    The best SSD

    Affordable price and blazing fast. Today an SSD is more important, and you get more speed for your buck, than an increase in ram. 850 pro from samsung is the best around. I have purchased almost a dozen for my office.

    I'm using this SSD on an older laptop and even though the SATA connection on the laptop won't let it work at the max speed I'm still impressed with the speed I am getting.

    Install and copy took 2 tries but can't argue with success. This is my second 850 Pro and with my new i5 it smokes. After password boots in 4 seconds. They probably all do but nothing like having the best.

    This SSD has increased my startup time on my macbook pro 2012 from about 45 seconds to 10-15 seconds. Well worth the money spent!

    Couldn't be happier with my Samsung Evo 850 Pro solid state hard drive. First of all the installation was simple. And copying my old hard drive onto to this new one was flawless and automatic. Operating system, my programs,and my data. all were copied right onto this new drive with the included software. My laptop boots up now in a matter of seconds. I love it. Its a great product. I highly recommend it.

    This was a needed boost to my aging Macbook Pro. I have an early 2011 and it was getting slower by the minute it seemed. Slipped this puppy in and it is lightening fast. Ended up returning this one to get the 1T drive. Can't go wrong with this purchase.

    Wow, this was so easy to install. Very fast startup. Windows 10 took 12 seconds from the moment I press on button. All my programs load up SUPER FAST. I learned that you NEVER want to DEFRAG a SDD. So I turned off that feature.

    Before buying the product, i thought about buying a tablet that has a faster ability of loading programs since my comouter was too slow at leading programs. Later i found out about the SSD and began to brows the reviews, this samsung one seemed the best choice. I am extremely happy with the results, now i dont even want to buy a tablet. My comouter is fast, maybe its because of the i7 processor, but i feel like i have a new tablet on my computer.

    Excellent random and sustained read/write speeds, with a solid ten-year warranty. Great for peace-of-mind for critical data, although you must back up all data as a practice. A little expensive, but the performance and reliability make it a recommended purchase.
