Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SATA SSD

The Samsung 840 EVO is a 2.5 inch internal solid state drive with a 250GB capacity. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface and a Samsung 3-core MEX controller with 512MB DRAM cache. Sequential read reaches 540MB/s and write reaches 520MBps. It is built for consumer workloads.

Check SATA port and bay before ordering

Verify that your motherboard or laptop has a free SATA 6Gb/s port and a 2.5 inch drive bay or suitable adapter. The drive draws 0.14W idle and 0.24W active, so a standard SATA power connector is sufficient. Ensure your BIOS or OS supports TRIM and S.M.A.R.T for full feature use.

6.8mm metal case with standard connectors

The drive measures 6.8mm high, 69.85mm wide and 100.08mm deep, weighing 0.12 lb. Its metal enclosure fits typical 2.5 inch caddies and uses standard SATA data and power connectors. AES 256-bit full disk encryption and an LED indicator are supported. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 70°C.

Questions about this item

Does the 2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s drive come with a mounting bracket or cloning software, or must I buy them separately?

The drive ships as the bare 2.5 inch SATA 6Gb/s unit; no bracket, screws, cables or migration software are included, so source a 2.5 to 3.5 inch adapter and a SATA data cable if your chassis needs them.

The range tops out at 250GB; is that the only capacity for this 840 EVO model?

MZ-7TE250BW is the 250GB SKU; other 840 EVO capacities carry different part numbers, so choose this model when 250GB matches your budget and storage target.

With 540MB/s sequential read and 97,000 IOPS random read on SATA 6Gb/s, what real-world boot and app-launch speed can I expect?

The 3-core MEX controller and 512MB DRAM cache deliver near-interface saturation on large files and snappy small-file response, cutting typical Windows boot to well under 20 seconds and launching heavy apps in a few seconds on a SATA 6Gb/s port.
