860 EVO mSATA 1TB for mainstream PCs

The Samsung 860 EVO mSATA 1TB is an internal solid-state drive built for consumer laptops and desktops. It uses V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory and a Samsung MJX controller with 1GB Low Power DDR4 cache. Sequential reads reach 550 MBps and writes 520 MBps, with random read IOPS of 97,000 and write IOPS of 88,000 at QD32. AES 256-bit encryption and TCG Opal support protect data.

mSATA form factor fits compatible slots

Installation requires an available mSATA slot and SATA III interface on the host system; the drive has no moving parts and draws 3.0W average active power. Common issues include inserting the module into an M.2 slot that only supports PCIe, or disabling AHCI in BIOS which limits Trim and queued Trim benefits. The 0°C to 70°C operating range and 1,500G shock resistance suit mobile use.

1TB capacity handles large media libraries

The 1TB drive stores operating systems, applications and sizable 4K video or 3D project files with headroom for future growth. TurboWrite buffer expands to 78 GB for sustained write bursts, while MTBF of 1,500,000 hours and GC algorithm maintain endurance. Heavy sustained workloads exceeding the 4.5W burst power envelope or sequential throughput limits will see performance taper.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Samsung 860 EVO mSATA 1TB is performing correctly after installation?

Check that the drive reports 1TB capacity in BIOS and OS, then run a benchmark to verify sequential reads near 550 MBps and writes near 520 MBps; S.M.A.R.T. data should show zero reallocated sectors and temperature within 0°C to 70°C.

What ships with the MZ-M6E1T0BW and what must I source separately?

The box contains the 1TB mSATA SSD with Samsung MJX controller, 1GB Low Power DDR4 cache, V-NAND 3-bit MLC, AES 256-bit encryption and 1,500,000 hour MTBF; you must supply an mSATA slot and SATA III cable or adapter.

Which capacity of the 860 EVO mSATA line should I choose for my workload?

This SKU is the 1TB model offering up to 550 MBps read, 520 MBps write, 97,000 random read IOPS and 88,000 random write IOPS; select it when you need that capacity and performance tier.
