Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SATA III 3D NAND 120GB Internal SSD

The Samsung MZ-M5E120BW is a 120 GB internal solid state drive designed for systems that accept the mSATA interface. Built on Samsung 3D V-NAND technology, it delivers sequential read speeds that can reach 540 MB/s and sequential write speeds up to 520 MB/s, giving older laptops, mini PCs, and desktops a noticeable boost in boot times, file transfers, and everyday responsiveness.

This drive fits naturally in situations where space and power efficiency matter. If you manage an ultra-thin notebook and want faster performance without adding weight, the low-profile mSATA design slips in easily. Home users who are rebuilding a compact PC will appreciate the silent operation and minimal heat generation, while professionals on the move can rely on quick data access and longer battery life during travel.

Samsung includes hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption that secures files without slowing transfers. Dynamic Thermal Guard monitors temperature and can throttle activity to keep components safe under heavy workloads. A five-year limited warranty underscores the drive’s reliability for long-term projects, office environments, or student laptops that need consistent speed day after day.

Setup is straightforward. The bundled Samsung Data Migration tool copies your existing operating system and files to the new drive with a few clicks, and Magician software lets you update firmware, monitor health, and fine-tune settings for maximum performance. Once installed, the 850 EVO mSATA works quietly in the background, so you can focus on productivity, content creation, or entertainment without slowdowns.
