About this product

This is a genuine Lenovo 512GB internal SSD, model MZ-ALQ5120 5SS0V42255, designed for compatible laptops like the Flex 5-14ITL05 82HS. It features a 2.5-inch form factor with a SATA III interface, offering a read speed of 500MB/s and a transfer rate of 550 Mbps. The drive supports both HDD and SSD storage formats, indicating a hybrid (HDD/SSD) feature, and includes a 1MB cache. Despite being listed as an SSD, the rotation speed is stated as 1000 RPM, which is unusual for a pure solid-state drive.

Our take

I'm looking at this Lenovo SSD, and it's a bit of a mixed bag. The 512GB capacity is decent for a laptop upgrade, and the SATA III interface is standard for many machines. The 500MB/s read speed is respectable for an internal SSD, which should provide a noticeable boost over an older HDD. However, the mention of '1000 RPM' and 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' features is quite confusing for what's titled as an SSD. If it's truly a hybrid, that means it's not a pure SSD and won't deliver top-tier solid-state performance across the board. The 1MB cache is also on the smaller side for a modern drive.
