Customer Ratings & Reviews

much faster than old drive no comparison . Worth the money. needed to download clone software to work on Mac. Software that came with the drive was for windows. That's why I give it 4 instead of 5 stars.

It is what it is a good fast ssd that gives a good bang for your buck

As with previous EVO drives, this one has plenty of speed & storage for any laptop, or desktop boot drive. They have a sturdy steel case, are universal in most SATA applications, offer blazing speeds reliably & the cost is justified. Spending $10-20 less on a different brand will leave you disappointed. I started with a Sandisk that was on sale & wound up needing to return it & buy this one like I was originally planning. I really like the steel case on these & use them for storing data over using usb flash drives for large amounts of data. So easy to install compared to other makes & if you want to really wake up a slow laptop or PC, clone your hard drive onto this & see the difference! Price wise, competitive with the rest, however just a few dollars more & the extra is so much worth it.

Purchased to replace an old slow hard drive on my 2009 MacBook Pro. Very easy to install and was able to install the IOS software without any problems. Now my laptop reboots in seconds. Very satisfied with the performance.

It does what it needs to do and is fast and reliable.

There are four computers in my household. I purchased this drive for the one computer that didn't have a SSD drive. The difference between a traditional hard drive and a SSD is noticeable enough to make it worth the purchase. The Samsung 850 EVO is the best deal going for a SSD. There is no need for the 850 Pro and any other brands pale in comparison.

This hard drive was easy to install and worked great.

Cloned my hdd like a champ and gave my mac new life

It is pretty faster then any other once out there.

Excellent quality at a great price! This hard drive makes my laptop so much faster than when I had the conventional hard drive, and no need to defrag. Nothing like solid state hard drives, quiet and reliable!!

This Samsung SSD is the best one that I have used so far!

I have been using these SSD drives for a while, and they always perform well. I usually try to get them on sale or with price match. They are suitable for both desktop and laptop. If using on a desktop, I highly recommend not getting a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter, just use some quality double sided foam tape (3M brand) to install. If you are going to do a drive replacement on a laptop, be sure to get a usb to sata adapter cable. If you are doing a drive replacement on a desktop, just connect it to the CD/DVD power and sata cables temporarily. The data migration software from Samsung (on CD or downloadable from their website) works well. Be sure to install the Samsung Magician monitoring tool.

Read in advance about the excellent test results of the Samsung sold state hard drives including speed and longevity. So glad that Best Buy stocks these drives right in their stores! No waiting for delivery.

I put the ssd into a laptop and was able to boot from a USB stick and install Windows on the drive. It is quiet and I have not noticed any issues with speed. I have been using it for a couple of weeks.

I purchased this for speeding up my old desktop. It improves so much on my desktop along with extra memory ram upgrade. It is a little bit noisy, but not that much. It is great product. Stable and speedy.

super fast, best improvement for lap top,easy to install

eas yto set up and make ur computer night and da yfaster

This is one of the better solid state drives out there.

I got this SSD for my late 2011 MacBook Pro I love it! My computer turns on fast and performance is excellent. I would definitely recommend if you want your computer to run faster you'll see a difference.

I actually bought this because the cheaper ones were out of stock, but for a little extra this has been a great buy. My old computer is now new again, actually better than new. It starts up in seconds.
