Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 500GB: Detailed description
The Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 500GB is a high-performance solid-state disk (SSD) specifically designed for use in compact and performance-oriented environments. Here are the comprehensive details about this SSD:
Description
The Samsung 850 EVO mSATA is one of Samsung's first mSATA SSDs, featuring a high storage capacity of 500GB and its use of V-NAND technology. This SSD is designed for use in laptops, ultrabooks, and other devices that require a compact form factor but still want to offer high performance.
Technical details
1. Capacity:
- 500 GB – The SSD offers a generous storage capacity of 500 gigabytes, which provides enough space for operating systems, applications, data and multimedia files.
2. Form factor:
- mSATA – The SSD uses the mSATA form factor, which is more compact than the standard 2.5-inch SSDs. This makes it ideal for ultra-slim laptops and devices with limited space.
3. Interface:
- mSATA – The mSATA interface allows a direct connection to the SATA bus, enabling a high data transfer rate but based on a smaller form factor than the standard SATA interface.
4. Storage technology:
- V-NAND (3D NAND) – The SSD uses Samsung's V-NAND technology, which offers higher density and performance compared to traditional 2D NAND chips. This results in better performance and durability.
5. Controllers:
- Samsung MGX Controller – The integrated MGX controller offers high performance and efficiency through optimized data processing and lower power consumption.
6. Data transfer rate:
- Read: Up to 540 MB/s
- Write: Up to 520 MB/s
- These transfer rates provide excellent performance for fast boot times and data transfers.
7. Reliability:
- MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Over 1.5 million hours – This demonstrates the high reliability and long service life of the SSD.
8. Service life and wear protection:
- TRIM Support – Optimizes SSD performance and lifespan by regularly cleaning up the drive.
- Wear-Leveling – Ensures that writes are evenly distributed across all memory cells to maximize the lifespan of the SSD.
9. Security features:
- AES 256-bit hardware encryption – Provides security features to protect sensitive data through hardware-assisted encryption.
10. Energy consumption:
- Energy Efficiency – The SSD is energy efficient and uses less power than traditional hard drives, extending the battery life of laptops and other mobile devices.
Functions
1. High speed:
- With fast read and write speeds, the 850 EVO mSATA SSD offers excellent performance for faster system boot, short application loading times and efficient data transfers.
2. Compact form factor:
- The mSATA form factor enables space-saving integration into ultra-thin devices where traditional 2.5-inch SSDs would not fit.
3. Durability and reliability:
- By using V-NAND technology and advanced anti-wear mechanisms, the SSD offers long life and reliable performance.
4. Energy efficiency:
- Low power consumption, extending laptop battery life and improving overall energy efficiency.
5. Data encryption:
- Hardware-based encryption protects data from unauthorized access and ensures the security of sensitive information.
Areas of application
1. Ultrabooks and laptops:
- Ideal for use in slim and lightweight laptops where the mSATA form factor is required to save space while providing high performance.
2. Compact computers:
- Suitable for compact desktop PCs or other devices that require a small form factor for storage.
3. Upgrade devices:
- Perfect for upgrading older laptops or ultrabooks to improve system performance and reduce boot and load times.
4. Mobile devices:
- Ideal for mobile devices as the high energy efficiency extends battery life and the SSD is optimized for use in devices with limited space.
5. Data-intensive applications:
- For applications that require high data transfer rates, such as video editing or large databases, the SSD offers excellent performance.
Summary
The Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSATA 500GB offers excellent performance and capacity in a compact mSATA form factor. It uses advanced V-NAND technology and the MGX controller to ensure fast data transfer rates and reliable performance. This SSD is ideal for use in ultrabooks, laptops and other compact devices that require high performance and energy efficiency.
