Samsung 860 EVO 500GB M.2 SATA III Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-N6E500BW is a 500 GB 860 EVO solid state drive built for the M.2 slot and the SATA III interface. It serves as an easy drop-in upgrade for laptops or desktops, replacing older drives with storage that delivers quicker data access and dependable everyday performance.

Sequential read speeds reach up to 550 MB/s, while writes can climb to 520 MB/s. In practical terms, your operating system boots sooner, large applications load with less waiting, and 4K video files or complex 3D projects open smoothly. Gamers also benefit from shorter level load times, and anyone who regularly moves big files will notice faster transfers.

Samsung pairs its V-NAND flash memory with an MJX controller that balances speed and efficiency. The architecture supports endurance up to eight times higher than earlier EVO generations, so regular backups, frequent edits, and constant multitasking will not wear the drive out quickly.

Samsung Magician software, available as a free download, lets you monitor drive health, apply firmware updates, and optimize settings. For those who manage sensitive documents or client data, AES 256 bit hardware encryption can be enabled without affecting performance.

The drive works seamlessly with Windows, macOS, and most Linux distributions thanks to the standard SATA protocol. Whether you are revitalizing an aging notebook, adding storage to a compact mini-PC, or building a new workstation, installation is straightforward and the performance gain is immediate.
