    I upgraded from an 840 evo. The drives are pretty much the same in specs. The difference being the 3d flash. Samsung drives are the best too me. They work great, have a great warranty and The samsung magician software can utilize your ram (8+ gigs) to speed up your most used apps. I can definitely notices the difference. i think anandtech did a review of this feature. This drive is not the fastest but it a great and reliable drive for anyone.

    The Evo 850s are tried and true and have been around the block for a while. Still the best SSD IMO if you're going SATA. Be sure to use the included software to maximize performance and setup overprovisioning (if you care).

    Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB

    This SSD is one step below Samsung's premier 850 Pro series. The warranty is shorter and the performance is slightly less. However, in a desktop or laptop it still works great and I doubt you would notice the difference.

    Great SSD. I bought it to replace my Dell 4300 hard drive. Migration software was easy to use. From start to finish the job was done within 30 minutes. This is the 5th EVO 850 SSD that I have purchased, and have had no problems with any.

    In terms of price point, the 850 EVO 250GB for laptops is second to none. Best Buy has been consistent in professionalism and recommending the very best available electronics in helping consumers experience "Cutting edge technology".

    So far the drive has worked well, and performed as I expected. The system boots quickly, and is very responsive. As long as the drive holds up long-term, I'd highly recommend it. There's other higher performing drives from Samsung, but if you don't need the absolute maximum read/write response times, then this drive is good enough for most operating system needs. I use this drive for my OS and programs, a 128gb drive as a dedicated cache for my Adobe programs, and a 4TB WD drive for file storage.

    I work in IT and these are the only SSD's that I recommend. I have installed at least 20 of the Samsung drives (The 830 and 840 series as well) and have had zero problems. They are also very competitive in pricing with "lesser" brands.
