256GB mSATA Used SSD Internal Solid State Drive
The 256GB mSATA SSD is a compact solid state drive designed for laptops and mini PCs that feature a dedicated mSATA slot. Replacing a slow spinning hard disk with this drive dramatically reduces boot times and makes everyday tasks - opening browsers, launching apps, and saving files - feel significantly faster.
At 256GB, this drive provides a practical amount of storage for an operating system and essential software. mSATA was commonly found in ultrabooks and business laptops from around 2011-2016, often as either the primary drive or a secondary cache drive.
This drive has been inspected, tested, and verified to meet our performance standards before dispatch. All refurbished drives are securely data-wiped before sale. Backed by a 12-month warranty.

Compatibility - Which Devices Does This Fit?
mSATA (mini-SATA) is a compact form factor found in specific laptops and mini PCs, mainly from 2011-2016:
- Laptops - Ultrabooks and thin-and-light laptops with a dedicated mSATA slot (e.g., Dell Latitude E-series, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad T/X series from 2012-2015)
- Mini PCs - Intel NUC first-generation units and similar compact systems
- Industrial / embedded systems - Many embedded computers with mSATA storage slots
