    Solid state drive, very dependable and I would recommend it to others. Samsung is a brand I am sold on.

    Nice SSD

    Perfect upgrade for a laptop with much less space, and without solid state. Laptop took a dive so I purchased a housing to put this in. Works great.

    No Drive Just Jive

    Most of these reviews are so short and general I think they're click farmed for the rating. Not me, Samsung's migration software doesn't work with Windows 10 (over installed on Win 7). It will not recognize the key lock on the product. Samsung knows this and doesn't have a work around yet. Funny because my Toshiba SSD worked fine without the BS. So far no luck with 3rd party software solutions, but I shouldn't have to do this.

    Failed in 30 days

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am beyond frustrated. This failed in 30 days. The computer no longer recognizes that the SSD is connected. It doesn't show in the BIOS. It as working before, but we paid to have this installed, and have windows re-installed and all this cost us money and now the ssd is defective. Samsung better refund us the cost we paid to have this put in!

    Defective

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Tried to clone the hard drive in my wife's laptop. Tried it 3 times and every time it stopped at 62% with "an error occured writing to the target disk." It was delivered by UPS on a very hot day (100 degrees) so it may have been damaged by the heat in transit. So, I will be returning it to my Best Buy store for credit.

    CAUTION: Has one potentially fatal flaw

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This product does not come with an adapter for a laptop computer that utilizes a thicker drive. But the most fatal flaw is documented only in the user manual (found on the CD inside the package) which states: "OEM recovery partitions, generated at the factory by computer manufacturers, cannot be replicated." So most modern computers cannot recover from an error. I am returning this to the store for a refund.

    No transfer cable included

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Cloning software is included, but the required transfer cable is not. Best Buy did not have cable an it's going to be a week before I see it. Kind of silly. I should have bought online and received both at once.
