Questions about Samsung 860 Evo

If you mean the PCIe then yes.

Interface M.2 !!! / transfer protocol SATA3 - do not confuse with SATA interface! https://www.samsung.com/de/memory-storage/sata-ssd/860-evo-sata-3-m-2-ssd-250gb-mz-n6e250bw/

Hello, I have filtered out USB to M.2 SATA for you, here you go: https://icybox.de/product-list.php?id=1&filterItemCodes%5B%5D=G54-F195&filterItemCodes%5B%5D=G55-F198&filterItemCodes%5B%5D=G57-F206&page=1 Sincerely R.Lehr

Hoi - The connection between the SSD and the hub is OK, firm and correct (if necessary, check the contacts (in the slot as well). The USB connection is also firm and correct (physically OK? check the connection). If you have already checked this... Turn the USB-C cable 180° (both sides separately). Do you have another computer available? If so, test it there... - That would be my first approach.

For this question, please look at the specification of the PC. If the "slot" matches the specification of the SSD, it is no problem to replace it. The advantage with Samsung is that a programme is provided with which the old SSD can be easily cloned onto the new one. This is very advantageous if the SSD is used as drive C.

Basically, with the appropriate software, it already works as you described. But what do you do with the old SSD? A "USB adapter" can also be an external housing where you can, for example, insert the old SSD after the exchange with the new one, which you otherwise no longer need. This way you have a big and fast USB stick. Icy Box IB-1818-U31 (M.2 2230, M.2 2242, M.2 2260) By the way, the SSD selected here is a SATA / AHCI version. Is that what you need? Because there are NVMe versions of SSDs. Both are not compatible with each other and must fit the laptop.

Hi, Yes it's compatible. Have a nice day

oh good question, unfortunately I don't even have a Mac of recent vintage so I don't know, sorry. The best thing to do is to read your Macbook manual if you still have it and look for what was installed there, but if it's that old, i.e. already 9 years old, I think it still runs with a normal hard drive, i.e. a 2.5 inch one, and then it definitely won't fit in here. Greetings Kaele

Yes, that fits.

Unfortunately not.

It is normal that this does not work. It doesn't work because the SSD and the enclosure are not compatible. It is not because of the computers. SSD is AHCI/SATA Enclosure is NVMe But both have to work with the same protocol. So swap SSD or enclosure.

Hello Markus, you also had the 840 on an AHCI SATA port! I am of the opinion that the NVME protocol is supported! This is also supported by the fact that the NVMe's are mentioned on the "Crucial page" for your board! see here: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/asus/h97m-e All clear!? ;-) Greetings, Andreas

Hello Mimmo, the mz-nln2560 is an M.2 2280 with AHCI (SATA) protocol. This also applies to the 860 EVO! So it works as you suspected and wanted! Have fun & LG

Just because an SSD is connected via M.2 does not automatically mean that the SSD is fast. The 860 EVO M.2 uses AHCI (=slow) as data protocol and not NVMe (=fast). This does not show on an M.2. The 860 EVO Basic in the 2.5" version uses AHCI because it is connected via SATA data cable (max 560 MB/s). Besides the difference in the data protocol (AHCI vs NVMe), the 860s also have slower memory components in order to be able to offer the lower price. Such storage is sufficient as a data grave, but you should not use it as a system disk with Windows on it just to save a few francs. And be careful. Not all M.2 slots on mainboards support both protocols (AHCI and NVMe). You should therefore check before buying whether they can be used at all.

Hello, yes that fits.

Hello, unfortunately no screw included.

Hello, unfortunately no.

Yes it should work as the Board has 2 x M.2 Socket with M Key

Unfortunately, I have not found a data sheet for your old M.2 hard disk. In my opinion, they are compatible with each other. Both have the B&M key and visually both have the 2280 mass. If your notebook doesn't have the latest protocols and encryption, then you just can't use the full performance. That is the only thing. Just remember the ESD regulations when you open the notebook.

The SSD mentioned above is used in a Lenovo notebook, hence the M.2 2280 version. Whether the PC can also handle this SATA version and recognise the SSD would have to be checked with Acer.

Hi, I am using the Samsung 860 EVO (1000GB, mSATA) together with the renkforce Raspberry Pi® USB to mSATA converter on a Raspberry Pi 3 (see Linux RaspiBolt 4.19.66-v7+ #1253 SMP Thu Aug 15 11:49:46 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux). This single board minicomputer runs the Blockchain (BTC) with a Lightning Node (LND) (see link: https://stadicus.github.io/RaspiBolt/). This is a very intensive IO application and so far I could not find any problem (see link: https://1ml.com/node/ => Search for "iFIT [LND]"). Conclusion: I think the "thing" does not run badly, but you have to treat this storage like all SSDs, i.e. always check for badblocks and make regular backups. With thanks and greetings L.A.

No, it doesn't come with it, it usually comes with the motherboard.

Apple uses its own connector, these are compatible: OWC Aura Pro X2 (2000GB, M.2 2280) Transcend JetDrive 850 (960GB, M.2 2280)

I can't answer this question because I use the Samsung 860 EVO (1 TB mSATA) with the renkforce "Raspberry Pi® USB to mSATA Converter" order no. 1337091. It runs my blockchain (mainnet) and the LND Lightning Node. It's a very demanding application, but it's still running smoothly.

I installed the device in my Turris Omnia router (unfortunately I can't open it easily, but it is well installed). The mSATA disk fitted in well there. Does this help? Greetings A.

The 860 EVO is an SSD with an M.2 SATA interface (not M.2 NVME), so the data is about right. If you want an NVME SSD, check out the 970 EVO / 970 EVO Plus.
