Its ultra-low 2.4W power draw maximizes energy efficiency, while RAPID mode software boosts performance by using spare RAM as cache. Compatible with most laptops and desktops, this 2.5-inch SSD is the ultimate plug-and-play upgrade for faster boot times, smoother multitasking, and long-term reliability.

## Description

Unlock Your Computer's Potential: Samsung's 850 EVO series SSD is the industry's 1 best selling SSD and is perfect for everyday computing. Powered by Samsung's V NAND technology, the 850 EVO transforms the everyday computing experience with optimized performance and endurance. Designed to fit desktop PCs, laptops, and ultrabooks, the 850 EVO comes in a wide range of capacities and form factors. Uncompromised Performance: The 850 EVO optimizes performance for your daily computing tasks, boasting sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s with TurboWrite technology and sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s. Plus, RAPID mode to further boost performance for up to 2x faster data processing speeds by utilizing unused PC memory as cache storage.

Review: The Perfect Performance Upgrade for Any Laptop or Desktop - The Samsung 850 EVO series is legendary, and the 250GB model is arguably the single best upgrade you can make to any computer still running an old mechanical hard drive (HDD). Even years after its release, this drive remains a benchmark for reliability and SATA performance. This drive is the quintessential choice for an Operating System (OS) drive and primary gaming library. Why the 850 EVO is a Winner V-NAND Endurance: The biggest innovation here is Samsung’s 3D V-NAND flash memory. Unlike older, flat NAND, the vertical stacking significantly improved reliability and longevity. The 75 TBW (Total Bytes Written) rating gives incredible peace of mind for heavy daily use. Blazing SATA Speed: With sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 520 MB/s, boot times are reduced to mere seconds, and applications launch instantly. The speed difference from an HDD is transformative—it makes your whole system feel brand new. RAPID Mode & Magician Software: Samsung’s software suite adds tremendous value. The Magician software is easy to use for maintenance and firmware updates. Even better, the RAPID mode feature (Windows only) uses your PC's spare RAM as a high-speed cache, providing a noticeable performance boost for frequently accessed files. Easy Installation: The standard 2.5-inch form factor and SATA III interface make it plug-and-play compatible with almost all laptops and desktop PCs. The included Data Migration tool simplifies the process of cloning your old drive onto the SSD. A Note on Modern Context It's important to remember this is a SATA drive, meaning its speeds are capped around 550 MB/s due to the SATA bus limitation. If your motherboard supports the M.2 NVMe interface, you can get speeds 5 to 10 times faster. However, for 90% of everyday tasks and gaming load times, the difference between a SATA SSD and an NVMe SSD is negligible. The Final Say: If you are upgrading an older laptop or desktop, or simply want a supremely reliable, fast, and feature-rich SATA SSD that will last for years, you cannot go wrong with the Samsung 850 EVO. It is, quite simply, one of the best SATA SSDs ever made.
Review: Would buy three times more. Best way to get easy, cheap, performance out of your PC - There are many people out there that can go extremely in-depth with this SSD but I'm planning on just skimming the surface for those who don't know what this product is. SSD? Whats that? An SSD (Solid State Drive) is a storage device for a PC. Its just like a normal Hard Drive but different. A HDD (Hard Disk Drive) works by having a piece of metal spin in circles and there is a small reader and writer arm like that of a record player. As you could imagine that would degrade and parts would break, and that's what happens. A SSD aims to get rid of those problems by storing data digitally rather than mechanically. If you have ever seen what RAM looks like, it uses the same technology for storage. This means that the SSD will not slow down over time, has a longer life-span, and also is faster. This leads to a higher cost of course but over the past three years prices have dropped massively to the point that buying one is no big deal. Should this replace my existing HDD? No, definitely not. While it is faster and better it still cannot hold the same storage capacity as a normal HDD. Unless everything your doing the cloud-based and you have next to no programs or files on your PC, keep your HDD. What SSD's are currently intended to be used for is a boot drive or for video editing. A normal HDD would take 1-2 minutes or more to boot your PC up, however with my PC with this SSD it takes 15 seconds max to boot, log in, and open chrome. Also if you do video editing it makes your loading and exporting times much shorter and time is money. What a HDD would be used for is storing your games, most programs, and any documents / pictures. It will take a while to get used to storing stuff on a different hard drive and not spamming the next button on all installers, but its worth it. Whats all this 3D V-Nand stuff that they are advertising? Words. That's all it is. You don't need to do any research about their technologies or software. All it means is that its an SSD and its trying to look fancy. I'm a gamer. What does this mean for me? Good. I'm a gamer too. This means nothing for you, it does not equate to more FPS or shorter loading times. I found that when upgrading my CPU I saw a lot more performance. Focus mainly on a CPU or GPU if you want better performance. Does that mean that you should not buy it? Of course not! This can make loading programs such as Chrome and your OS boots faster. AKA you can get to gaming sooner. So, Should I buy this? Yes, its one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get more performance and lifetime out of a PC. If you need help installing it feel free to ask me a question or watch one of the many tutorials out there online.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still a solid SSD upgrade for older systems
*by E***S on September 26, 2025*

Still a solid SSD upgrade for older systems The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB has been around for years, but it remains one of the most reliable SATA SSDs I’ve used. Installation was quick and simple—just swap it into the 2.5" bay, connect SATA and power, and the system recognized it immediately. For older desktops and laptops still running on mechanical hard drives, the performance jump is dramatic. Boot times, program launches, and overall responsiveness are night-and-day better. Samsung’s reputation for durability shows here. Even after extended use, the drive runs cool and hasn’t shown signs of slowing down. The included Samsung Magician software is a nice bonus for firmware updates and basic optimization, though not essential if you just want to plug and play. At 250GB, capacity is on the smaller side by today’s standards, but it’s perfect for a boot drive paired with a larger HDD, or for reviving an older laptop where storage needs aren’t huge. Bottom line: A dependable, fast, and proven SSD that gives new life to aging machines—well worth it if you want a budget-friendly way to boost performance.
