Apacer AS350X 256 GB (AP256GAS350XR-1)

The Apacer AS350X is a line of 2.5-inch SATA SSDs designed for upgrading laptops and desktop PCs. It is intended for users who need to transition from a hard drive to a solid-state drive without changing their platform or migrating to M.2 form factor. The Apacer AS350X series uses a SATA III 6 Gbps interface, features a 7 mm thin form factor, and maintains backward compatibility with SATA 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps, making it suitable for most compatible systems where simple installation and stable operation are priorities. The lineup offers capacities of 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB, allowing you to select a drive for basic system installation or for storing large volumes of applications, games, photos, and work files. The entire series delivers sequential read speeds up to 560 MB/s and write speeds up to 540 MB/s, ensuring significantly faster operating system boot times, application launches, and data transfers compared to traditional HDDs. The lineup uses 3D NAND technology and features SLC caching, multi-level cache architecture, Wear Leveling, ECC, TRIM support, NCQ, S.M.A.R.T., and SATA Power Management—all critical for reliability, drive health monitoring, and extended lifespan under daily use. The Apacer AS350X is an excellent choice for system upgrades requiring a traditional 2.5-inch form factor, a wide range of storage capacities, and stable performance within SATA interface speeds.
