    Performance of this drive is topped by very few drives that are much more expensive. Best bang for your buck along with being one of the top overall performers. Great longevity and warranty. My go-to SSD!

    Swapped out the old 5400 rpm with this SSD and what a difference. Cleaned and re-did the thermal paste on the heat sink and the Vaio is like new.....better.

    Great solid state drive for someone looking to get some great load speeds for their games or even quick boot times for their PC. Had 0 issues setting it up and configuring it into my system.

    My hard drive crashed, so I purchased an SSD to replace my C drive. My PC now boots Windows 10 in less that 10 seconds. I am very impressed with the Evo, it has probably added years to my old 3rd gen Core i5.

    Plenty of SSDs out there but I consistently see Samsung and Intel being the best in performance. I put this EVO into a low-end laptop and it performs like one costing twice the price (out of the box).

    Bought this for my OS. Wow, a boot up in about 3 seconds is amazing. Going from a cold start to working in 5 seconds is amazing! Everything feels snapper and just an amazing feel. Best money spent!

    My laptop hard drive died in my IBM Thinkpad t531 so I decided to go SSD since I've had Samsung in my desktop for about 5 years with no issues. Love it very easy to install configure and zero issues

    I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro which has a HDD and was running ridiculously slow for a couple years. Opened it up and popped this SSD in there and it's like I got a new MacBook. Extremely satisfied.

    It was time to upgrade to a better SSD and after owning this drive for some time, I cannot say anything bad about it. Perfect combination of size and performance and a good price point. Zero complaints.

    I bought this for my iMac "27 2009 to replace HDD. I had someone else install this, it will require a $10 adapter to fit the 3.5" size. Imac starts up in 15-20 seconds & runs great. No issues.

    This Samsung SSD is an easy choice for me. I've built computers for many years for personal and for friends. I've come to depend on Samsungs quality, speed and ease of setup. There are none better.

    I install this drive on my Mac book pro as my boot up drive and boot up time has been slashed by at least 90%. I don't know how it will stand the test of time but so far I am very happy with my new drive.

    Best SSD for any computer that still uses SATA. I use it on MAC Computers and the performance after installation is from night to day different...you see up to 4X the speed when using this SSD.

    This drive is *fast*, and you can't beat the performance for this price range. Spent time researching using several of the tech enthusiast sites and this drive was among the few best in this price range.

    I've had several SSDs and Samsung makes the best hands down. Never had any issues with them, but have had a couple other brands fail on me. It will be Samsung every time I'll need one from now on...

    Checked out the reviews saw mostly positive so I bought one and it is faster than the other SSD drive I have (sandisk). I am planning to buy another one. Another excellent product from Samsung.
