Samsung MZ-N5E250BW

Overview

The Samsung MZ-N5E250BW is a 250GB solid state drive designed for systems using the M.2 SATA III 6Gb/s interface. It delivers fast sequential read speeds up to 540 MB/s and write speeds up to 500 MB/s, making it an excellent choice for improving boot times, application launches, and file transfers. Its compact form factor fits well in notebooks, ultrabooks, and desktops where space is limited but performance remains a priority.

Equipped with Samsung’s 3D V-NAND technology, this SSD offers enhanced storage density and durability compared to traditional NAND flash. The 512MB LPDDR3 DRAM cache supports smoother data handling, which benefits multitasking and working with large files. Additionally, the MGX controller optimizes power consumption, reducing it to just 2 mW during idle, helping extend battery life in portable devices.

Security is also a focus, with AES 256-bit hardware encryption and support for TCG Opal and IEEE1667 standards, protecting sensitive data effectively. Its mean time between failures rating of 1.5 million hours underscores its reliability for both everyday users and professionals.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
