This one was installed by a service pro I know after the drive in my Mac Powerbook died. He installed a slightly out-of-date MacOS. I upgraded it to ElCapitan from the Apple website and then did a complete restore from my Time Machine backup. It was IMPORTANT that I had done a backup just two days before the disk failure. The Samsung has been fast & reliable.

I just wanted to tune up my laptop, and that 850 EVO 500GB Internal Serial ATA SSD did the job perfectly.
You will definitely notice the difference in speed.
Just turn on your laptop and start working on it right away.

This is my second 850 evo, i picked up this second one to pair them in a hardware RAID0. Works great, super fast (external dock averages ~840-870mb/s read/write) nevee had any issues with my first one either and it was about 2 years old. with that being said my dad had one and it failed after 6 months. No data was recoverable.

replaced a failed ssd with this and have had no issues. The drive is a typical SSD and plenty fast for a boot drive and large enough for all of your programs to be installed to. Yes, there are m2 nvme options for this size that are several times faster, but for a good SSD that performs great, you cant go wrong with this drive.

So glad I finally switched to a solid state drive. My roommate has been getting on me to do it for over a year. Kept resisting. Should have listened. Computer is so much faster, load screens and cut screens on my games are 3x's a s fast and don't get hung up anymore. Recommend to anyone else that they change as well.

If you are using the 1 or 2 TB disc that came with your prebuilt computer then you aren’t enjoying the experience as much as I am. Truly amazing differences are made with even the most basic SSD. It now pains me to try using my work computers... plus, Samsung covers these products very well, skip the extra warranty.

A while back I bought the 250 gig Samsung Evo and used it for my boot drive... Wow did this speed up my boot times...So I decided to get the 500 gig as a second drive and now my computer runs great.! Samsung provides some easy to use transfer and fine tuning software along with it. You cant go wrong with this one.
