Make an aging dell i7 computer feel wicked fast. Boots from stop in 7 seconds. Shuts down in 6 seconds. Love it. Single best improvement for any computer. The Samsung software to switch to this drive work very good. Very easy to switch drives, just follow the directions.

I have an i5-based HP All-in-One. After upgrading to Windows 10, it became very slow. I upgraded my HDD with this SSD, which made the boot and application loading extremely fast.
It was easy to migrate the content over from the HDD using a USB/SATA cable and was easy to install.

My MacBook Pro (Mid-2012) was running insanely slow and took minutes to open basically anything. I replaced the hard drive that apple gave me recently with this SSD, and my Mac now runs 100x faster and smoother. I could not be more satisfied with my purchase. Good looks Samsung.

The SSD is amazing! I have a custom PC, that I built at home, with fairly fast components, however with a hard drive. Installing this into my PC, and moving windows 10 onto it immediately made the software extremely responsive. 1 minute long boot times, now only take about 25 seconds. I extremely recommend this SSD.

Best Bang for the buck. I purchased the 500GB version of this one for playing games and in a week filled up all available space. Had to upgrade to 1TB version and never been happier. Windows 10 loads under a minute and there is no I/O lag at all when loading games.

Great speeds at a great price. In regards to a quality SSD on a budget this is the only way to go. Yes other companies offer similar models, but the reliability of the Samsung drive has been proven time over time. If there is a defective unit, you get taken care of properly.

All good. The product was installed By the geek squad and works great. I would recommend this product to many friends. There were many lesser cost products but I decided to go with a better name brand.I haven’t had any problems arise since the new product has been installed.

I replaced my HDD drive ion my Laptop with this drive. Wow ! It just takes hardly 2-3 seconds for my PC to boot up Windows and every program runs so fast after this upgrade. The installation was a breeze (just remove and plug in the new one) and just transfer the old Drive image to the new one. That's it.

Forget spending hundreds or a thousands on a new laptop. If your looking for more space, speed and a breath of fresh air for your aging laptop or desktop, this SDD should definitely be your first upgrade option. It’s made my MacBook Pro 2012 load so fast I forget it’s the same Mac I’ve had all these years.

After 8 months of daily use, I found the Samsung 860 EVO internal SATA Solid State drive extremely fast. It takes a fraction of the time to load Windows 10, compared with the regular drive. Saving large files takes seconds. Installation was easy and fast.
I highly recommend this Solis State Drive.

I had to replace a failed hard drive in a laptop. This SSD was the perfect solution. The installation was straightforward. The performance has been great. Boot time for my laptop is shorter, startup times for applications are shorter, and overall things simply run smoother.

Good hard drive!! Replaced my old desktop hard drive with this Samsung SSD. Now my computer boots up and ready to go in less than a minute. And with the Samsung cloning software from the Samsung web site. Cloning this SSD was easy.
Worked so good I purchased another one for my laptop too.

Excellent performance and easy to install. Free Samsung software makes it very easy to swap your hard drive. I also put one in my Dad's computer. Performance is 4x or more of a standard hdd. Highly recommended to bring life back to your "old" notebook computer. I'm 100% + satisfied.

I love these drives. Purchased this one as a replacement in an HP all in one who's original Toshiba hard drive bit the dust after a power outage. Bought an adapter and installed with no issues. Computer runs quicker and boots faster with this drive installed. Very happy.

This is a hard drive. You can put your files on it. I bought a couple of these to replace some old spindle drives in my Windows pc. They work really well. The machine boots faster. The drives have a bunch of storage so I don't have to keep telling Steam to save games on different drives. It's nice.

Good for aging 2012 Mac Mini

The hard drive was obviously going out on my Mac Mini. Lots of dragging load times, false “no operating system” boots, failed wake from sleep, hard drive click of death... I picked up this SSD on a Black Friday sale. So I stuck this new solid state drive in there and did a clean install of the latest Mac OS. The difference is incredible. My 2012 Mac Mini flies now. If you’re thinking of doing this, I recommend doing what I did. Make a bootable Mac OS usb installer and start it from scratch. It’s like double prizes because it’s a new SSD and you get that crisp, new “Hello” setup screen like you just bought a new Mac. And if you were having performance issues linked to a failing hard drive like me, it’s literally going to feel like a brand new Mac. Good luck! Follow the OWC installation guide on YouTube!

SSD prices are falling and now is a good time to replace your hard drive which is the last obsolete piece in a computer today. I actually put this in a brand new Asus media center that came with a hard drive. Threw it out and put this Samsung 1TB SSD. Computer boots up in 10 seconds. Very happy with it.

This holds way more info than a floppy disk and it’s fast as funk boy! So easy to install even your momma can do it, I picked up a few and separated my audio, video, samples, games and kept one for scratch. Improved response time to my PC greatly. If you download a lot of movies and music then stop, pirates aren’t good buy your entertainment that’s how we keep making more for you to enjoy and for those of you who do, thank you! I know you grew tired of asian subtitles and random casino ads in the middle of your movies.
