Verbatim M.2 SSD 512GB, 512GB, M.2, 560MB/s, 6Gb/s

The Verbatim Vi560 S3 512GB is a high-reliability SATA III internal solid-state drive engineered to breathe new life into aging laptops and desktops. Built around the compact M.2 2280 form factor, it slots directly into the M.2 SATA sockets found in countless Ultrabooks, notebooks and small form-factor PCs, replacing sluggish mechanical hard drives or first-generation SATA SSDs without any change to the host chassis.

At the heart of the Vi560 S3 sits a mature, high-endurance 3D NAND flash array paired with a proven SATA controller, delivering sustained sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and write speeds of up to 520 MB/s. Random performance is equally solid, with the drive capable of up to 101,376 IOPS on reads and 80,400 IOPS on writes, translating into noticeably faster boot times, quicker application launches and snappier file transfers compared with a traditional 2.5-inch hard disk.

Reliability is a core design pillar: Verbatim rates the Vi560 S3 for an MTBF of 1,500,000 hours and backs it with a generous endurance rating, giving IT professionals and end users confidence for both everyday productivity workloads and light-duty server or workstation refresh projects. Because the drive has no moving parts, it is inherently shock- and vibration-resistant, runs silently, and draws far less power than a spinning disk — helping extend battery runtime in mobile devices while reducing heat inside the chassis.

Physically, the Vi560 S3 measures just 80 x 22.1 x 2.3 mm and weighs a mere 9.1 grams, making it an ideal single-sided M.2 upgrade for thin-and-light laptops where clearance is at a premium. It ships ready to install, requiring only a compatible SATA III M.2 socket and a Phillips screwdriver to complete the upgrade.

For resellers and system integrators, the Vi560 S3 512GB represents a cost-effective, drop-in storage upgrade that pairs dependable Verbatim engineering with mainstream SATA compatibility, making it an excellent choice for refurbishment programs, laptop repairs, and budget-conscious performance upgrades alike.
