The VisionTek 512GB Go Drive Low Profile 7mm SSD for Windows®, Mac® OS X®, and Linux® based computers... When your definition of high-performance means both speed and reliability, the Go Drive SSD series is the answer.
Engineered for long-term real-world use, you'll experience speeds up to 560MB/s read and 460MB/s write, up to 100x greater data reliability than a costly Enterprise class HDD, and access times up to 50x faster than a conventional HDD. It's SATA 6G ready, but backward compatible with SATA 3G and 1.5G machines too making a 1.0TB Go Drive SSD the upgrade solution for everything from a desktop workhorse to the latest ultra-thin laptop.
The Go Drive is perfect for:
- Power Users

Designed For Real World Use
Because it features a Silicon Motion Controller and tier one high-performance NAND flash, the 512GB Go Drive Low Profile SSD is designed to deliver top speeds with the files you utilize daily...videos, mp3s, graphics files, and zip files. While these files are compressed, the 512GB Go Drive's controller doesn't slow down while processing them like other controllers do.
Enough Space To Be Your Primary Drive
The common rub on past SSDs – like 60GB and 120GB capacities – was that there just wasn't enough space for the operating system, apps, and file storage. With 512GB of storage space, this massive data vault is a true complete HDD replacement that you can migrate over all your current internal drive's data to with plenty of room to spare.
Fits Any Portable Computer
Whether you have a rugged full-sized laptop or travel light with an ultrabook, the 512GB Go Drive Low Profile SSD will fit your machine. It's 2.5" 7mm low profile form factor is ideal for modern computer designs, while the included adapter makes it fit perfectly in machines that require a 9.5mm height drive. Of course, with an aftermarket 2.5" to 3.5" adapter, the 512GB Go Drive Low Profile SSD can also be used in a desktop computer.
