SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500 GB mSATA internal SSD

SKU CH-FN35-2RP7A

A 500 GB mSATA SATA SSD delivering 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes with a 78 GB TurboWrite buffer

  • Form FactormSATA
  • Capacity500GB
  • Consistent speed under heavy workloads with sequential reads up to 550 MB/s
  • Faster file transfers from sequential writes up to 520 MB/s
  • Larger TurboWrite buffer of 78 GB boosts sustained write performance
  • Higher endurance rated up to 8x the TBW of the 850 EVO
  • Refined ECC and MJX controller improve Linux compatibility

Trusted SATA SSD for mainstream PCs

The Samsung 860 EVO 500 GB mSATA drive is built for everyday desktops and laptops that need a reliable SATA upgrade. It uses V-NAND technology and an MJX controller to deliver consistent speeds under heavy workloads and multi-tasking.

mSATA form factor with upgraded TurboWrite

The mSATA connector fits compatible laptop and small-form-factor slots directly. The Intelligent TurboWrite buffer grows from 12 GB to 78 GB, so sustained write performance holds up during large file moves and 4K video work.

SATA interface limits and endurance

Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s and writes 520 MB/s, the practical ceiling of the SATA 6 Gb/s link. Endurance is rated up to 8x higher TBW than the 850 EVO, and a refined ECC algorithm plus queued TRIM improve Linux compatibility.

Questions about this item

What does the SATA interface limit the 860 EVO to in real-world throughput?

The SATA interface caps sequential reads at 550 MB/s and writes at 520 MB/s, so the 860 EVO cannot exceed those figures regardless of workload.

What physical slot and form factor does the 500 GB 860 EVO require?

It uses the mSATA form factor and needs a dedicated mSATA slot on the motherboard or an adapter; it will not fit M.2 or 2.5-inch bays.

How is the 860 EVO installed, and which step is often missed?

Insert the drive into the mSATA slot at an angle, press down, and secure it with the retention screw; the step often missed is fastening that screw, which keeps the drive from lifting under thermal cycling.
