ADATA Ultimate SU650 240GB SATA III 2.5"
The 240GB SATA III drive hits 520 MB/s reads and 450 MB/s writes, enough to cut boot times and app loading on older systems. Its DRAM-less TLC design keeps the price low, though the 140 TBW endurance and 1-year warranty limit heavy workloads. Best for budget-minded users upgrading an aging desktop or laptop for everyday tasks like web browsing and office work.
