SATA 2.5" SSD for mainstream PCs

The Samsung 860 EVO MZ-M6E250 is a 250GB internal solid-state drive built for everyday computing. It connects through a standard SATA interface and fits the common 2.5-inch drive bay found in most laptops and desktops. Sequential reads reach 550 MB/s while writes reach 520 MB/s, delivering responsive boot times and application loads. V-NAND technology and an MJX controller provide consistent throughput under heavy multitasking.

Suits laptops and desktops with SATA bays

This drive suits users upgrading a SATA-equipped laptop or desktop who need reliable capacity for documents, media and operating systems. The 78 GB TurboWrite buffer sustains performance during large file transfers. Buyers whose systems only support PCIe storage should select a different drive, as this unit operates exclusively on the SATA bus. Linux compatibility is improved through enhanced queued trim support.

250GB capacity with 550 MB/s peak read

The single specification that decides fit is the 250GB capacity paired with a 550 MB/s maximum sequential read speed over SATA. This capacity covers a primary OS drive plus core applications for most mainstream workloads. The 520 MB/s write speed and upgraded endurance rating support frequent content creation tasks such as 4K video editing. Verify your device has a free 2.5-inch SATA connection before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5" SATA interface of this 860 EVO work in a laptop that currently uses a mechanical hard drive?

Yes, the 2.5 inch form factor and SATA connection match the drive bay and cable of most laptops that originally shipped with a mechanical hard drive.

How can I verify the 550 MB/s read and 520 MB/s write speeds after installing the 250GB 860 EVO?

Run a benchmark tool such as CrystalDiskMark using the default 1 GiB test file; the sequential read and write results should approach 550 MB/s and 520 MB/s respectively on a SATA 6 Gb/s port.

Does the MZ-M6E250 package include a mounting bracket or cloning software, or must I buy them separately?

The drive ships as a bare 2.5 inch unit; a 2.5 to 3.5 inch bracket and migration software are not included and must be purchased separately if required.
