Samsung 850 Evo 250GB M.2 SATA III 6Gb/s SSD

The Samsung MZ-N5E250BW is a 250GB solid state drive designed to fit into systems that use the M.2 SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It offers a reliable and efficient storage solution for notebooks, ultrabooks, and desktops where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. With sequential read speeds reaching up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 500 MB/s, this SSD helps speed up everyday tasks like booting your system, launching applications, and transferring files.

Built with Samsung’s 3D V-NAND technology, the drive provides greater storage density and improved durability compared to traditional NAND flash. The inclusion of a 512MB LPDDR3 DRAM cache ensures smoother data handling and quicker access times, which is especially useful when multitasking or working with large files. The MGX controller manages power efficiently, reducing energy consumption to just 2 mW during idle periods, making it a good choice for users who want to extend battery life in portable devices.

This SSD also supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption along with TCG Opal and IEEE1667 standards, offering an added layer of security for sensitive data. Its mean time between failures rating of 1.5 million hours reflects a strong reliability profile, making it suitable for both everyday users and professionals who need dependable storage performance.

Whether you are upgrading an older laptop, building a compact desktop, or looking for a stable boot drive, the Samsung MZ-N5E250BW provides a balance of speed, efficiency, and security in a small form factor.
