250GB SATA SSD for consumer workloads

The Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW is a 2.5-inch internal solid-state drive offering 250GB of capacity. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and Samsung 3-core MEX controller with 512MB DRAM cache. Sequential reads reach 540MB/s and writes 520MB/s, while random 4KB performance hits 97,000 read and 66,000 write IOPS. It targets everyday computing, boot drives and general storage upgrades.

Verify SATA port, 2.5-inch bay and OS support

Confirm your motherboard or laptop provides a free SATA 6Gb/s port and a standard 2.5-inch drive bay with 6.8mm height clearance. The drive measures 69.85mm wide by 100.08mm deep and weighs 0.12 lb. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C, while storage spans -55°C to 95°C at 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity. Ensure your operating system supports TRIM, S.M.A.R.T. monitoring and AES 256-bit encryption for full feature use.

Samsung Magician software enables monitoring

The bundled Samsung Magician utility adds drive health monitoring, firmware updates and performance benchmarking. It also manages RAPID mode caching where supported, configures the AES 256-bit full-disk encryption and provides secure-erase functions. Garbage collection and TRIM support run automatically in the background to sustain write speeds. An LED indicator header allows optional front-panel activity light connection.

Questions about this item

Will this drive fit in a laptop bay that accepts 2.5-inch SATA drives?

The drive uses the standard 2.5-inch form factor with a 6.8 mm height and connects via SATA 6Gb/s, so it fits any bay designed for 2.5-inch SATA storage.

Does the 250 GB capacity and 512 MB DRAM cache help with everyday multitasking?

The 250 GB capacity and 512 MB DRAM cache support sustained sequential reads up to 540 MB/s and writes up to 520 MB/s, plus random 4 KB performance of 97,000 read IOPS and 66,000 write IOPS for responsive multitasking.

Is hardware encryption available without extra software?

The drive includes AES 256-bit full-disk encryption built into the controller, so data is encrypted at rest without requiring additional software.
