• SATA is a type of connector it has nothing to do with the mechanics inside the drive. This is an SSD, there are no spinning mechanisms inside.

• Kevinbananna: The 870 EVO has no moving parts. SATA SSDs can take the form of 2.5". A 2.5" SSD is the most common size and the easiest to set up. You place it directly in a 2.5"slot and click it into the built-in SATA connector in your laptop or console. If your device supports a 2.5” SATA slot, you should have no issue connecting the 870 EVO SSD. - Samsung Memory
