Overview
This is a 512GB 2.5" SSD on the SATA interface. At roughly $0.15 per gigabyte it sits in the mid-range tier. Sequential throughput tops out at 550 MB/s reads and 520 MB/s writes. SATA throughput caps near 550 MB/s — fine for game libraries and backups, slower for heavy scratch work.
Its $79.00 price tag places it squarely in mid-range territory. PlanMyPC's builder flags compatibility problems automatically and tracks the latest drive deals from multiple stores. Warranty coverage follows Samsung's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing. The full specification sheet below breaks out every listed detail, and the compatibility checker flags conflicts with parts already in your build.
