EMTEC X160 Power Plus 256GB 2.5" SATA SSD

256GB2.5-inch SATA IIIUp to 520MB/s3D NAND

The EMTEC X160 Power Plus (ECSSD256GNX160) is a 256GB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive that connects over SATA III 6Gb/s and delivers sequential reads up to 520MB/s and writes up to 500MB/s — an easy, affordable way to replace a slow mechanical hard drive in an everyday laptop or desktop. Built on 3D NAND flash in a 7mm-thin metal casing, it slots into any standard 2.5-inch bay. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Compatibility: Fits any device with a standard 2.5-inch (7mm) drive bay and a SATA data connector — the vast majority of laptops and desktop PCs. This is an internal drive: it is not bus-powered or portable, so for external use it would need a separate USB enclosure.

Best For

✓Upgrading an older laptop or desktop from a hard drive
✓Cutting boot and application load times
✓A budget-friendly capacity refresh
✓Reliable secondary storage for documents and media

Key Features

 
3D NAND Flash
Uses vertically stacked 3D NAND for a strong balance of speed, endurance and value versus older planar flash.
 
SATA III 6Gb/s
Full 6Gb/s SATA III interface, backward compatible with SATA II 3Gb/s, so it works in current and older machines.
 
Up to 520MB/s Reads
Sequential reads up to 520MB/s and writes up to 500MB/s make boot, file copies and app launches far snappier than a hard drive.
 
Built to Last
MTBF rated at up to 2,000,000 hours with TRIM, S.M.A.R.T., wear-levelling and ECC for dependable day-to-day use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the EMTEC X160 work in my laptop?
Yes, if your laptop has a standard 2.5-inch drive bay and a SATA connector — this covers most laptops that shipped with a 2.5-inch hard drive or SSD. Its 7mm height fits both 7mm and 9.5mm bays (a spacer may be supplied by your system for 9.5mm bays).
Is 256GB enough storage?
256GB comfortably holds Windows or macOS, everyday applications and a working set of documents, photos and media. If you store large game or video libraries you may prefer 512GB or 1TB.
What is the difference between this and an NVMe M.2 SSD?
The X160 is a 2.5-inch SATA drive capped at SATA III speeds (up to 520MB/s). An NVMe M.2 SSD is far faster but needs an M.2 slot. Choose the X160 when your machine only has a 2.5-inch SATA bay, or as a cost-effective HDD replacement.
What do I need to install it?
A 2.5-inch bay or bracket, a SATA data and power connection, and cloning or fresh-install software. No extra drivers are required — the drive is recognised by Windows, macOS and Linux out of the box.
Singular Expert Insight
The X160 Power Plus is the sensible pick when the goal is simply to retire a mechanical hard drive: at SATA III speeds it still feels dramatically faster than any HDD while keeping the cost low. If your machine has a spare M.2 slot, a faster NVMe drive is worth considering, but for the many laptops and desktops that only offer a 2.5-inch SATA bay this is an ideal, no-fuss upgrade. Explore the full range of internal SSDs for other capacities and form factors.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if
You want a cheap, reliable 2.5-inch SATA upgrade to replace a hard drive and speed up an existing laptop or desktop.
Skip it if
Your system has an M.2 slot and you want maximum speed — an NVMe drive will be several times faster.
Also consider
A 512GB or 1TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD if you need more room, or an M.2 NVMe drive for a faster machine.
