Need some speed on an old PC or New? Posted by: from: on Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA Solid State Drive is a great way to give that older laptop more speed and now that the 500GB has come down so far in price that needed extra space. Great for SATA interface laptops and desktops (you might need an adapter kit to mount it in a larger bay). You will not be able to tell the difference between this and the PRO but your wallet sure will. I have tried a lot of SSD’s some have let me down but not Samsung. The added software for firmware updates is great it will help you with tuning the OS as well (SSD and HDD are different in how they are set up) The only thing that is missing is that RAPID mode is not functional with Windows 10 as the Magician software does not recognize the OS for this feature. The Samsung data migration software has limitations but it will work for the majority of customers and there are free alternatives that aren’t as quirky or have problems identifying all of your drives correctly.

An Excellent Solid State Posted by: from: on This solid state works exceptionally well and fast. I upgraded from a hard drive and I'm seeing a huge improvement in speed and functionality. I read a lot of reviews online about solid states, their stability and longevity, both of which have greatly improved over the past few years. The Samsung Evo and Pro solid states are currently among the most recommended of any solid states to buy for their performance and longevity for the price. The Samsung Evo's have a 5 year warranty and the Samsung Pro's have a 10 year warranty. The Pro's are meant for heavy usage and would be great for gamers and video and music editors, but unnecessary for most people. Most people would only need the Evo's since most people wouldn't be constantly erasing data, such as save to this drive, backing it up and erasing it or using this drive for more temporary usage such as a music or video editors working on a project and when done backing up their work on another drive and erasing it from this drive. That being said this drive likely would last most people 10+ years with no problems. Hope this review helps others with their purchase. I know this is a vital and important part of your computer especially if this is going to be your primary drive running your operating system, unless this is your secondary drive or you're doing a dual boot.

Excellent performance drive Posted by: from: Mass. on I installed this drive in a 2012 MacBook Pro, that I use in my recording studio. The standard 500 GB Hard Drive worked fine, but I really wanted faster performance, so I installed the Samsung SSD, 16 GB RAM and put the original drive in an external case to store only audio files on. Now, the MacBook is super fast, boots up in 13 seconds and performs all tasks instantly, even when running more than 50 tracks with multiple plugins going. This is probably the best upgrade for the money, along with the additional RAM. I highly recommend this SSD.

Solid State Hard Drive for older computer Posted by: from: Port St. Lucie, FL on My Son has one and he likes it. It is very fast he said, so when my Mother board quit working, I decided to go for the Solid State drive and see if it would load up my programs faster, and it does ! Instead of waiting for my original terra byte drive to load anywhere from 6 to 10 minutes, it loads up in seconds instead. I am still using my original Terrabyte drive but now its a D drive while the Solid state is the C drive, I can still access my files, etc as the Geek Squad set up " A Junction" ...Thank Goodness. I was a bit disappointed in not being able to keep all my bells and whistles on my older desk top. It may have been some things that I did not use, but who is to say that I would not? In the future, Right ? Either way the solid state works and it is faster than regular hard drives.

Brought my wife's 8 years old laptop to life Posted by: from: on Wife's hard drive was having mechanical failure. After reading the review for Samsung 850 EVO, felt confident that this was to be a great replacement drive. This SSD drive was super quick after a clean install of Windows 10. Her 8 year old laptop in her words " is better than when she first got her laptop new". Literally 4 seconds from pushing the power button to the desktop and her apps was almost instantaneous. So freaking fast!!!!

Samsung - 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA SSD Posted by: from: on Installed on 2009 17" MAC BookPro. Compatible. Run great, made a big difference on booting up time. Best noticed when I ran Adobe PhotoShop or Illustrator. For what I spent it was worth the buy, and extended the life of my laptop.

Superb Speedy Samsung Storage Posted by: from: on Superb Speedy Samsung Storage...try saying that 3x fast. this speeds up your computer like crazy if using as your main drive. The 500 GB is always getting to be a more reasonable price and is about the best Dollar per gigabyte ratio if you catch it on sale.

Large speedup for Laptop Posted by: from: Claremont, CA on When Microsoft upgraded a 18 month old laptop to Windows 10, without asking, my wife complained on how slow it had become. I had the Geek Squad clone the existing hard drive onto this SSD and install it. Most of the speed issues are gone. According to reviews Samsung should last longer than its competitors w/o sacrificing speed.

SUPER FAST!! Posted by: from: on Great driver if you want to upgrade your laptop from a spinning hard drive to solid state. The performance boost on my 2010 MacBook Pro 13" could not have been more extreme. This drive bumped my computer from barely functioning and taking forever to open anything to faster than it was when it was brand new. The Upgrade was super easy. Ive done it before so I already was familiar, but its something anyone could knock out in under an hour (no including the time it takes to transfer all your data over). Would highly recommend to anyone looking to speed up their computer and give new life.

Great SSD Posted by: from: on Easy Setup. Much faster than a standard HDD. Would be nice if it came with an internal mounting bracket so I didn't have to purchase one separately.
