The Samsung 870 EVO 250 GB is a Black 2.5" internal SATA III SSD with Samsung V-NAND memory, 560 MB/s sequential read speed, 530 MB/s sequential write speed, 6 Gb/s SATA III data transfer interface, AES 256-bit hardware encryption, SATA and USB x3 connectivity, 10 x 7 x 0.7 cm dimensions and 86 g weight. Compatible with Desktop PC, Laptop and PC/Notebook 2.5" SATA drive bays. Direct mechanical hard drive replacement in any 2.5" SATA bay without modification.

560 MB/s Read + 530 MB/s Write + Samsung V-NAND + SATA III 6 Gb/s + AES 256-bit + 2.5" 7mm: The Six Samsung 870 EVO Specifications That Define Its Speed, Security and Universal Compatibility.

The 560 MB/s read and 530 MB/s write at SATA III 6 Gb/s represent the practical performance ceiling of the SATA III interface — the 870 EVO reaching the maximum sequential throughput the 6 Gb/s bandwidth of SATA III permits, meaning Windows boots in 10–15 seconds, applications open near-instantly and a 10 GB file transfers to another device in under 20 seconds from the V-NAND storage. The Samsung V-NAND memory type uses Samsung’s vertical NAND cell stacking architecture that increases storage density without reducing cell integrity — the V-NAND delivering the endurance, data retention and sustained performance consistency that conventional planar NAND cannot match at the same cell density, and that makes the Samsung 870 EVO the most reliable SATA SSD in its class for both desktop PC continuous operation and laptop mobile use. The AES 256-bit hardware encryption secures all data stored on the 870 EVO through hardware-level encryption that operates transparently without CPU performance overhead — the encryption engine built into the Samsung controller processing every read and write through AES 256-bit cipher without the software encryption performance penalty, making the 870 EVO suitable for Desktop PC and Laptop deployments in regulated or security-sensitive environments. The 2.5" internal form factor at 7mm height fits the standard 2.5" SATA drive bay in every Desktop PC drive bay tray, every Laptop 2.5" SATA slot and every PC/Notebook storage bay that accepts a standard 2.5" 7mm SATA drive — the 7mm height fitting both 7mm and 9.5mm bay depths, making the Samsung 870 EVO a direct mechanical hard drive replacement without spacers or adaptor brackets in virtually every compatible system. The SATA + USB x3 connectivity provides both internal SATA III installation and external USB connection flexibility through compatible Samsung enclosures — the 870 EVO operating as an internal SATA drive in the primary installation and connectable as an external USB drive when used with a compatible USB 3.0 enclosure for backup, migration and portable storage use cases.

Because a Desktop PC or Laptop Running on a Mechanical Hard Drive With a Modern CPU and Sufficient RAM Is Not Slow Because of the CPU or the RAM. It Is Slow Because Every File the CPU Requests From Storage Waits for a Spinning Platter and a Mechanical Read Head. The Samsung 870 EVO 250 GB Eliminates the Wait.

Identify the 2.5" SATA bay in the Desktop PC, Laptop or PC/Notebook. Remove the existing mechanical hard drive or older SSD. Install the Samsung 870 EVO 250 GB — SATA data cable to the SATA III port, SATA power cable to the PSU or laptop power rail. The 10 x 7 x 0.7 cm Black drive fits the standard 2.5" bay at 86 g without modification. Power on. Install Windows or clone the existing drive using Samsung Data Migration. SATA III delivers 6 Gb/s bandwidth. The 870 EVO reads at 560 MB/s. The 870 EVO writes at 530 MB/s. AES 256-bit hardware encryption active. V-NAND storing every file. The system that felt slow is fast. The upgrade is complete.
