Samsung - 850 EVO 250GB Internal mSATA Solid State Drive
- 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.)
- Minimum System Requirements: N/A
- Features
- Security Features: Software
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Algorithm: AES 256-bit (The algorithm standard used to encrypt data on a device.)
- Usage: Performance 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.)

Q: What will I need to install this in a Dell 520 desktop ?
A: Use the SATA drive instead of mSATA - best buy sku 1661028 - price lower, data transfer speeds equivalent, and you should have an extra SATA connection inside your desktop case, or replace your existing HD...
Q: Can this replace a Samsung 850 EVO2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal SSD?
A: Nope! Different form factor
A: I put mine in an ACER Aspire R7-571. I am a novice at this type of work. Turns out there was a small MSata drive already in the laptop. Not sure what it was originally used for - maybe a backup copy of the settings or windows - it was about 25gb? Anyway, I left the original hard drive in place, installed this MSata in place of the small one, installed a clean version of Windows 10 and am very happy with the speed. I had to do find a few obscure settings to keep the original hard drive from spinning up at boot time even when I was booting from the MSata. Lots of help on YouTube.
