Samsung 860 EVO 2 TB SATA III M.2 2280 SSD

The Samsung 860 EVO 2TB SATA III M.2 2280 SSD is an internal storage drive for compatible desktop PCs and laptops. It uses the standard M.2 2280 form factor and the Serial ATA III interface, with a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbit/s. Replacing a mechanical hard drive with this SSD typically results in faster application loading and improved system responsiveness. Please verify your motherboard specifications before purchasing; this drive is not NVMe-compatible and requires a slot specifically wired for M.2 SATA. The 2TB capacity provides ample space for operating systems, software, and general file storage.

Built with Samsung V-NAND 3-bit MLC memory, this drive is designed for standard computing tasks. It features a 2,048 MB buffer to manage data streams. Long-term write performance is maintained by native TRIM functionality, which clears invalid data blocks. Error-correcting code (ECC) and S.M.A.R.T. monitoring run in the background to track drive health and help prevent data corruption. The drive also includes a hardware encryption engine supporting AES 256-bit full-disk encryption, as well as TCG/Opal and IEEE 1667 standards.

• Sequential read speed: Up to 550 MB/s for sustained file retrieval.
• Sequential write speed: Up to 520 MB/s during large data transfers.
• Random operations: 97,000 IOPS read and 88,000 IOPS write at 4KB depths.
• Endurance threshold: Up to 1,200 Terabytes Written (TBW) over the drive lifecycle.
• Component reliability: Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 1,500,000 hours.
• Power management: 4.5 W under active workloads, dropping to 3 W during idle periods.
