    This would be my 3rd solid state drive that I buy from Samsung. Always reliable and they just work. and it came with a free copy of Watch Dogs 2 so all around it was a good deal.

    Have been using this SSD for a couple of months now and performance has been consistently good. This is unlike regular hardrives which degrade over time. Don't hesitate to buy this.

    Solid state disks are much better than sata disks. Period. I replaced a hard disk on a server and everything was positive: better price, better performance, cooler temperatures.

    A samsung ssd is always a great buy. Strong performance and dependable. Used them to upgrade all my laptop's and desktops. Pairs well with apricorns transfer kit for the transfer.

    I bought this for my son at his request for Christmas. He put this in his desktop gaming computer and has been very happy with it. He has no complaints with it. Works wonderfully.

    Replaced the Drive in my MacBook as I wanted to maximize battery life. I don't know if it has done a lot there, but the computer is much quicker to boot and launch programs.

    With these drives there is no stopping AI. They are so fast it's like a whole new PC. I can really experience the power of my i7 with out a mechanical drive slowing it down.

    My old computer would take about 3-5 minutes to load up. Now that I put operating system on this ssd it takes less then 30 seconds. Programs startup way faster as well.

    Samsung makes the best and most reliable Solid State drives. I can't wait for the price to go down and the storage size to go up. Can't even use a mechanical drive after using this.

    Added this drive to an old computer. Did a clean install. Boot times are still around 15 seconds even after installing everything, as opposed to 3-5 minutes previously.

    I've own many SSD's throughout the years. This is my first Samsung EVO SSD since I've only ever purchased SLC SSDs as a boot drive. I've been using this SSD for my games (Steam, Battle.net, and Origin). It's plenty of space for my needs and the games I play often. I recently purchased a second one for processing my photos with Adobe Lightroom. I understand my use for these SSD's isn't what most people are doing with them. I know they're excellent for boot drives, but I have a Samsung 960 Pro M.2 as a boot drive. Together, they all work incredibly fast and it makes using my computer extremely satisfying.
