Replaced my current Aurora R4 desktop to Linux machine using this 1TB SSD hard drive.... fast and reliable

Perfect for everything I needed. Works wonderful!!

This is my SSD of choice for demanding applications and which the owners also need more storage space than the average user. You can download the Samsung Magician application for free which allows you to maintain and fine-tune the drive. I've never had one fail or come DOA, although I know both these things happen. If you're looking for a larger capacity SSD, you can't go wrong with this model.

I have an old extra Sony i5 VPC-EB190X (2010) that was just too slow these days. I was going to get rid of it but decided to take the risk and swapped out the old 500MB HDD for this 1TB SSD and it hums right along now. It was easy to swap and I did a back up and restore with Microsoft tools. This computer now has many more years thanks to the new SSD, also a tribute to the Sony laptop.

Big, fast and super easy to install in my laptop. Second one I’ve bought.

Upgraded an old desktop PC from an older mechanical drive to SSD. This really made a night and day performance difference. The SSD is significantly faster than a mechanical drive. Samsung has imaging software that allows you to "clone" your old drive to the new SSD. This worked flawlessly. You may also need a USB to SATA adapter to complete the cloning process (this is not included with the SSD drive). Highly recomended.

After cloning my aging Dell Inspiron's hard drive to this SSD my PC boots in 15 seconds and my apps load super fast. It's like a new computer. To mount this in a desktop you will need to purchase a 3 1/2" mounting bracket to fit into a drive bay. You will also need a SATA cable. To clone and replace your old drive with this SSD perform the following steps: 1) Shut down the PC. Screw the mounting bracket onto the SSD and screw the drive bay's rails to the bracket. Slide the assembly into the bay. 2) Attach the SATA cable and one of your PC's unused power cables to the SSD. 3) Start your PC and download the free Home Use version of Macrium Reflect. Install and run it. I was able to clone my old drive to the SSD in one hour. 4) Upon restarting the PC, press F2 as soon as the keyboard is recognized. This gets you into the BIOS configuration. Select the SSD as the primary boot device. Save and restart. Voila! You may disconnect your old drive or keep it there to use for backups.

Great hard drive. In 2 years I ran into zero issues

When i started out you could not fit 1t into a building, let alone a drive. Scheduled replacement (3 year) for desktop 'C' drive. I did not 'migrate' old drive to new. (I don't know why anyone would migrate old issues onto new drive.) Installed factory OS, reinstalled software, restored documents and watched it fly. Machine is fast, attribite 1/2 to de crap install and 1/2 to this drive. Will buy again.

I installed this a month ago and it's like having a whole new computer. Everything went smoothly hardware-wise. Had a small hiccup in software but that was the fault of Windows 10. If your drive isn't detected during Windows setup and you have other drives plugged in, you're going to have to remove them and then plug them back in after windows is installed. Great product and will buy again!

I love SSD storage! You cannot go wrong choosing Samsung when it comes to SSDs. This is a great option from a reliable brand and SSDs have fantastic speeds and little to worry about when it comes to mechanical failures that come with HDD storage. Redundancy is the best way to backup your data so continue make copies of important stuff on multiple storage devices.

We all know SSDs are a great performance upgrade, but the big hindrance for years was always the price. The Samsung 860EVO 1TB model when introduced sold for around $400, so Best Buy’s price is an insane bargain. You can use the Samsung Magician software to clone your existing drive to the SSD, or use free third-party software if you want to move from a bigger disk to a smaller SSD. Either way, you won’t regret your purchase.

I purchased this SSD drive based on the good reviews on the web site. I utilized the cloning software that came with the Samsung product and utilized it to replace my aging C drive. First time boot was flawless. Only negative was the case I purchased on the BB web site. Although the SSD fit in the case fine, the case did not align properly in the disk cage. Performance is spectacular. Fast boot time and plenty of space for my needs.

Fast, solid state drive to replace corrupt hard disc in a work PC. Easy replacement, easy fresh Windows 10 installation. Very fast install, only took 15 minutes from start to finish. Overall PC performance (an HP SmartTouch) doesn't seem much faster, however, which is surprising considering we swapped out a spinning drive for an SSD. Might be the PC itself that is the bottleneck.

Great price on a quality drive. Samsung drives are fast and reliable.

This ssd is great and is fast. It is easy to install and if you download the Samsung data migration software, not the magician software, you can clone your data to the new hard drive quickly. The software is very easy to use and is a key feature of this ssd. It limits you from erasing your existing drive in error and usually takes 30-60 minutes

Easy to install. OS significantly quicker. Large enough for multiple large data sets.

Fast drive, plenty of space great value Samsung always a good name

I've had a small 256GB Samsung SSD that I've been wanting to upgrade from to get at least 1TB and got a great deal during black friday that dropped it close to about $105. Amazing speeds and no issues as of now and plan on using this for several years down the road. Be sure to install the Samsung Magician software and enable RAPID mode to get the highest performance possible with this drive.

Easy to install, easy to use, and FAST. Great price for a full terabyte, too!
