Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal SATA 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.)

- Security Features: None
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Algorithm: AES 256 bit Encryption, TCG/Opal, IEEE1667 (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.)

- Owner's manual
Q: Does it work on a 2014 macbook air
A: No it will not. Apple uses a custom connector not a standard m2
Q: Does it works on Acer Aspire E5-553G-1986?
A: Check your laptop's spec to see whether it support M.2 drive. This is not a normal 2.5in solid state drive that's seen on most of the systems.
A: Yes, this drive will work with the Alienware 17.
Q: Can this SSD drive fit on my Asus ROG Strix 502VM (Kaby Lake) laptop?
A: Yes, See my review. I installed in my new ASUS Stix. Always check the specs online for any device you intend to purchase.
A: Check your product specifications online. Best Buy specs are pretty general and do not always give details. However, I do believe that this product line does have an M2 slot.
Q: Is this unit appropriate for my Dell XPS9350?
A: undefined
Q: Accidentally bought this for a desktop. Does that work?
A: We appreciate you reaching out! While it is designed to be used fro a Laptop, as long as it meets your PC specifications it will also work on a PC. We hope this answers your question and helps you with your purchase decisions. ^Rod
