250GB mSATA drive for consumer systems

This Samsung 840 EVO MZ-MTE250BW provides 250GB of TLC storage over a SATA III interface. It targets consumer laptops or desktops with an mSATA slot. The Samsung MEX controller manages read and write operations. Low idle power of 0.055W helps battery life in portable devices.

Capacity and headroom for everyday workloads

Sequential speeds reach up to 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write. Random performance delivers up to 97,000 IOPS read and 66,000 IOPS write. The 250GB capacity suits operating systems, applications and moderate media libraries. Heavy write workloads will exhaust the TLC endurance sooner than MLC alternatives.

Slim build fits tight mSATA slots

The drive measures 3.8mm high, 30.0mm wide and 50.8mm deep, weighing 9g. This thin profile suits ultrabooks and small-form-factor boards with limited clearance. SATA III connector placement follows the mSATA standard for direct board insertion. MTBF of 1,500,000 hours and a 0°C to 70°C operating range support long service life.

Questions about this item

Will the 3.8mm mSATA form factor fit my older laptop that only has a full-size mSATA slot?

Yes. The drive follows the standard mSATA dimensions of 30.0mm width and 50.8mm depth with a 3.8mm height, so it fits any compliant full-size mSATA socket.

How can I verify the Samsung MEX controller is delivering the rated 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write speeds after installation?

Run a sequential benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark or AS SSD; fresh-out-of-box results should approach 540MB/s read and 520MB/s write on a SATA III port.

Does the MZ-MTE250BW retail package include a mounting screw or adapter bracket, or must I source them separately?

The drive ships as a bare 9g mSATA module; mounting screws and any half-to-full size adapters are not included and must be obtained separately.
