is the Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD MZ-N5E250BW (M.2 SATA) a good ssd for its kind?
I'm planning to buy it righr now so i need an opinion please

Yes. It's the best SATA ssd out there.

Sure. It's no better than the SATA version, same speeds. But it is a fine drive.

Dunlop0078 :

i think m.2 is better than regular SATA because it's faster

rgd1101 · Sep 26, 2017

The interface is still sata. m.2 is just the connection slot.

But i heard m.2 is better than mSATA, that the connection si more modern and maybe faster

Then which one is the best? SATA, mSATA PCI, or m.2?

Dunlop0078 · Sep 26, 2017

The 850 EVO uses the SATA interface it's speeds will be same regardless of if you get the SATA or M.2 version. The 850 evo's M.2 version even though it is plugged in via M.2 still uses the SATA interface therefore it is limited to SATA 3 speeds.

If you want an M.2 drive that will actually take advantage of the extra bandwidth of the pcie interface then you need to look at something like the 960 evo.

How about mSATA? it seems cheaper than m.2 ssd.of same capacity Is there a crucial difference?

Dunlop0078 · Sep 26, 2017

decameron118 :

There is no difference between any of the 850 evo's in terms of performance, I don't know how many more times we can say this. I would not get the mSATA version, that is a dying interface future motherboards may not even have.

Didn't want to get u mad. So if the speed the same in all of them is it best to get a regular SATA SSD?
Right now im considering SSD WD Blue (2.5", 500GB, SATA III 6 Gb/s (Westerndigital)
