    This SSD has been the best upgrade for my laptop I have ever installed. I chose the Samsung model because of the history of longevity and the warranty. At the sale price it was a no-brainer

    This should be a "no brainer" update to bring new life to your PC. Was easy to install. The speed is amazing.

    Forget adding more RAM and all that. If you really want to speed your computer up, start with an SSD. Huge speed gains over standard HDD.

    So far so good. My son had to replace the HD on his computer while at school. This was recommended and he is very happy with it. He said his computer runs quieter and quicker.

    I purchased this as a business resale item but ended up not needing it so I returned it. But since they keep bugging me to review it (and they are giving me points for it)......

    quick and snappy though probably not much faster than a 840 EVO ( hey they fixed the firmware). For the price you can't go wrong with one. 500 MB/s Read and Write for large files

    my decision to upgrade from the 128 to this 250 proved to be the right decision. the 128 would not have been enough memory and I'm not a gamer nor am I a heavy PC user.

    I installed this after my old laptop hard drive went bad. I didn't expect that I would get quite the performance boost I did! If I had, I would have upgraded a long time ago.

    This is truly a great hard drive for your computer. The only thing better is the PRO version that comes with a 10 year warrantee.

    I got the hard drive for my daughter's laptop when she damaged her own. She hasn't had a complaint since. I am kind of jealous and I'm thinking of getting one of my own.

    Fast, reliable, with a 5 year warranty. A little more expensive than some of the others, but worth it in my opinion. And the software that comes with it is good too!

    It was dead simple to install and set up. Grab the software provided by Samsung to help with the transfer process if replacing a drive. So far so good, no complaints.
