MZ-N6E500BW Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SATA M.2 2280 Consumer SSD

High-Density M.2 2280 SATA SSD for OS and edge platforms with the MZ-N6E500BW

The MZ-N6E500BW is an internal M.2 2280 SATA SSD engineered for predictable boot and application responsiveness in client, notebook, and compact edge systems where 2.5-inch bays are unavailable. Its 500GB 3D NAND TLC architecture with the Samsung MJX controller and dedicated DRAM cache supports stable QoS for OS paging, application launch patterns, and read-heavy profiles that benefit from consistent low-latency access.

By using the SATA protocol over an M.2 (B+M Key) connector, the MZ-N6E500BW integrates cleanly into platforms that reserve PCIe lanes for networking, accelerators, or high-speed NVMe tiers. This makes it a practical architectural choice for branch appliances, micro-servers, and SFF desktops requiring a compact system volume without complicating PCIe topology. Sequential throughput up to 550MB/s read and 520MB/s write, with strong 4K IOPS, aligns well to VDI endpoints, lightweight database caches, and encrypted endpoint storage.

Why Choose the MZ-N6E500BW?

The MZ-N6E500BW delivers a balanced density-to-performance profile for enterprise fleets that standardize on M.2 SATA boot media while maintaining reliability and lifecycle governance. With 300TBW endurance, 1.5M-hour MTBF, and low typical power draw, the MZ-N6E500BW supports scalable deployment in thermally constrained chassis and remote locations with limited service windows.

Samsung designs the 860 EVO platform with controller, firmware, and NAND integration to sustain consistent behavior under mixed client workloads, emphasizing data integrity, power efficiency, and compatibility with modern endpoint and edge hardware standards.

Key Applications:

• OS and application boot volumes
• Edge and branch SFF systems
• Encrypted endpoint storage
• Read-optimized data sets and caches
• VDI and thin-client persistence
