    If your laptop is slow install one of these and change it's life... I recommend saving your files and do a system restore. Your laptop will basically be a new computer...

    Makes my PS4 run 100x faster

    I was pretty unsure if I wanted to buy this since the PS5 comes out in late 2020, but honestly it was a great purchase. It makes load times go by MUCH faster, I can actually enjoy my game without sitting in a loadscreen for a thousand years anymore, and it also wasn't hard to install! (That's coming from someone with ZERO tech knowledge, other than knowing how to use/play it). My only thing is to MAKE SURE you back everything up and remember your email and password for any/all PSN accounts..I had forgotten to back up one of my accounts and now I have to start over on a game that I put in a little over 200+ hours on. It's as if you're buying a brandnew console, it's great!

    Great addition to any computer. This ssd is 30% faster read speed than the others available at the store. Got it for a killer price ($120) and it performs great. This won't have to be replaced for years.

    So far it’s great. MacBook boots up like when it was new and runs all apps without hesitation. Lots of space. Should’ve upgraded sooner. Chose the EVO based on reviews. Not disappointed

    Using this SSD to replace a seagate HD in a Jukebox. Jukebox boots and loads much faster than the original hard drive did. SSD is being used for music files. Very happy with my purchase.

    I had a Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 2.5, which was really nice and fast. I had this drive for several years and it died without warning. I had another Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 2.5 died shortly after purchase. I decided to go with the Samsung. It as been working great. I wish I could had gotten the 2TB version. You want to get more life out of a older computer/laptop that seems to running slow then get this drive and breath another couple of years into your current system. then when you upgrade to a new computer take this drive with you to the new laptop/desktop. If you have the know-how then it is simple otherwise get Geek Squad to help you out.

    Samsung - 860 EVO 1TB Internal SATA Solid State Dr

    I have been in the IT Arena since 1967. I have seen a lot of changes and one of the Best Changes (available at BestBuy) is the Samsung EVO SSD Series. I have replaced SATA HDDs in Servers, ThinkPads, WorkStations in multiple states and of course in my own Servers , Computers and ThinkPads. Simply put, they are Excellent! It speeds up Computers to the point that they seem like new Computers. If you bump your ThinkPad or LapTop you won't lose Data or Ruin your Hard Drive. Try one and you will see the advantages immediately. BestBuy offers great "Data Duplication Devices" to make the UpGrade/Replacement a simple process, Try them and you will be glad that you did. The BestBuy Prices are excellent too.

    Casual use you can't tell a real world difference between this and the EVO 970. FAST and RELIABLE SSD. Using for Xbox One X and soon Xbox Series X via SSD case/USB 3.0.
