Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 SATA SSD

This Samsung 860 EVO is a 500GB internal solid-state drive built in the M.2 2280 form factor. It connects through a SATA 6Gb/s interface and uses Multi-Level Cell flash memory. The drive delivers a maximum read transfer rate of 550 MB/s and a maximum write transfer rate of 520 MB/s.

Suits SATA M.2 slots; not for PCIe-only boards

This drive suits laptops or desktops that have an M.2 slot wired for SATA signalling. It will not operate in slots that are wired exclusively for PCIe signalling. Buyers should verify their motherboard or laptop manual confirms SATA support for the M.2 socket before purchase.

SATA 6Gb/s interface determines compatibility

The single specification that decides fitment is the SATA 6Gb/s interface. An M.2 2280 connector alone does not guarantee this drive will work; the slot must run SATA protocol. Check the system documentation for SATA M.2 support to ensure the 860 EVO will be recognised.

Questions about this item

Will this M.2 2280 SATA drive work in a laptop that only has a 2.5-inch SATA bay?

No, the M.2 2280 form factor requires a dedicated M.2 slot keyed for SATA; it will not fit a 2.5-inch bay without an adapter.

Can I keep my old 2.5-inch SATA drive installed while adding this 860 EVO?

Yes, if your motherboard has both a free M.2 SATA slot and a free 2.5-inch SATA port, both drives can run at the same time.

How can I verify the drive is delivering the rated 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds after setup?

Run a SATA benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark; sequential results should approach 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write on a SATA 6 Gb/s link.
