    Used this drive to install the os on in my daughters gaming computer. I am using this in conjunction with a terabyte HDD. Works flawlessly. Instant boot times. In less than 5 seconds you are up and running.

    This Samsung 850 evo is amazing with my Windows 10 desktop. It is so much better than the old mechanical hard drives. My machine now boots in 10 seconds, instead of 1-1/2 minutes. What a great improvement.

    It's really quite amazing how much a SSD helps speed up older hardware. This is my second Samsung EVO 850, the first was for my desktop and this one is for my wife's laptop. No issues so far, just very usable speed!

    This drive is fast and really easy to migrate too. Since Windows 10 can abuse older drives I am testing to see if these newer drives will extend the life of older Dells. So far it they are working out great.

    This is a SSD. Plug the thing in, and you are good to go. It has great read and write speeds, as it should being from Samsung. It doesn't light on fire with little to no warning like Samsungs other products.

    Purchased the SSD to replace my 9 year old laptop's HDD. Easy to install and configure. I'm satisfied with the performance so far and would definitely recommend one to juice up an old/slow laptop.

    My first time upgrading a hard drive and it was a breeze. Samsung software was easy to use just wished they would include the usb to sata cable. Greatly improved the performance of my trusty HP Elitebook!

    No more waiting for the computer to boot up? I'm in. I used to be able to go cook breakfast while the computer was booting up. These new solid state drives though mean a more responsive computer than ever before.

    While this is not the cheapest SSD area, the performance is great. If your system has lots of ram, you can use the Samsung Magician software to activate the rapid mode to increase the ssd performance.

    If your machine is two to three years old, this is a great way to speed up your old machine and get more use from it. I've tried other products but they don't perform as well as the EVO drives.

    Got this ssd for my 3 year old laptop. My laptop is faster than when it was new. It originally came with a very slow hdd. The best upgrade you can do to any computer that still running on hdd.
