    Samsung SSDs are terrific. Affordable, very fast, and long-lasting by every standard out there. This is my second purchase in the 850 Evo series, and I plan to buy more of them as well.

    Faster that the other ssds I got however is not worth to buy if you don't have an i7 or i5 k series because it won't use the full potencial of the ssd but yeah it is extremely fast

    Highly recommend the implementation of a solid state drive as an upgrade to all laptops that are using the classic ATA type drives. The speed of search, surfing, and design is amazing

    I've purchased 3 ssd in different times, it's worth spending the extra 15 to 20 dollars if you really care about durability, if not then the pny or SanDisk is also a good buy.

    If you want to revive a laptop that is 4 - 6 years old get a SSD. It's simple to install. The result is you have a laptop that is comparable to a newly purchased laptop.

    Great, fast SSD used to upgrade my gaming desktop. This is a rocketship. Threw my OS and a couple games I play most often on it. What a difference compared to my old harddrive.

    I call it a tool, because it can 'fix' an old computer (desktop or laptop). It revives them almost to original speed. Easy to use, also. Great bang for the buck.
