Samsung 850 EVO 250GB mSATA SATA III SSD

The Samsung MZ-M5E250BW is a 250 GB solid state drive that slips into an mSATA slot and communicates through the SATA III interface. It brings the well-known 850 EVO performance to ultrabooks, small form factor PCs, and standard desktops that offer an mSATA connector.

This drive is a practical upgrade for anyone who needs fast boot times, quick application launches, or a responsive work environment without adding a 2.5 inch bay. A photographer can keep large RAW files moving smoothly in a travel-friendly notebook, while a desktop user can dedicate the drive to scratch space for video editing or virtual machines.

Samsung implements 3D V-NAND technology that stacks 32 layers of cells, improving both efficiency and endurance. TurboWrite accelerates everyday operations with sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, so copying a full-length movie or a project folder takes only seconds.

When extra speed is needed, RAPID mode can use unused system memory for additional caching. Dynamic Thermal Guard monitors temperature to keep the drive in a safe operating range, protecting data during long or intensive workloads. Hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption secures sensitive information without reducing performance, and a five-year limited warranty adds confidence for the long haul.
