    I purchased two of these and set up in a RAID 0 configuration. Probably overkill for anything I'm doing on it, but it's zippy! Nice to have theoretically twice the speed and the same storage for less cost than a single 1TB SSD drive.

    My wife's laptop seemed sluggish and I decided to upgrade it with this SSD. Start-up times went from about 2.5 minutes to about 20 seconds. Applications load much quicker now. The drive was very easy to install. Well worth the money!

    This is by far the best upgrade for a slower, older laptop you could get along with memory. As it's a solid state drive, there are no moving parts and data transfers are much faster. BB had it on sale and I snatched up one. Works great!

    Bought this SSD to speed up my 5-yr-old computer from HDD boot drive. Cloning software downloaded from Samsung easy to use and transfer was flawless. I took a few hours to transfer almost 250GB. Boot up is now only seconds instead of minutes.

    The 850 EVOs are good drives. I have installed them in many laptops and they all perfom well and haven't given me any troubles. You can buy others for cheaper but I decided to pay a bit more and get one from a reputable maker.

    Samsung drives are my only go to SSD. The reliability and price of the Evo series is a great value. There are others that are cheaper, but they do not perform as well. You will love the boost in boot time as well as the overall performance.

    I upgraded my laptop with this drive. Once I saw the performance upgrade, I went right back and purchased another for my home desktop. The data migration software migrated my data and OS settings flawlessly and I was up and running fast!

    So I did a lot of research, and this drive by far for the money stacks up higher than any other drive in its price range. I wish I would have made the jump years ago. This sped up my system by easily 300%. I couldn't be any more happy!

    This is the first SSD I've owned and a bestbuy rep said it would improve the performance of my desktop. I gotta say I will never go back to a mechanical hdd for my os.. It definitely improved performance and my computer boots way faster..

    I bought this drive for replacing other Samsung ssd drive (256gb) that stopped working after a year and a half. This drive is faster than the previous I had, it looks very well built and I only hope that it last more than the other
