- Key Specs
- Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes (Measured in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB), this is the amount available for storing files, music, movies, photos and more. The total includes the capacity of the hard disk drive and solid state drive if both are included on the computer.)
- 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.)
- Maximum Read Speed: 560 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can read information; for example, opening files.)
- Maximum Write Speed: 530 megabytes per second (The greatest speed at which the device can write information; for example, saving files.)
- Form Factor: 2.5 in.
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Reliable and VERY fast!
I’ve used the same drive so far I’ve gotten in 2 daily use tech items. The first was an HP ProDesk mini desktop computer and the second is PS4 slim I got to replace our living room streaming Blu ray player. It’s fantastic so far. I have only had good experiences with Samsung Drives and now they are in all of my computers. The HP, running windows 11, is muuuuuch slower without a reliable drive. It boots up so quickly! Windows can run flawlessly all day. The PlayStation 4 Slim is running crisp and snappy. It didn’t seem to like system update 13.0.0 very much with its old Hitachi HDD. I had another already with a 4tb Samsung QVO which had no problems with so I went ahead and put this 500gb EVO in… no issues at all! My Mac Mini from late 2014 still does so much as daily driver, and it’s got 1tb 860 from 6-7 years ago in it. Great drives! I found it easy to work with as well. Migrates Operating Systems and formats/erases with ease! These will make you rethink getting a new computer… for under $100!

Top-Tier SSD — Fast, Silent, and Reliable
I picked this up specifically to use as an external drive for my old Wii U (paired with a SATA-to-USB adapter), and it’s been nothing short of perfect. Fast load times, smooth installs, and rock-solid stability — even during big game transfers. Absolutely no interference, no disconnects, and no overheating. This drive is also whisper-quiet and power-efficient, which makes it great for consoles, media servers, or any custom setup. Samsung’s reliability speaks for itself, and this 870 EVO lives up to the hype. If you want a plug-and-play SSD that performs flawlessly across the board, this is the one to get — whether it’s for modern PC builds or breathing new life into old hardware.
