1TB Vi560 SATA III M.2 2280 Internal SSD

Upgrade your laptop or desktop with Verbatim’s 1TB Vi560 SATA III M.2 2280 Internal SSD and experience a dramatic leap in responsiveness, faster boot times, and snappier application launches. The compact M.2 2280 form factor is purposefully engineered to save precious chassis space while delivering reliable, consistent performance for everyday computing, creative workloads, and gaming alike. Built on a SATA III interface, this drive bridges the gap between value and speed, offering the dependable, proven performance that users demand from a modern solid-state solution. If your system relies on an aging hard drive or a slower SSD, the Vi560 stands as a compelling upgrade that transforms boot-to-desktop times, accelerates file transfers, and reduces load times for your favorite programs without the need to overhaul the entire platform.

• Impressive 1TB capacity means ample space for the operating system, productivity apps, large media libraries, and fast scratch or cache drives. With a generous 1 terabyte of NAND storage, you can install your most-used software, store high-resolution photos and videos, and maintain a comfortable margin for data growth. In practice, this translates to a smoother, more responsive system where multitasking is less prone to stutter and the need for constant external storage is minimized.
• Space-saving M.2 2280 form factor leverages a slim, plug-and-play design that fits into compact ultrabooks, thin gaming laptops, and mini desktops. The M.2 2280 footprint is widely supported by modern motherboards and laptops, enabling easy installation without sacrificing bays or adding bulky hardware. The Vi560’s compact shape also helps keep system thermals steady, contributing to more reliable sustained performance during longer workloads.
• SATA III interface for broad compatibility ensures dependable performance with a broad range of systems that support SATA-based M.2 storage. While PCIe NVMe drives offer top-tier speeds, SATA SSDs like the Vi560 deliver excellent real-world throughput with lower power draw and compatibility with older hardware. This makes the Vi560 an ideal upgrade path for legacy laptops and desktops that require a robust, affordable SSD upgrade without a motherboard swap or BIOS reconfiguration.
• Performance optimized for everyday tasks from quick system boot to rapid software launches, file transfers, and responsive multi-tasking. The Vi560 is designed to minimize boot times, improve application responsiveness, and shorten load times in games and creative software. Users will notice faster file indexing, shorter waiting times when opening large documents, and a more fluid desktop experience—even when juggling multiple programs or large projects.
• Reliability, efficiency, and value come together in this 1TB SSD. The drive is engineered for endurance and consistent performance, delivering dependable day-to-day operation with low power consumption and cooler temperatures compared to traditional hard drives. The Vi560’s durability translates into longer life for your system, reduced heat output, and quieter operation—benefits that are especially meaningful for laptops on the go or workstation builds where acoustics and thermals matter as much as speed.

how to install 1TB Vi560 SATA III M.2 2280 Internal SSD

Installing the Vi560 is straightforward and compatible with most systems that support M.2 SATA drives. Start by powering down your computer and unplugging from any power source. If you’re upgrading from a spinning hard drive, consider removing the existing drive to simplify the process. Open the service panel or access panel to reach the motherboard. Locate the M.2 slot and align the Vi560 with the connector, inserting it carefully at a slight angle. Secure the drive with the mounting screw provided by your motherboard or chassis. If you plan to clone your existing drive, connect an external USB-to-SATA adapter or use your motherboard’s cloning utility. After installation, boot into BIOS/UEFI to confirm the drive is detected, set it as the primary boot drive if desired, and save changes. When the system starts, you may need to install or update the OS to optimize storage usage and enable TRIM support for long-term performance. In cases where a clone is used, ensure the cloned partition sizes align with the 1TB capacity to avoid data misalignment. With the Vi560 installed, you should experience improved boot times, snappier application launches, and faster file operations across both new installations and refreshed configurations.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What performance can I expect from the 1TB Vi560 in a typical system?
  A: Expect faster boot times, quicker application launches, and smoother multitasking on systems that rely on traditional hard drives or older SSDs. The Vi560 leverages the SATA III interface to deliver reliable, consistently fast read/write performance that improves day-to-day productivity and gaming responsiveness without overhauling your motherboard.
• Q: Is this drive compatible with my laptop or desktop?
  A: The Vi560 uses the M.2 2280 form factor with a SATA III interface. It is compatible with systems that provide an M.2 slot supporting SATA drives. Always check your device’s documentation to confirm M.2 slot compatibility and BIOS settings for boot drive recognition.
• Q: Can I boot Windows from this SSD?
  A: Yes. The Vi560 can function as a boot drive for Windows, Linux, or other supported operating systems, provided your system’s BIOS/UEFI recognizes the drive and is configured to boot from it. For best results, install a fresh OS or migrate an existing OS using a reliable cloning tool.
• Q: How much endurance does the Vi560 offer?
  A: Endurance figures vary by batch and model. The Vi560 is designed for typical consumer workloads with robust longevity, but for precise TBW or MTBF values, refer to the official specifications from Verbatim or the vendor’s product page for your specific SKU.
• Q: Do I need any special software to manage this SSD?
  A: Generally, no specialized software is required. You can manage the SSD through your operating system’s built-in tools and, if needed, use standard drive management utilities for features like TRIM and optimization. If cloning from an old drive, you may use manufacturer-provided cloning software or trusted third-party tools.
