860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD

The Samsung 860 EVO is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive with a 500GB capacity. It uses V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory and a Samsung MJX controller backed by 512MB of Low Power DDR4 cache. The drive connects through a SATA III interface and is built for consumer workloads.

Check SATA port and 2.5 inch bay

Verify that your motherboard has a free SATA III port and that your chassis includes a 2.5 inch drive bay or a suitable adapter bracket. Ensure the system can supply a standard SATA power connector for the drive. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, so confirm adequate airflow in the mounting location.

Low power draw and silent operation

With no moving parts the drive runs silently in normal use. Active power consumption averages 2.2W and peaks at 4.0W in burst mode. The 1,500,000 hour MTBF and 1,500G shock resistance indicate robust reliability for daily computing.

Questions about this item

Does the 860 EVO 500GB come with a SATA cable or mounting bracket, or must I buy them separately?

The drive ships as the bare 2.5" unit only; a SATA data cable, power cable and any 3.5" adapter bracket are not included and must be purchased separately.

I see 500GB and 1TB versions of the 860 EVO — which capacity should I choose for a general-purpose laptop upgrade?

The 500GB model provides 500GB usable space with 550 MBps read and 520 MBps write, while the 1TB version doubles capacity but uses the same SATA III interface and controller.

What does the 550 MBps sequential read figure mean when the drive is installed in a typical laptop?

In a SATA III laptop the drive can sustain up to 550 MBps on large file transfers, with 4 KB random reads up to 98,000 IOPS at queue depth 32 and 10,000 IOPS at queue depth 1.
