    The Samsung 850 EVO is an excellent drive with top notch performance and rated lifespan. The 850 EVOs performance is right there with the Samsung 850 Pro. Cheaper drives are available but why take a chance the 850 EVO line is where it is at for cost and performance..

    The price for the size and speed was good for me. I used it to bring an old laptop back to life. Its speedier than when it was new. Setup and install was easy. I'm probably going to buy another for my desktop.

    I used this make and model of SSD at my last job in Information technology, and bought one for my home PC. Disk utilization rates went from near 100 percent, down to 10 percent, with a high stress level. It has greatly improved the performance of my system

    Purchased this SSD to upgrade my 2012 MacBook Pro instead of purchasing a new one. Brought a whole new level of performance to the computer and it is now running better than when it was first purchased. Easy to install with the right how-to guide. Highly recommend,

    Samsung SSD to the rescue...again!

    I have now replaced about a half-dozen hard drives for my clients, and I've used only Samsung EVO SSDs. The performance difference between an SSD and regular hard drive is night-and-day...no doubt about it, and the Samsung quality is second-to-none.

    Compared to my old hard drive, this SSD is lightning fast. Had it installed in an All-in-1. Would have been nice to know beforehand (Geek Squad probably should have mentioned) that cloning the hard drive might be an option, but it has worked out.

    This is the second one of these Samsung 850EVO drives I've installed. Both installs went well and I am very pleased with the performance improvement. Boot up and shut down are less than half the time it took before. Battery life is longer in my ASUS i5 laptop install.

    We bought a few of these drives to breathe new life into a couple of aging laptops at work - going to SSD really is the best way to boost performance! Boot times are cut in half, applications load noticeably faster - great upgrade.

    Samsung consistently rates high, no issues so far. Easy installation Used the included software to transfer from my main drive to this one, including the OS, Windows 10. Took a while but no issues. Also got a great deal with a price match, under $140

    We are upgrading from mechanical to SSD at work and this has been the go-to drive for us. It has read speeds of around 540 Mbps and will greatly improve you system speed. I have had users ask me what I done to their computers because it is so fast now.

    This is the second Samsung ssd I've installed (the first a 1tb) and it has performed well. Super fast startup in Windows 10. A huge upgrade over the slow 5400 rpm mechanical drive I had. This is one of the best upgrades to refresh a pc. Highly recommended!

    Works great and extremely fast. We're using it for video recording on Black Magic cameras. We have had a number of these drives and they have all been great. Would not bother with any other at this point.
