SATA SSDs: what to check before buying

Find a SATA SSD for your existing drive bay. Compare capacity, physical fit and included items before ordering.

Match a 2.5-inch SATA SSD to your computer

A 2.5-inch SATA SSD needs a compatible SATA connection and suitable mounting space. Check the laptop service manual or desktop specifications for the supported drive thickness and mounting arrangement. A desktop installation may also require a SATA data cable, power connection or bracket; check which parts you already have.

Compare capacity, packaging and price

Choose enough capacity for your operating system, applications and files, with room to grow. Compare the exact Samsung model and packaging description as well as the price. A white-box listing should be checked separately for included accessories and applicable warranty details; packaging alone does not establish what is supplied.

SATA SSDs FAQs
Will a SATA SSD fit my laptop?

Only if the laptop supports that drive format and interface. Check the service manual for a 2.5-inch SATA bay, thickness and connector requirements.

Can I install a 2.5-inch SATA SSD in an M.2 slot?

No. A 2.5-inch SATA drive does not physically fit an M.2 slot. Select the format and protocol supported by your computer.

What does SATA III mean?

SATA III refers to the SATA 6 Gb/s interface generation. It is an interface rating, not a promise that file transfers will reach that rate; actual performance depends on the drive and system.

Are a SATA cable and mounting bracket included?

Do not assume so. Review the included-items section of the exact listing and the installation parts required by your computer.
