    The Samsung - 850 Evo 500gb SSD starts Windows 10 in under 10 seconds! The SSD is fast, responsive, and energy efficient- well worth the upgrade.

    Got it at a retail store as a price match from a Best Buy online sale. Really sped up the laptop as compared to the spinner drive it replaced.

    I had a 1 TB traditional HDD in my laptop. With BBY putting this unit on sale, I decided to try it for a client's laptop. I loved it. I upgraded the OS to WIN 10-Pro along with this SSD upgrade. The laptop is now screaming faster. This was a far better investment than buying a new laptop. With the client very happy, I bought a second SSD for my laptop. I have been running it for three weeks now and love it. You will not be disappointed.

    I have the 1TB version in my Macbook Pro and I installed the 500GB in my wife's Macbook Pro. She loves the extra capacity over her old 256GB hard drive that was failing and this one is so much faster! It's like a new computer!!

    I got good price on this, and it really increased my speed when I installed Windows and ran programs from the SSD instead of a 7200 RPM hard drive.

    I bought this drive based on a recommendation from a family member who does IT support. The first issue I encountered on my Win 10 laptop was the drive would connect and disconnect every 60 seconds. I overcame that by turning off the power savings. The second issue was the included software does not support Win 10. I am still researching software to clone my existing drive and will update this review after I get to the promised land.

    Installed in a desktop to speed up OS and game load times, makes a huge difference. Free Samsung cloning tools help to speed up setup process.
