Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA Solid State Drive for Laptops and PC
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

- Compatibility
- Internal Or External: Internal
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)
- Bare Drive: true (Drive is sold without any pre-installed software.)
- Features
- Security Features: None
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Algorithm: AES 256 bit (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Everyday computing
- Memory
- Cache Buffer Size: 512 megabytes (The data capacity of the cache buffer (or disk buffer) that acts as temporary memory for the drive. The cache holds the most recently and frequently used data to save the drive the extra step of pulling it from permanent storage every time it's needed, which helps increase the drive's overall speed.)
- NAND Flash Memory Type: V-NAND (Single Level Cell (SLC) stores 1 bit of data per memory cell; Multi Level Cell (MLC) stores 2 bits per cell, Triple Level Cell (TLC) 3 bits, and Quad Level Cell (QLC) 4 bits. Vertical NAND (V-NAND) or 3D NAND stores more data by layering cells vertically. Similarly, there are 3D MLC, 3D TLC and 3D QLC stacked cells.)
- Dimensions
- Product Height: 0.27 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
- Product Width: 3.94 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)

Q: How do you install it? Can I simply put it in and then use my Toshiba Recovery Media?
A: You will need a sata to usb adapter (Best Buy sells them in store) and the drive comes with a cd with software that copies your existing hard disk to the samsung ssd. If you aren't comfortable doing that the Geek Squad can do it for you.
Q: Will this work with mac os x
A: Yes, this SSD will fit in that model MacBook. It will not be TRIM-enabled unless you use 3rd party software (only Mac factory drives are TRIM-enabled), but do NOT enable TRIM. TRIM has been proven completed unnecessary and won't add any performance improvement.
Q: Does this SSD work in a Macbook pro 13 inch late 2011?
A: It should work fine. As long as it has a SATA connection. I've replaced many mechanical HDD's on macbooks with SSD's. it's the easiest thing to do for a performance boost. On a mac though you might have TRIM issues. I've purchased third party TRIM applications in the past to keep the drive at optimum performance. I have not reviewed TRIM compatibility lately with the latest version of the OSX. I remember about a year ago having to tweak my preferences and security to get the trim app working.I'm about to purchase this same drive for my daughters 2011 macbook pro. I'm sure it will be fine.
Q: I have a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop. Is it compatible with this SSD?
A: as long as it uses a 2.5" sata drive it will fit in fine. Searching online Dell offered this laptop with an SSD option so it likely uses the same connector. You could always just open up your laptop or look online for instructions on how to do it. View the instruction video and you will see whether it's a 2.5" Sata connector.
Q: can this be installed in a toshiba satellite?
A: I put one in mine and I love it!
A: Yes, this will work on your computer.
A: While it is possible, it's not recommended. You will wind up filling your new SSD up with a bunch of unnecessary stuff. Your best bet for a desktop is to do a clean install of the OS on the SSD and use your 1TB HDD as your added storage space. Of course, apps will have to be reinstalled, but at least your data will still be intact.
Q: will this work on desktop even tho it says for laptop????
A: Yes it will, i use mine in a gaming computer!
