    I use portable hard drives for my music. I start replacing the internal drives with the Samsung solid-state. They are proving to be so much faster while being so much lighter. And they are being sold at such a great price. This is my second Samsung ssd purchase and will be buying more.

    I was upgrading my laptop from a 500MB regular drive to solid state. This drive is awesome! My laptop boots up so fast it's insane. This was the best upgrade I have ever done. Everyone says the Samsung drives are the most reliable. The cost was the same as others so why not get the best!

    Yes, it's a little more expensive than other brands but hey, if you have precious data to store, it's better to invest a little more and get one of the best SSD. I used it to change the old hard drive from a laptop and boot speed increased substantially, it's like new all over again!

    Did a lot of research before purchasing this drive. Wanted at least 1TB of storage on a fast SSD drive. This fit the bill perfectly, Samsung has great support just in case something goes wrong but I don't expect that to happen. Simple plug and play and the drive is lightning fast.

    Bought this for my main laptop which had 250GB ssd and 1 TB mechanical Hard disk. I removed the 1 tb hdd and installed the new 1 tb ssd. The rest is out of this world. Blazing speed resulting in apps and games running faster. It is like having a new laptop.

    The drive performs fantastically. It truly is a successor to the 850 Evo. I purchased this drive to upgrade my laptop, I noticed a huge improvement compares to Traditional HD. Boot to desktop was about 7 seconds. Would absolutely buy again at Bestbuy

    Needed to upgrade my 500GB hard drive in my laptop. Read reviews about this devices performance/cost per GB. Went ahead and purchased it, haven't looked back since. Insane speeds compared to stand hard drive disks. No noise or vibrations due to no moving parts. Highly recommend

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this, best purchase for my pc that I ever made. My pc is super fast, runs like it's brand new. I highly recommend going with a solid state drive. In fact it's so great that my husband had the exact same one installed in his pc.

    Was able to sang this on sale at two different times, and I'm extremely happy with the size and overall experience with these drives. Writing speeds are excellent, I don't see any dips in performance in loading for games or plugins for music programs.

    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.

    Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB SSD provides solid performance and great way to extend a laptop's storage capacity. Easy to install and format by the average user. I've purchased one for my digital photographs and another for misc. documents.

    I needed a lot of space on my laptop for work. Laptops with already-installed 1 terabyte solid state drives were upwards of $2,000. I went with a cheaper computer with a smaller solid state drive and swapped them out with Geek Squad. It was perfect, and Oleg with Geek Squad is the best!

    Works perfectly! I had to reinstall windows and thought I'd upgrade from the traditional HDD while I was at it. My computer feels brand new again. Great drive, great value. This is my 2nd drive for a 2nd computer. Both times have been great.

    Fast and easy to install. If upgrading from an older style mechanical hard drive, download the free Samsung software to clone the drive and then remove the old drive and you're all set. Boot time went from several minutes to about 15-20 seconds.

    Anytime I can afford a extra SSD to throw in my rig I take it. These things are easy to install and Samsung Magician is fairly easy to use. If you want your PC to fire up instantly than these are priceless. Once you go SSD you never go bacl.

    Will buy Samsung SSD’s all day long. This is my third one. I buy them for my pc’s and to help upgrade friends pc’s. The prices are getting so much better. Upgrading to an SSD put a breathe of new life in my 2012 MacBook Pro. You won’t regret it.
