Samsung 860 EVO 250GB M.2 SATA III SSD

The Samsung MZ-N6E250BW is a 250GB solid state drive that connects through a SATA III interface in an M.2 size. It delivers sequential read speeds up to 550 megabytes per second and write speeds up to 520 megabytes per second, giving notebooks and desktops quick start-ups, rapid file transfers, and short application load times.

The slim M.2 design allows the drive to fit naturally inside ultrabooks, small form factor PCs, and many motherboards that include a spare M.2 SATA slot. If you are refreshing an older laptop, building a quiet media center, or adding a fast scratch disk to a creative workstation, this drive offers storage that is both speedy and straightforward to install.

Samsung uses V NAND cells together with an MJX controller to provide stable performance and improved endurance. The V NAND design can write significantly more data over the lifetime of the drive compared with earlier generations, which is helpful for users who work with large 4K video projects or sizable photo libraries.

Management and security tools are available through the free Samsung Magician software. The dashboard lets you install firmware updates, run performance checks, and enable AES 256 bit hardware encryption so private files stay protected without sacrificing speed.
