Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA SSD

The Samsung 860 EVO 500GB is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive built for consumer desktops and laptops. It uses 3D NAND memory and a SATA III interface with an MJX controller. Sequential reads reach up to 550 MBps and writes up to 520 MBps. Random read performance hits up to 98,000 IOPS at QD32.

Upgrade from mechanical hard drives

This drive replaces a traditional 2.5 inch hard disk in any system with a SATA III port. The jump is worth it when boot times, application launches and file copies feel sluggish on spinning media. Endurance is rated at 300 TBW for typical consumer workloads. The 7mm height fits most standard drive bays and caddies.

Check SATA port and physical space

Verify your motherboard or laptop has a free SATA III connector and a 2.5 inch bay that accepts a 7mm high drive. Confirm the operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C suits your chassis airflow. No extra drivers are required for modern operating systems. Ensure your power supply provides a standard SATA power connector.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5-inch 7 mm drive fit my laptop bay?

The drive measures 100.00 mm long, 70.00 mm wide and 7.00 mm high, matching the standard 2.5-inch 7 mm bay used in most laptops.

Do I need to secure the drive with screws or a bracket during installation?

Mount the drive using the four bottom screw holes on the 2.5-inch frame; the common mistake is leaving it loose, which can disconnect the SATA connector under vibration.

How many terabytes can be written before the 3D NAND wears out?

The endurance rating is 300 TBW, so the 500 GB 3D NAND drive is warranted for up to 300 terabytes of total data written.
