Why these brands

What we stock and why.

Most office PCs only need a small SATA SSD. A 240GB or 480GB drive holds Windows, Office and a browser with room to spare, which is why these sizes remain the standard for desktop refreshes, point-of-sale terminals and shared workstations. Move to 1TB when users keep local files or run design tools, because a drive that stays nearly full slows down and wears faster. If you are looking for a 120GB SSD, the nearest sizes we list are 128GB and 240GB, and we would normally quote 240GB or 480GB for the extra headroom.

SATA or NVMe is the next choice. A SATA SSD is limited by its 6Gb/s interface to roughly 550MB/s, which is plenty for office work and is the only option in many older laptops and desktops. An NVMe M.2 drive is several times faster and suits workstations, large file work and new builds, and the price gap is usually small. Gen5 NVMe costs noticeably more than Gen4 and only helps on sustained large transfers. An M.2 slot can be SATA or NVMe, and some laptops accept only one, so check the slot before ordering.

Endurance is rated in TBW, the total data written over the drive's life. As Kingston explains, servers use DWPD, the number of full drive writes per day. An office PC will not get close to the rating. Databases, virtual machine storage and busy logs are different, and they need enterprise drives with power-loss protection such as the Kingston DC600M or Samsung PM9A3. For NAS use, see our NAS page.

External SSDs (SanDisk Extreme Portable, Samsung T7 Shield, Crucial X6) cover portable storage. For NAS arrays and CCTV recorders, hard drives still cost less per terabyte, and our hard drives page covers them.

How to choose

Four things UAE buyers ask when scoping solid-state drives.

The factors that actually decide the spec — not the marketing matrix.

  1. 01

    Size the capacity to the job

    240GB or 480GB SATA covers an office PC that runs Windows and Office. 1TB suits users who store files locally or run design software. Keep about 20% free, because SSDs slow down when nearly full.

  2. 02

    SATA or NVMe

    SATA 2.5-inch drives work in any older PC and top out around 550MB/s. NVMe M.2 drives are several times faster and fit modern PCs and laptops with an M.2 slot. Check the slot type before ordering.

  3. 03

    Check endurance for heavy writes

    TBW is the total data a drive can write over its life, and enterprise drives quote DWPD. Office use stays far below the rating. Databases, virtual machines and logging need enterprise drives.

  4. 04

    Power-loss protection for production

    Without power-loss protection a sudden outage can corrupt data in flight. Consumer drives do not have it. Enterprise lines such as Kingston DC600M and Samsung PM9A3 do.

FAQ

Solid-state drives buyer questions, answered.

Questions that actually come up on quotes. If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us or send the form.

  • Yes, for most office PCs. Windows, Office, a browser and a few local files use well under half of 480GB. Choose 1TB if the user keeps large files locally, runs design or CAD tools, or you want the PC to last through several years of updates.

  • Yes, for a basic office build. Windows 11 needs at least 64GB, and a typical office install uses a fraction of 240GB. It gets tight with large Outlook files or local data, so we quote 480GB when the budget allows.

  • Go to 240GB or 480GB. The nearest sizes to 120GB are 128GB and 240GB, but the price step to 480GB is small and gives far more room. Check whether the old drive is SATA or M.2 NVMe before ordering.

  • SATA for older PCs and simple office refreshes. NVMe for modern desktops, laptops with an M.2 slot, workstations and anything that moves large files. NVMe is several times faster, and the price difference is usually small.

  • TBW is the total terabytes written over the drive's rated life. For an office PC it is almost never the limit. It matters for servers, databases and virtual machines, where enterprise drives rated in DWPD are the right choice.

  • Kingston, Samsung, Crucial, WD, SanDisk, Lexar, PNY and Seagate, plus Synology and QNAP drives for their NAS units. See our Kingston SSDs page for the Kingston range, or send the model you need.

  • We do not publish trade prices. Message us the model and quantity on WhatsApp and you get a live price and stock position the same working day, with the quote held for 7 days.

  • Yes. We quote Kingston DC-series and Samsung PM9A3 enterprise drives with power-loss protection, plus Synology SAT and SNV drives for Synology NAS units. Send the server model and workload so we match the endurance class.
