SAMSUNG 860 EVO M.2 2280 2TB SATA III internal SSD

SKU CH-AMT3-W91CY

2 TB SATA III M.2 2280 SSD with 3D NAND, up to 550 MB/s read, 520 MB/s write and 512 MB LPDDR4 cache

  • Up to 550 MB/s sequential read for fast boot and load times
  • Up to 520 MB/s sequential write to move large files quickly
  • 97,000 IOPS random read at QD32 for responsive multitasking
  • 88,000 IOPS random write at QD32 for sustained write workloads
  • 1,500,000-hour MTBF for long-term reliability

Form factor and capacity

The Samsung 860 EVO M.2 2280 is a 2TB internal solid state drive that uses 3D NAND flash memory and a SATA III interface. It fits the standard M.2 2280 slot and includes a 512MB LPDDR4 cache to help sustain write performance.

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

This drive suits laptops and desktops that have a SATA-based M.2 connector and need a large capacity for operating systems, applications and bulk storage. It is not for systems whose M.2 slot only accepts PCIe signalling, as the drive communicates exclusively over SATA.

SATA III interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the SATA III interface; the drive delivers up to 550 MB/s sequential read and up to 520 MB/s sequential write over that bus. If the host slot is wired for PCIe only, the drive will not be recognised.

Questions about this item

How much power does the Samsung 860 EVO M.2 2TB draw when active all day?

Active power draw is 2.2 W, while idle consumption is 50 mW. The drive operates from 0 °C to 70 °C and is rated for 1,500,000 hours MTBF.

What motherboard slot is required for the Samsung 860 EVO M.2 2TB?

It needs an M.2 2280 slot wired for SATA III. The drive uses a SATA interface, not PCIe, so the slot must support SATA signalling.

Will the Samsung 860 EVO M.2 2TB work alongside an older SATA SSD or HDD?

Yes. It connects through a standard SATA III port on the motherboard, so it can coexist with any other SATA storage device without driver conflicts.
