    I highly recommend this for any computer. It helps boot time and it's inexpensive. Runs cooler than conventional hard drives and save power for laptops. I installed this on my 2007 MacBook Pro and it really improves

    Replaced the 750GB HDD in my '13 MBP that was slow to boot and took forever to load after waking up. Machine now boots in 10-15 seconds. Quick installation (~10min) and easy restoration of data from Time Machine (~2hrs).

    I replaced Toshiba 256GB SSD with this Samsung 1TB model. It's noticeably faster in my 2010 Apple Mac Pro 5.1 tower, and the price is actually fair for a hi-speed 1TB model. I would definitely buy it again.

    This SSD was easily the best upgrade I've ever added to my laptop. Windows 10 went from two and a half minutes to boot down to about thirty seconds including tray apps and icons. Would recommend to anyone.

    This purchase marked the 3rd time I'd purchased this particular SSD as a replacement for an aging HDD. The speed improvement made the machines into which they were installed feel like brand new, straight out of the box computers again. The speed, dependability, operating temperature and overall upgrade improvements make the price worth the investment. Add to all of the the easy cloning software included it makes this product a no brainer alternative to purchasing a whole new computer system. If you don't need to replace the HDD right away but you're looking to proactively avoid a HDD failure you may fear in the future, simply watch for a sale and pick up this drive when it's on sale.

    Switched from a 7200 RPM HDD to the Samsung 850 EVO in a 2008 Gateway FX desktop. It is so much quieter and so much faster when booting up and launching apps. Transforms my 9 year old computer to like new.

    I love my Samsung EVO. This is my second EVO after getting one when I originally built my PC in 2013. This is a very solid drive and very reliable. It's faster than any HDD, draws less power and will last longer.

    The CD that came with the disk made transferring data from my existing hard disk to the SSD disk easy. I have used Kingston SSD drives that require you to download a program off the net. After data transfer you can unplug your existing hard drive and just use the SSD drive as it boots up faster, programs run a little faster and virus scans much faster. I plug in the old hard drive to back up data and then unplug it.

    The installation instructions need more explanation on software installation. Ended up using Windows 10 Bootable Media Creation Tool to install the operating system.

    For the price, this is the best ssd on the market. Most users won't need the pro version, which is only slightly faster and comes with a 10 year warranty. This model come with a 5 year warranty.
