This drive is compatible with servers and arrays that accept 2.5” 7mm SATA drives Review: Still One of the Best SATA SSDs for Speed and Reliability - Still One of the Best SATA SSDs for Speed and Reliability The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 500GB SSD is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to give an older computer a major performance boost. Installation is straightforward—just plug it into any SATA port, and it’s immediately recognized by most systems. Once installed, the difference is dramatic: Windows boots in seconds, applications launch instantly, and overall responsiveness feels like using a new machine. Performance is rock solid. With sequential read/write speeds around 560/530 MB/s, it hits the limits of what SATA III can deliver. SanDisk’s nCache 2.0 technology helps maintain consistent performance during large transfers, and 3D NAND gives it excellent endurance. I’ve used SanDisk Ultra SSDs in multiple builds—both desktops and laptops—and they’ve all been extremely stable with no data loss or slowdowns even after years of daily use. It also runs cool and silent, drawing much less power than a traditional hard drive. Whether you’re using it for an operating system drive, a game library, or even in an external enclosure for backups, it performs flawlessly. Compared to budget SSDs, the Ultra 3D feels a bit more refined—faster sustained speeds and longer lifespan justify the slightly higher price. Bottom line: A proven, high-quality SSD that’s still one of the best choices for SATA upgrades. It offers the perfect mix of speed, reliability, and longevity—especially for breathing new life into older PCs or laptops. Review: Upgraded after a few days from the SanDisk SSD PLUS 1TB to the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB - Nothing wrong with the other drive, I will move it to another computer. The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB seems to be a bit faster and I like the 5 year warranty vs. the 3 year. Also the Samsung 980 (or other drives of that type) will not work in a SATA-3 application, hence the SanDisk Ultra 3D is about the fastest available for the SATA-3. I used a cloning docking station to clone the original drive, then as the drive is much smaller than the original in my HP700 Envy I purchased the Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket 3.5" CSSD-BRKT2 from desertcart. It slid exactly into place of the original drive. I plugged in the SATA III cable and power cable connected the power and started the computer. The difference is that everything started up much faster than the original HDD. The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD - SATA III is much faster than my old disk drive. How fast? I don't exactly know, but the difference is very significant and well worth the upgrade. Aside from cloning the drive, start to finish took me probably 10 minutes, and I was taking my time. The SanDisk SSD Dashboard software seemed to crash the drive with my Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, so I had to re-clone without installing the SanDisk SSD Dashboard...works just fine now with the Windows 7. As Western Digital has owned Sandisk since 2019, and the specs are the same and according to their website, one design and two products: targeted to the customer bases that appeal to each brand name. Thus the Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND and the Sandisk Ultra Label, same product different label...also the price is the same on desertcart, so take your pick! If I have any problems with the new SSD, I will update this as needed. For now I am very pleased with the drive. ## Features - Accelerate your PC for faster boot-up and blazing-fast gaming and graphics - Ultra-fast: sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s; sequential write speeds of up to 530MB/s (Based on internal testing; performance may vary depending upon drive capacity, host device, OS and application. 1 megabyte (MB) = 1,000,000 bytes.) - 3D NAND provides greater endurance so your drive lasts longer and uses less power - NCache 2.0 technology delivers blazing-fast speeds ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B072R78B6Q | | Additional Features | High Speed SSD Drive | | Best Sellers Rank | #600 in Internal Solid State Drives | | Brand | Sandisk | | Built-In Media | SSD | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 500 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Gaming Console, Laptop, PC | | Connectivity Technology | SATA | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 35,432 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 50 megabits_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 500 GB | | Enclosure Material | 3D Nand | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00619659155513 | | Hard Disk Description | Solid State Drive | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | Serial ATA-600 | | Hard-Drive Size | 500 GB | | Hardware Connectivity | SATA 6.0 Gb/s | | Hardware Platform | PC, laptop | | Installation Type | Internal Hard Drive | | Item Dimensions L x W x Thickness | 3.96"L x 2.75"W x 0.28"Th | | Item Type Name | SanDisk Ultra 500GB 3D NAND SATA III SSD - 2.5-inch Solid State Drive - SDSSDH3-500G-G25 | | Item Weight | 1.92 ounces | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies Inc. | | Media Speed | 530 | | Mfr Part Number | SDSSDH3-500G-G25 | | Model Name | SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND Internal SSD | | Model Number | SDSSDH3-500G-G25 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 560 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | High Speed SSD Drive | | Specific Uses For Product | personal, gaming, business | | UPC | 619659155513 | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Warranty Description | 3-year limited | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sandisk - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Gaming Console, Laptop, PC - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 500 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Solid State Drive - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA-600 - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Special Feature:** High Speed SSD Drive ## Images ![Ultra 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5 Inch /7 mm, Up to 560 MB/s - SDSSDH3-500G-G25 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5169n4UNj5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still One of the Best SATA SSDs for Speed and Reliability *by E***S on October 8, 2025* Still One of the Best SATA SSDs for Speed and Reliability The SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 500GB SSD is a fantastic upgrade for anyone looking to give an older computer a major performance boost.

Startup or reboot was taking 2+ minutes. Once I cloned my HDD onto the SanDisk SDSSDH3-1T00-G25 Ultra 3D NAND 1TB Internal SSD and made the install, the old girl NOW BOOTS IN 16 SECONDS! Programs and applications start almost instantly once prompted. Any processing delays have all but disappeared. Are you kidding me? Why did I suffer through this pain for so long? Do yourself a favor and make this inexpensive upgrade at just over $100. You will not regret it. I estimate that I saved at least $1500 since I won't be buying a new laptop now. I expect my ThinkPad to last another 2-4 years. CLONING SOFTWARE TIP: The SanDisk/Western Digital version of the Acronis True Image cloning software was awful. Not user friendly at all. After repeated attempts to clone my disk with this software, wasting an hour, and not having it find the new SanDisk 1TB SDD drive hooked to my USB 3.0 port with an the SATA to USB adapter by Benfei I bought along with this order, I gave up and went to Google. I found the Macrium Reflect 7 Free Edition and it worked flawlessly. My old HDD was cloned to the new SanDisk 1TB SDD in about 45 minutes (I had just under 400 GB of data on my 1TB HDD drive). The physical replacement of the drive was a breeze after watching a couple of Youtube videos and took about 20 minutes. My ThinkPad booted up on the first try and I was amazed at the speed. I highly recommend this upgrade. ## Frequently Bought Together - SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5 Inch /7 mm, Up to 560 MB/s - SDSSDH3-500G-G25 - SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 500GB Internal SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5 Inch /7 mm, Up to 560 MB/s - SDSSDH3-500G-G26 - Corsair Dual SSD Mounting Bracket (3.5” Internal Drive Bay to 2.5", Easy Installation) Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/44851843-ultra-3d-nand-500gb-internal-ssd-sata-iii-6-gb](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/44851843-ultra-3d-nand-500gb-internal-ssd-sata-iii-6-gb) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-02*
