The Samsung 850 EVO mSATA Internal Solid State Drive - 500GB features innovative 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture, breaking through density, performance, and endurance limitations of today’s conventional planar NAND architecture. Samsung 3D V-NAND stacks 32 cell layers vertically resulting in higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint.
Achieve excellent read/write performance to maximize your everyday computing experience with Samsung’s TurboWrite technology. You can obtain up to 2x faster random read write speeds than the award-winning Samsung 840 EVO. The 850 EVO delivers class-leading performance1 in sequential read (540MB/s) and write (520MB/s) speeds. Plus, gain optimized random performance in all QD for better real-world performance.
Samsung’s Magician software enables RAPID Mode for up to 2x faster performance2 by utilizing unused PC memory (DRAM) as a high-speed cache. The newest version of Samsung Magician supports up to a 4 GB cache on a system with 16 GB of DRAM.
The 850 EVO doubles the endurance3 and reliability4 compared to the previous generation 840 EVO4 and features a class-leading 5-year warranty5. With enhanced long-term reliability, the 850 EVO assures long-term dependable performance of up to 30% longer than the previous generation 840 EVO.
This drive also delivers significantly longer battery life on your notebook6 with a controller designed and optimized for 3D V-NAND that supports Device Sleep for Windows at a highly efficient 2mW. The 850 EVO supports 25% better power efficiency than the 840 EVO during write operations thanks to ultra-efficient 3D V-NAND only consuming 50% less energy than that of traditional Planar 2D NAND.
The 850 EVO comes fortified with the latest hardware-based full disk encryption engine. The AES 256-bit hardware encryption secures data without any performance degradation and complies with TCG Opal 2.0. Easily integrate into Windows with Microsoft e-drive IEEE-1667 to keep your data protected at all times.
The 850 EVO’s Dynamic Thermal Guard constantly monitors and maintains ideal temperatures for the drive to operate in optimal conditions to ensure the integrity of your data. The Thermal Guard automatically throttles temperatures down when temperatures rise above optimal critical threshold. This protects your data while maintaining responsiveness to help ensure your computer is always safe from overheating.
Migrate your data with ease. With the One-Stop Install Navigator, Samsung Data Migration and Magician software are installed simultaneously for your convenience to ensure that your SSD settings are optimized for an efficient data transfer.
