Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great Drive, especially at the $99 price tag. I paired this with a 970 EVO to help me have storage to load games and work with video files at a faster speed and the 860 has definitely delivered, noticeable speed increase.

i have upgraded map with intel SSDs which were expensive also, this SAMSUNG SSD is much more expensive that others, read some good reviews about it so i picked this one, it was installed in Lenovo Desktop, it was very easy to do if one have the USB 3 to SATA cable, must have in my opinion, makes cloning so easy before drive is in the bay. attach drive to cable install SAMSUNG cloning software and clone existing drive, would need the adapter for Desktop HDD install which is not part of drive, i had the intel SSD case still with me so no issues there. it took one hour from start to finish, windows up and running. no issues. so by adding 16GB and this drive $210 total, my desktop has renewed life for few more years, with blazing fast performance, similar config desktop is around $1100.

Wow what a difference! Went from an older spinny drive to this, dang near like getting a new computer! Great price on this, and oh dang does it work like a champ!! Buy the 2TB if you can afford it, I will soon as I can

I have installed it on my laptop and using it for more than a year! Works like a charm, very quick response time, immediate boot up, quick data processing (read/write) etc., I never have to worry about crashing laptop! Highly recommend!

How long does it take you to start up a game? Or open up an application? Or even to boot up your computer? Do you dread having to restart because Windows 10 updated on you? Do you hate having to sit there for, like, ever? Then you need a solid state drive (SSD). Once you install one, it's over. I always resisted restarting my PC because it meant sitting there for over 5 minutes waiting for the drive to get established. Even after logging it, there'd be minutes of scratching and loading. But this SSD ended all of that. Turn on PC, log in, DONE. Seconds and you're DONE loading. Honestly you could get any SSD and you'd get the same improvements, but get one. An SSD is the best upgrade you could possibly get for you PC if it doesn't have one. (Ease of use is Average since your PC acumen may vary)

This is a nice pretty quick SSD. Only took me about 15 minutes to install into my laptop which is down to my laptop mostly, but the ssd itself is very straight forward. Also formatting the drive with my computer was seamless.

This has been a lifesaver to expand the life of a laptop. SSD memory is the easiest way to upgrade an older machine and this did it very well. Made start-up and use so much faster.

I had a 4 year old laptop with a equally old hard drive in it. I wanted to spruce it up a bit. I bought this as I know it was about the size of a laptop hard drive. Luckily for me it works for laptops. I installed windows with a external usb and I’ll tell you what; it feels like a mew computer. I was worried that with the old processor and ram type that it still wouldn’t be very fast but I tell you what I was AMAZED at how fast this hard drive made my computer. Night and day difference loads windows and programs in a blink of an eye. I don’t know speed wise if it is actually noticeably different from other ssd’s but I do know that these are known for longevity compared to cheaper ssd’s. I bought this on sale but I am very happy with my purchase.

I bought this to replace an aging hard drive just in case. It went in effortlessly and is so fast. It boots up super fast and I have had no trouble whatsoever with it. 1 TB is great storage and should be great for years to come.

Picked up this drive as additional storage for gaming. I am running 3x of these Samsung 860s and 2x Samsung 970 NVMe drives with the OS being on the NVMe. Samsung has always been an excellent manufacturer of SSDs and this drive continues that trend.

I've had one of these in a smaller disk size for many years. It is extremely reliable and fast. I use it to copy VM's which are about 30GB each and I'm always amazed at how fast the copy is done. This disk is about 15 times faster than a fast USB drive.

I think Samsung is the best brand for ssd and this model is not the exception, very fast and reliable. Is been used to upgrade a HDD I an old gaming computer, it's amazing how fast the computer is now. AAA+++

I use 1 of these for my OS and have 2 in a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration. They're really fast for affordable, end-user SSDs. I've had 6 Samsung SSDs over the years with no problems with any of them so I expect these to work for years, as well.

Bought this for my MacBook Pro (Mid 2012), and I didn’t even had to upgrade the RAM. This thing is FAST!!! My MBP boots in 4 seconds (maybe less) and software opens and closes super quick and ready to use. You can’t go wrong with this SSD!

This Samsung 1tb ssd may be more than other ssd the Sam's size but it worth it because of Samsung's has the speed and reliability. There product are backed by there 5 year warranty. I use this drive in a Windows 10 pc and I get 549mb read and 538 write

I currently have a Hp elite 8300. And the standard Hard drive that came with it is so slow. With this SSD everything loads 1000X faster. Even booting up the computer. Here’s a review I did on it. https://youtu.be/WxmBax9vvPM

Upgraded Toshiba laptop hd to ssd. Used the free Samsung data clone app to clone hd onto SSD. SSD, once installed, booted right up. Boot time went from about 30-50 seconds to 3 to 5 seconds. Overall performance has increased. Highly recommend!!

Does exactly what it needs to while being a decent value. Not much other than that to say. Samsung SSD's are some of the overall most reliable. If you need a decent value in SSD this is a good midrange pick

So far, this drive is a great improvement on my original drive. Faster and hopefully more robust than the one that failed due to it being solid state rather than disc. I am pleased with it and the price I got it for.

Bought this to clone a hard drive in my dad's laptop. The software from the website was easy to find and use. The process to clone the old drive to this SSD was simple and fast. I easily recommend this product.
