    If you're looking for the best SATA SSD, this is it. At this point Samsung has now come out with the 860 EVO, however that also makes these drives a fantastic deal due to price drops! So look for the amount you're interested in spending and head to Samsung because that's where you can get the best of the best when it comes to SSDs. Software is the best out there, especially if you want to clone a hardrive.

    I got this drive to replace the one I had on my PS3. It was definitely worth the upgrade; it has increased loading times making the games look a lot smoother. I'd read some reviews and watched videos prior to purchasing this drive to make sure it was worth to shell out the money for the upgrade, and I'm happy to say that it did not disappoint.
