500 GB SATA SSD for daily computing

This Samsung 850 EVO delivers 500 GB of internal storage through a 2.5-inch 7 mm SATA drive. It uses Samsung V-NAND technology and TurboWrite to reach sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s. Random read and write IOPS hit 98K and 90K respectively for responsive everyday performance.

Suits Windows or Linux PCs with a 2.5-inch SATA bay

The drive works with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 and Linux in both 32 and 64-bit versions. RAPID mode can use unused system memory as cache to boost data processing speeds. Only the SSD and a user manual are included; cables, screws and brackets are not supplied.

SATA III 6 Gb/s interface decides compatibility

Your motherboard or laptop must provide a standard SATA III port and a 2.5-inch 7 mm drive bay. If the system only accepts M.2 or PCIe storage, this drive will not fit. Verify the physical slot and interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

What SATA interface does the 850 EVO 500GB use, and what is the practical speed limit?

The 850 EVO 500GB uses a SATA III (6GB/s) interface. In practice, sequential reads reach up to 540 MB/s and writes up to 520 MB/s, which is the effective ceiling of the SATA III bus.

What physical space and mounting points does the 2.5-inch 850 EVO 500GB require?

The drive is a 2.5-inch form factor with a 7 mm height. It fits standard 2.5-inch drive bays or caddies; no brackets or screws are included in the box.

How is the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB installed, and what step is often missed?

Connect the drive to a SATA data cable and a SATA power cable, then secure it in a 2.5-inch bay. The step often missed is enabling RAPID mode in Samsung Magician software to use system memory as cache for faster performance.
