250 GB SATA SSD for everyday upgrades

The Samsung 870 EVO is a 2.5 inch internal solid-state drive built for desktops and laptops. It uses V-NAND memory and a 512 MB DRAM cache to deliver consistent performance for general computing, content creation and IT deployments. The SATA III interface ensures broad compatibility with existing systems.

Sustained write behaviour with variable buffer

The drive maintains long-term high performance by using a larger variable buffer that accelerates write speeds during extended workloads. Sequential writes reach up to 530 MBps while reads hit 560 MBps, keeping throughput steady rather than peaking only in short bursts. A 1.5 million hour MTBF and 1500 G shock resistance support reliable operation under continuous use.

600 TBW endurance rating

The 600 terabytes written figure defines how much data can be written over the drive’s lifetime and is the key metric for deciding if this capacity suits your workload. Hardware AES 256 encryption with TCG Opal 2.0 and IEEE 1667 support secures stored data without software overhead.

Questions about this item

Does the 870 EVO 250 GB run hot or noisy during all-day use?

It has no moving parts so it is silent, and the 7 mm metal case dissipates the low heat from the SATA III controller and 512 MB DRAM cache without a fan.

What must my laptop or desktop already have to install this drive?

A free 2.5 inch SATA III bay or caddy plus a SATA data cable and SATA power connector — the drive itself is 7 mm high and fits the standard 69.85 mm x 100 mm footprint.

Will the 870 EVO work in a PC that still uses an older SATA II motherboard?

Yes, the SATA III interface is backward compatible with SATA II ports; sequential speeds will simply cap at the older bus limit while the 512 MB cache and V-NAND keep random access responsive.
