Samsung 850 PRO 256 GB Desktop, Laptop SATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-7KE256BW)  (Interface: SATA)

You can kick up the read/write performance when you need it with the RAPID mode. Just like shifting gears in a car, the Magician software gives you the option to enhance performance by processing data on a system level using free PC memory (DRAM) as a cache.

The 850 PRO will keep working as long as you do. Samsung's V-NAND technology is built to handle 150 Terabytes Written (TBW) which equates to a 40 GB daily read/write workload over a 10-year period.

The efficient, power management components in the 850 PRO enable you work longer and more productively. Boasting the lowest power consumption of any SSD when in full use, the 850 PRO expends less energy while maintaining market-leading performance. The 850 PRO fully supports the sleep mode on the Ultrabook, consuming only 2 mW of power.

The 850 PRO's SED technology includes an AES-256-bit hardware-based, full disk encryption engine that secures your data without the usual performance degradation and complies with the TCG Opal v2.0 standards, protecting PSID. It is also compatible with the Microsoft eDrive IEEE 1667 protocol.

The 850 PRO's Dynamic Thermal Guard monitors and maintains the drive's optimal operating temperature and automatically drops the SSD's temperature when necessary to protect your data and ensure responsiveness.

One-stop Install Navigator software allows you to migrate all the data from your SSD or HDD to the 850 PRO easily using three simple steps. Plus, you can maximize performance with the Samsung Magician software for convenient management.

Unlike most manufacturers, Samsung designs all SSD components in-house allowing complete optimization. The result - enhanced performance, lower power consumption and improved energy-efficiency.
