Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased for the wife's older laptop. Having past experiences with SSDs, I knew the speed difference would be more than noticeable. The wife, however, was pleasantly shocked that the old computer was made somewhat "new-ish" again. It was very easy to switch out in a Lenovo (old hdd in photo) and copy over (get the affordable SSD to USB kit to copy the data from the old HDD first, then install SSD). We can put off buying a new laptop for at least another year or so. Thanks Samsung for another quality product!

Sped up my computer like lightning! Glad to have replaced my harddrive for better tech! Slid safely into the hardware spot so i didnt have to mount it

I recently upgraded my laptop with the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. One of the biggest challenges with laptop upgrades is the complexity involved, but this SSD made it a breeze, thanks to its compatibility with a SATA USB cable. Ease of Installation: The installation process was surprisingly easy. The SSD was ready to use with just a simple connection using a SATA USB cable. This plug-and-play setup is a game-changer for anyone not well-versed in computer hardware. It took no time to get the drive up and running, and the process was straightforward even for an advanced user like me and easily done for novices. i.e. Connect the SSD with a SATA to USB cable and connect this to your computer. Right-click on the Start menu and select 'Disk Management'. In Disk Management, find the SSD (shown as 'Unallocated'), right-click it, and select 'Initialize Disk'. Select GPT (GUID Partition Table) as the partition style. Right-click on the unallocated space on the SSD, select 'New Simple Volume', and follow the wizard. Assign a drive letter and format to NTFS. Lastly, Right-click the new volume, select 'Format', choose 'NTFS', and leave the allocation unit size as default. Your new SSD is ready to use and just like that you expanded your laptop's storage space in minutes and without compromising the speed of using an SSD! Performance: What impressed me the most was how the Samsung 870 EVO maintained the lightning-fast speed expected from an SSD. There's often a concern that expanding storage might compromise performance, but this drive dispelled all those doubts. My laptop now boots up faster, and applications load in the blink of an eye. The 1TB capacity is a massive upgrade, especially for laptops where storage is usually limited. Expanding a laptop's storage is often seen as a daunting task, but this Samsung SSD makes it accessible, easy, and Its cost-effective way to breathe new life into an older laptop or enhance the capacity of a new one. The boost in storage space is a significant advantage for anyone dealing with large files or requiring more space for applications and games. The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD is a stellar choice for anyone looking to expand their laptop's storage. It's easy installation, coupled with its top-notch performance, makes it a must-have for both tech enthusiasts and casual users. This SSD proves that upgrading a laptop doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Highly recommended for those seeking a balance between ease of use and powerful performance.

My Xbox One S (2019) stopped working 2 months after the warranty expired. I guess folks call it the click of death? Clicking was coming from inside the console and then it would shut down. I was this close to sending it in to Microsoft for a $175 repair. But....after a little research (YouTube and all) I found out that the HDD can be easily replaced from my nearest retailer. I looked at several HDD and SSD drives and ultimately chose this Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5" SSD. Crossing my fingers the whole time after opening up my Xbox One S and exchanging the HDD for the new Samsung SSD. Long story short, its working. I'm currently downloading all of my games! Not only did I fix my Xbox One S, I upgraded it too! Boom!

My DELL Precision Workstation T3400 needed an SSD upgrade since I've been getting tired of the slow performance its original HDD had. Since I needed to upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 7, I searched for a good SSD value with long term reliability. The Samsung 870 EVO, with its triple layer NAND cells met my needs and since its SATA III interface is backwards compatible with my machine, it was a good choice. The speed is phenomenal. Boot up is quick too!

Easy to install. Easy to use. Works great.I definitely recommend.

Works awesome!!!!! Now my old laptop is fast and have bigger storage capacity!!!!

