250GB NVMe drive for everyday computing

The Samsung 970 EVO 250GB is an M.2 2280 internal SSD built for consumer workloads. It connects through a PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 interface using NVMe 1.3 protocol. A Samsung Phoenix controller and 512MB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM cache manage the V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory.

Capacity and headroom for OS and active projects

The 250GB capacity holds an operating system, core applications and a working set of current files comfortably. Sequential reads reach up to 3400 MBps and writes up to 1500 MBps, while 4KB random performance scales to 200,000 read IOPS and 350,000 write IOPS at QD32. Heavy sustained writes or large media libraries will exhaust the space before the endurance rating of 1,500,000 hours MTBF becomes a concern.

Fits a standard M.2 slot with modest power needs

The single-sided M.2 2280 form factor seats directly into any compatible motherboard or laptop slot without cables. Idle power draw is 30 mW maximum and active consumption averages 5.4W with a 9W burst ceiling. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 70°C, so standard case airflow is sufficient for typical desktop or notebook installations.

Questions about this item

Will the M.2 2280 970 EVO fit and run at PCIe Gen 3.0 x4 on a motherboard that only has an M.2 slot wired for PCIe Gen 2.0 x4?

The drive is backward compatible and will operate at PCIe Gen 2.0 x4 speeds, halving the theoretical bandwidth ceiling from the native 3400 MBps sequential read.

How can I confirm the Phoenix controller and NVMe 1.3 firmware are active after installation?

Open Device Manager or a tool such as Samsung Magician; the model should appear as MZ-V7E250E with NVMe 1.3 support shown and sequential-read benchmarks approaching 3400 MBps.

Does the 250 GB 970 EVO package include a heatsink, mounting screw or cloning software, or must I source them separately?

The retail box contains only the M.2 2280 drive; a motherboard standoff screw, optional heatsink and data-migration software are separate purchases.
