    My original hard drive was starting to give out after 7 years. This was a very nice upgrade to my computer. It starts up faster and over all, it runs better.

    Best bang for the buck ssd on the market. My old standard 7200rpm 16mb cache HD took up to 3mins to boot windows fully. 15 seconds and I am browsing or gaming now.

    This SSD may not have the highest numbers but its stable! Been running this SSD in my desktop for over a year and it works so good that I decided to buy another one for my laptop. I delt with others choosing other brands don't bother your either getting a SSD that's slow or a SSD that's unstable this one strikes a good balance of speed vs stability (fast speed while still maintaining stability) .

    I bought it because ssd uses 3d vnand which is not offered by any other company. It is working excellent with my 5 year old laptop. Transfer speed as mentioned.

    I have never had one of these go bad on me or lose data. If you are upgrading from a HDD, this is possibly one of the most significant upgrades you can make.

    Replaced an old spinning drive, performance went up exponentially. When considering the 500GB of space, it's probably one of the best SSD's for the price.

    When I ask it to do something, it just does it without stopping to think about it. ie., even with my programs loaded it takes only 6 seconds to start up.

    Used to replace my boot drive. Start up time went from around a couple of mins to almost instant. Samsung software is a breeze to clone old drive to new.
