256GB 2.5-inch SATA SSD for everyday computing

This Samsung 860 PRO drive provides 256GB of internal solid-state storage using a SATA 6Gb/s interface and Multi-Level Cell technology. The 2.5-inch form factor fits standard laptop and desktop drive bays. It is suited to general-purpose workloads such as operating system boot, application loading and daily file access.

Buyers needing higher capacity

Users who require more than 256GB of space will need a larger drive. Systems that only support M.2 or PCIe connections cannot use this 2.5-inch SATA device. The drive is not intended for enterprise write-intensive environments that demand specialised endurance ratings.

Questions about this item

How does the MLC NAND in the 860 PRO 256GB handle write endurance during sustained workloads?

The MLC architecture provides higher program/erase cycle tolerance than TLC alternatives, allowing the 256GB drive to sustain heavy write workloads without early wear concerns.

What thermal behaviour should I expect from the 2.5-inch 860 PRO when running continuously in a laptop or desktop?

With no moving parts and low-power SATA operation, the drive stays cool under sustained loads; the metal casing helps dissipate heat so temperatures remain stable during all-day use.
