    Speeds enjoyed far beyond the mechanical drive, which enable quick application access and transition to other apps. Lucky for me, the sales rep employed the price match guarantee - saving me the hassle of researching online.

    Highly recommended, upgraded my laptop, which was already acting slow with its stock 1TB Hard drive, even with its Core i7 and 8GB of RAM. After installing this SSD, the laptop came back to life and it worked faster than ever.

    I few years back I put a SSD in my PC when Windows would be installed. NIGHT & DAY difference is the speed it takes at start up. If you don't have one, you need one! Seriously. Stop reading this and go buy one. GO!

    My 2011 Mac Mini runs much faster with this SSD. Bought it on sale and after just two months everything is running smooth. It allowed me to upgrade my operating system that was a few generations behind. Happy with the purchase so far.

    This is the best ssd for the money. I am very impressed that it works as well as it does. I have them both in my desktop and my laptop, and well they don't work as well as a m.2 one, they do work great. Best upgrade you can do.

    Best Buy price matched the drive, and I couldn't be happier, needing it and having it in the same day was fantastic. Using it for offload of video renders, the thing smokes a spinning drive. For loading games it is fantastic.

    My recently purchased macbook pro came with 4gb of ram and a 500gb hard drive. While a ram upgrade to 16 gb increased performance, the Samsung 850 evo installed a few weeks later made a dramatic change. The mac boots in 15 seconds!

    Using this in my 2012 MacBook Pro (Model 9.2) and it has dramatically improved my system startup time, as you would expect when transitioning from HDD to SSD. In addition, I can boot applications much more quickly.

    Does Samsung make ANYTHING these days that isn't fantastic? The 850 Evo continues the tradition of great Samsung SSD products. Be sure to use Samsung Magician software included with the drive to maximize your performance!

    I bought this hard drive to replace the SATA one in my 5+ year old Macbook Pro. I was thoroughly suprised with the speed. It used to take well over 3 minutes to boot up my machine. Now, everything is up and running under 30 seconds.

    Replaced my aging Seagate Hybrid drive and this is much faster. Samsung management software also helps a lot in monitoring and performing tweaks to performance. Will definitely upgrade as soon as I can to a bigger capacity...

    If you want to instantly make your computer 500 times faster than purchase an SSD drive. Samsung has a proven track record when it comes to SSD performance and reliability.

    Purchased as an upgrade for MacBook Pro 2011. Gave me better performance than when the machine was new. I reviewed several SSDs and this was 5star all the way. Price was competitive. Migration/Install was really easy.
