    I bought this item recently after doing several weeks of research. It was a little expensive but it came on sale at the same time I got a $20 reward on my membership. It's a fast drive with a 5 year warranty.

    I was desperate to speed up on of my company's PC, tried adding memory, ran Malware Bites, software optimisation, nothing really helped. But with this hard drive it became blazing fast!

    This drive is a must purchase! It is 5 times faster than my 10k RPM drive and 3 times faster than my old SSD. I ended up getting another for my laptop when I saw how amazing it is!

    Best Bang for the Buck!

    The slowest device in any computer these days is going to be the hard drive. I have tried several different models of SSD from PNY, Intel, and SanDisk. My recommendation would be between the Samsung or the Intel depending who has the sale going on as they both perform the best. Boot time goes from 45 secs. - 1.5 minutes down to 10-15 secs. Launch of applications are far superior as well. This is a must have in this day and age.

    Can't go wrong with Samsung SSD. If you looking for one to upgrade your computer. Don't waste your time for searching but just grab one of this Evo products. Your laptop will fly like mine after the upgrade.

    I was going to purchase a sandisk SSD but an educated BestBuy employee told me all about his experience with Samsung and the warranties they offer. Basically Samsung makes the best of everything, Worth the upgrade!