Back in 2022, I wanted to upgrade to upgrade my hard drive that came from my PC installed (which is HDD) because it was getting slow few years later since I bought it. So I bought this Samsung hard drive and followed the instructions. After installing, I'm impressed with the speeds especially the startup, which is close as advertised (see picture below) and as of typing this review, it's still going strong! Opening Chrome takes an instant and it loads games faster as well, but do not expect to load lightning fast when it comes to gaming. Now I don't have to wait for a while! For those who are planning to buy this drive, you need an adapter (USB to SATA) to transfer data from your old drive to this new SSD drive (will take you a few hours depending how much is stored). Therefore, I highly recommended this if you're looking to upgrade.

Good value. Pickup from Best Buy went smoothly. Used the new SSD to replace the original 10 year-old drive in my Dell laptop which had suddenly failed. SSD was easy to install. Performance of my laptop is much improved with the new SSD.

Had zero issues with it, worst part was mounting it because I needed to buy screws seperately, but I'm probably going to replace one of my HDDs anyway so i got a bay for 2 SSDs. Since its an SSD, I just let it rest somewhere because it doesn't have any moving parts. Samsung also has software for diagnostics of their drives. I've had this one for just under a year (review is start of September, bought the drive the previous end of October), and it's seeing no issues after 4TB of data having been written to it.

I bought this Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA from Best Buy to replace my 2 TB Western Digital HD at the recommendation of the Geek Squad Tech. at my local Best Buy. She said ( I don't know if I'm allowed to name names here, but she was really well informed and knew her stuff) it would give me the boost in performance for my operating system & programs loading times I was looking for. My PC was taking 2 min.’s 30 sec.’s just to boot-up to the desk top!! I had the Greek Squad install the new drive and move my operating system & all files over to the new Samsung SSD. They did a GREAT job! I got the P.C. back in 3 day’s, NICE! My P.C. now boot’s up in 27sec’s to the desk top! WOW! What a performance boost! The Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB was also a reasonable price. I highly recommend this Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA if you're on a budget and want a reliable, stabile SSD, this one should fit the bill nicely!

Big upgrade from my WD Blue HDD. Everything loads so much faster from games to photo and video editing software. The only bad thing was I wish this came with screws to mount it.

I have purchases a couple of Samsung SSD 500GB& 1TB 870 EVO from Bestbuy online& local store at well., and SSD has an incredible write endurance. It uses a very intelligent MKX controller. totally worth it made a huge difference in my friend's desk top and my 8 year old PC . It will take about 30 seconds for the desktop too start after turning it on. And that time has dropped to about 10 seconds or so. Everything works faster this combined with additional RAM in the desktop really gained a lot it feels just as good as a new desktop. I will definitely buy again. This is actually the fourth SSD drive I have bought and they are all Samsung so far they have not disappointed me.

Samsung makes the best SSD drives! I have been using these drives exclusively for several years now, and have stopped using any others. They are fast and reliable.

This was a great product and it is working perfectly fine and so fast. My previous ssd stopped working and it was replaced by this one. I am really happy that I decided to buy this one.

Easy installation. Worked flawlessly for PS4 Hard drive upgrade. Recommended for anyone looking for inexpensive major upgrade to there PS4 devices or computers.

Vrooooooom! Goes my pc now. i love how much of a difference it made for my old apple laptop. Installed linux and put this sucker in and let it ride baby!

Fast, reliable, exactly as expected. Replaced in a mini PC. Access to the magician software makes data migration easy and ongoing drive monitoring a breeze.

I bought a new refurbished i7 HP Elite Desk Workstation Edition that had a Standard SATA 1 TB Hard Drive. The first thing I wanted to do was replace the old 1 TB SATA HD with a new SSD. I purchased this Samsung 870 EVO and couldn't be happier with it's performance. Installation was a breeze. I purchased the Sabrent SATA Hard Drive/SSD to USB 3.0 Adapter from Best Buy to clone the current drive. The 870 EVO came with Magician Software and the Sabrent adapter came with Acronis Cloning Software. I used The Magician and it worked perfectly.

The TV is still working and has a great picture I have recommended this TV to my friends and family
