Samsung - 850 EVO 250GB Internal Serial ATA Solid State Drive for Laptops
- Key Specs
- Storage Drive Type: SSD (Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also generate both noise and heat. Solid state drives, also known as SSDs, are many times faster than hard disk drives and have no moving parts to wear out, but typically offer less capacity for the same price.)
- Interface(s): SATA (Refers to the types of connections that devices use to interact and communicate with each other.)

Q: Does this work on Desktops or is it only for Laptops?
A: Works for both laptop and Desktop.
A: Technically, it's both. It's a SATA drive, not an IDE. It will fit in any laptop or desktop built since 2006.
A: YES YES YES! I have this in my mid 2012 MBP typing this answer right now. It works awesome. I definitely don't regret it at all! I'll add a photo from the black magic disk speed test app available on the mac app store. It's for the SSD currently in my comp and after about 3 months of normal usage. Boot time is 10s or less. Shuts off almost instantly. Apps are open before they have a chance to bounce on the dock. That's including things like photoshop, word, etc. All work incredibly fast. My best advice is to get this and use carbon copy cloner to clone your current HD (or do a fresh install...its up to you)... search google for a mac app called "Trim Enabler" and get the premium version. This will allow you to turn off the sudden shock sensor since you don't have a spin drive anymore as well as some other nifty features.
Q: Does this come with an adapter need to put into a 3.5" desktop bay?
A: It does not come with the 3.5" adapters or SATA cables. However they are not expensive, you can get both for about $10 at various stores online.
A: Yes, won't get much speed bump. I would suggest get a 1 tb hybrid hdd. Slight increase in speed for the money.
A: It is Sata III 6Gb/s so you get 540MB/s sequential read and 520MB/s sequential write speeds. But probably in real world is a bit slower.
A: Yup. I've done 2 of them.
A: Call Samsung...They honor a warranty on this and They will walk you thru what you should do.
