SAMSUNG 5300 Pro 240GB SATA M.2 internal SSD

SKU CH-64CG-9VVB4

A 240 GB M.2 SATA solid-state drive with 540 MB/s read and 310 MB/s write speeds

  • Fast boot and load times with 540 MB/s read speed
  • Responsive file saves at 310 MB/s write speed
  • 240 GB capacity for OS and core apps
  • SATA 6 Gb/s interface for broad laptop and desktop compatibility
  • M.2 2280 form factor fits slim devices without cables

Purpose & audience

This 240 GB SATA M.2 drive targets system integrators and upgraders who need reliable solid-state storage for everyday workloads in laptops or desktops. Buyers who want more capacity or PCIe speeds should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The drive delivers sequential reads up to 540 MB/s and writes up to 310 MB/s over a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, so the interface speed is the single figure that determines whether it fits the performance budget.

Thermals noise power

With no moving parts the SSD runs silently and generates minimal heat during typical workloads, keeping power draw low enough for thin-and-light notebooks or compact desktops without active cooling.

Questions about this item

What does the 540 MB/s read figure mean when the drive is installed in a laptop?

The 540 MB/s read rate is the SATA 6 Gb/s interface ceiling, so real-world sequential reads will sit near that limit in any system with a SATA M.2 slot.

Does the SATA 6 Gb/s interface cap the 5300 Pro’s 310 MB/s write speed in practice?

Yes, the SATA 6 Gb/s link limits sustained writes to the quoted 310 MB/s, and no firmware update can exceed that bus maximum.

Will this 240GB M.2 stick fit a 2280-length slot on my motherboard?

The drive uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor, so it mounts directly into any 2280-keyed SATA M.2 socket.
