Description

Note: this 2.5-inch SSD has a SATA interface and only works if your system supports SATA. Check this in the manual of your laptop or motherboard.

The Samsung 860 PRO 256GB 2.5 inches is an internal SSD for business use. Thanks to the V-NAND technology, this 2.5-inch SSD is more reliable than the previous Samsung 850 PRO series. This SSD can handle an annual workload of up to eight times that of the Samsung 850 EVO. That's why you can use the drive to edit large files, such as graphic design projects, or use NAS to store business data. The AES 256-bit hardware encryption provides extra security of your data. This way, you ensure that hackers or web-based threats can't modify your files.

Clone the existing hard drive to the SSD with the cloning software from Samsung. Then replace the hard drive with the SSD drive. The computer started up without any problems and responded much faster.
