Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA SSD

This Samsung 850 EVO is a 250GB internal solid state drive built in a 2.5 inch form factor. It connects through a SATA III interface with a 6Gb/s transfer standard. The drive includes a 512 MB buffer and hardware-based 256-bit encryption compliant with TCG Opal 2.0. Sequential reads reach 540 MB/s and writes reach 520 MB/s.

Suits SATA laptop or desktop upgrades needing

This drive fits any system with a standard 2.5 inch SATA bay and a SATA III controller. The built-in Self-Encrypting Drive feature protects data without software overhead. Buyers whose systems only accept M.2 modules or require a PCIe interface should select a different drive.

SATA III interface with 6Gb/s link speed

The decisive specification is the SATA III interface operating at the SATA 600 standard. This determines whether the drive will physically install and communicate with the host system. Verify that the target machine provides a 2.5 inch SATA connector before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 850 EVO 250GB SATA III drive work in a laptop that only has a SATA II port?

The drive uses the SATA interface and will operate in a SATA II port, but the maximum read and write speeds of 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s will be limited by the slower port.

How can I verify the 850 EVO 250GB is performing at its rated 540 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD Benchmark on the drive; sequential read and write results should approach 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s respectively on a SATA III connection.

Does the MZ-75E250E 850 EVO 250GB retail package include a 2.5" to 3.5" mounting bracket or a SATA data cable?

The drive is supplied as a bulk unit weighing 100g with dimensions 2.7 x 3.9 x .3 inches; mounting brackets and SATA cables are not included and must be purchased separately.
