Samsung 850 EVO 120GB M.2 SATA III SSD

The Samsung MZ-N5E120BW is a 120GB solid state drive that uses the M.2 form factor and a SATA III interface. It brings the dependable performance of the 850 EVO series to slim notebooks, ultrabooks, and space-conscious desktops without adding weight or clutter.

Sequential read speeds reach up to 540 MB/s and write speeds top out at 500 MB/s, so operating systems boot faster, applications launch quickly, and large files transfer with much less waiting compared with a mechanical hard drive.

Samsung 3D V-NAND flash works with a controller designed for power efficiency to deliver consistent performance while drawing less power, a benefit that can extend battery life on portable systems.

TurboWrite technology accelerates short burst transfers, and the optional Rapid Mode software can allocate a portion of system memory as an additional cache. A built-in 512 MB DDR3 cache on the drive itself keeps multitasking smooth under heavier workloads.

An integrated AES 256-bit hardware encryption engine safeguards sensitive data without the performance penalty that software-based encryption often introduces. Because the drive contains no moving parts, it operates silently and withstands everyday bumps and vibration.

Whether you are upgrading an older laptop, outfitting a newer ultrabook, or building a compact desktop that needs responsive storage, the 850 EVO M.2 offers a straightforward and reliable way to improve speed and efficiency.
