    My macbook pro was running slowing. My hard drive was going bad. I purchased this internal drive and had Best Buy do the installation. My machine is running like new again.

    Have used many of these Samsung SSDs of various capacities to upgrade both desktop and notebook computer from Win 7/8/8.1 to Windows 10. Samsung data migration software has been flawless; have never had any problems when using the data migration software; just clone and swap drives. Can't beat the performance and reliability of an SSD over legacy HDD.

    My 4 year old computer would require 2 to 3 reboots every morning, taking about 30 minutes before it could be used. I was on the verge of buying a new computer but decided to try a solid state drive first. Installed this hard drive and boot time is now less than 30 seconds. It wasn't that fast when the computer was new. Software worked perfectly to transfer programs and data from old hard drive to new in less than 2 hours.

    Great price, great performance, easy install, totally worth it. My laptop is 4 years old. It was slowing big time.. I replaced the standard hardrive with this SSD and it is running like new. Total time from power up to launch a browser is just over one minute.

    I replaced a hard drive in a mid-2010 Mac Mini with this SSD, which was on sale. The drive installed perfectly, and with the OS upgraded to El Capitan, provided a significant increase in performance. I've been running it consistently for over a month now, and it's been very stable. This is the way to go for a hard drive upgrade of older hardware!

    Bought two of these for a raid1 for my OS. It even comes with software to copy your C:\ drive to the new ssd, Samsung Magician I believe.

    I upgraded from a 120GB SSD to this monster, and noticed the increased speed immediately. The migration software was easy to use and worked immediately, and I have not had a single issue yet. NOTE: Be sure and have a SATA to USB 3.0 cable before you begin. It is not included with the SSD, and will be required if you are using a laptop.
