solid state drive created for business users who need dependable performance every hour of the day. It slips into any 2.5-inch bay and links to your system through a SATA III interface, so you can upgrade servers, workstations, or storage arrays without changing existing cabling or controllers.

Once installed, the drive can move data at up to 550 MB/s for reads and 450 MB/s for writes. Those speeds help database queries finish sooner, large spreadsheets open almost instantly, and creative assets move smoothly between applications. If your team works with virtual machines, the consistent throughput keeps guest operating systems responsive under heavy multitasking.

Reliability sits at the core of this model. Intel uses multi-level cell NAND that is qualified for high endurance, and the drive carries a 2 million-hour mean time between failures rating. End-to-end data protection monitors every bit from the host to the flash cells, while power loss protection holds data in place during unexpected outages. For organizations with strict compliance rules, built-in AES 256-bit encryption secures information without relying on host resources.

The 2.5-inch format makes deployment straightforward in desktops, rack-mount servers, or external enclosures. With idle power draw around 0.6 watts and an active draw near 5.2 watts, it helps keep heat and energy costs in check, which is useful in densely packed data centers and office systems alike.

Whether you are refreshing aging hard drives, building a new virtualization node, or giving a design workstation faster scratch space, this Intel drive offers a balanced mix of speed, longevity, and data safeguards that fits right into existing SATA-based environments.
