    Easy Setup. Much faster than a standard HDD. Would be nice if it came with an internal mounting bracket so I didn't have to purchase one separately.

    Replaced a tired and old hard drive with the Samsung 850 Evo. Was very impressed on how easy and fast the whole process was. And much more impressed on how the solid state drive performed.

    Not really much to write about this. Had no problems installing it. Have had no problems after getting it setup in Windows. I am not one to test speeds but it is fast enough for me.

    I swapped out my old hard drive for this super fast SSD. My load times for cold start is down to like 10 secs and games load obviously faster. It's worth the upgrade - you will be happy.

    Overall I love this SSD. I most likely will buy another when I need it. But I have yet to see the less than 30 second start up speeds.

    Easy to install and fast! I have a 128 SSD in a different PC and since prices are coming down figured a larger one would do. A SSD makes a PC starts up SO much faster. Get one!

    It's a great solid SSD but it's overprices compared to other TLC nand based SSD in it's class. Be sure to find the best price possible on this drive and don't pay full price for it.

    After reading several reviews online, I decided to purchase the 850 evo. Once installed in my pc, an upgrade from a seagate hdd, I noticed vast improvements to my game loading speeds.

    This is the second one I've purchased. I've now transformed 2 MacBook pros with hard drive disks on their way out into blazing fast machines performing quicker than when they were new

    Smooth Upgrade Experience

    While I already owned one Samsung SSD, I wasn't familiar with the Samsung Data Migration software that came with it. While I loved the speed of that drive, I had a poor experience with the transfer using third-party software. This time, I installed Samsung's software, placed the new SSD in a USB3.0 enclosure, and let it run. It took just over two hours for the process to complete. I swapped out the drives, pressed the power button, and I was in business. Never knew it could be this easy - and YES it is Windows 10 friendly. I was so happy about the experience (and the new lower price!), that I bought another Samsung drive for a different computer. A+ experience.

    Such a great drive, bought to replace main os drive. Boot has gone from a couple of minutes to almost instant. The Samsung migration software, made swapping out the drives a breeze.
