Description
The 500 GB tier is where DRAM-less drives usually take over on price. This one keeps the buffer, which is the difference between a machine that stays responsive through its third year and one that does not.
Key specifications
- Sequential 3500 MB/s read, 3200 MB/s write
- Random 480K / 550K IOPS (4K, QD32)
- 300 TBW endurance, 5-year limited warranty
- V-NAND TLC with 512 MB LPDDR4 DRAM cache
Where it fits
Office and point-of-sale builds where the working set is small but the machine has to last, and dual-drive systems where this carries the OS and a bulk drive carries data.
Trade notes
Retail-boxed. The most price-sensitive Samsung line held here — check the current sheet before quoting, as this tier moves with NAND spot pricing.
