Description
Form Factor and Compatibility
The Samsung MZ-V7E250 970 Evo 250GB M.2 2280 PCI-Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe) Solid State Drive is designed to fit into the M.2 slot of a compatible motherboard. It has a form factor of M.2 2280, which means it measures 22mm wide and 80mm long. This form factor is commonly used in modern laptops and desktop computers that support M.2 SSDs.
The Samsung 970 Evo 250GB SSD is compatible with motherboards that have an M.2 slot and support the NVMe protocol. It is also backwards compatible with PCIe Gen 2.0, but with reduced performance compared to PCIe Gen 3.0.
It is important to check the compatibility of the motherboard and the M.2 slot before purchasing the Samsung 970 Evo 250GB SSD, as not all motherboards support NVMe SSDs. Additionally, some older motherboards may only support SATA-based M.2 SSDs, which are slower than NVMe SSDs.
