Acer SA100 480GB 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Acer SA100 480GB 2.5" SATA III Internal SSD BL.9BWWA.103

The Acer SA100 (BL.9BWWA.103) is a 480 GB internal Solid State Drive (SSD) designed to provide a high-speed, reliable storage upgrade for laptops and desktop computers. Utilizing a standard 2.5-inch form factor and the SATA III (6.0 Gbps) interface, it is specifically engineered to replace traditional mechanical hard drives, significantly improving system responsiveness, boot times, and data transfer efficiency. Built with premium 3D NAND flash memory, it offers a balance of high-density storage and long-term durability for everyday computing tasks.

Sequential Performance and Efficiency

The SA100 480GB model delivers impressive sequential read speeds of up to 560 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s. These transfer rates approach the theoretical limits of the SATA III interface, allowing for nearly instantaneous application launches and rapid handling of large media files. Designed with a high-performance 4-channel controller, the drive maintains stable performance even under heavy workloads, while its low power consumption profile helps extend the battery life of portable devices.

Reliability and Data Integrity

Equipped with a market-proven controller and high-quality 3D TLC NAND, the Acer SA100 features an endurance rating of 150 TBW (Terabytes Written) and a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,000,000 hours. It incorporates advanced Error Correction Code (ECC) technology and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring to protect data integrity and provide early warnings of drive health issues. Its solid-state design means it contains no moving parts, making it silent and resistant to physical shocks and vibrations up to 100 G.

Universal Compatibility and Installation

With a slim 6.7mm profile, the SA100 fits easily into ultra-thin notebooks, traditional laptops, and desktop drive bays. It is fully backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I interfaces and supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. For users migrating from an older drive, the SA100 is compatible with common cloning software, such as Acronis True Image, facilitating a seamless transition of the operating system and personal data to the new SSD.

Operating Conditions and Warranty

Designed to perform reliably in various environments, the drive has an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and a storage temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The product is backed by a 3-year limited warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for home, office, and student use. Its lightweight and compact design (100 x 70 x 6.7 mm) makes it an ideal choice for both primary system drives and high-speed secondary storage.
