    SATA I & II compatible but not to full potential

    I bought this expecting to make my old Dell M1330 faster and it did but not to full potential. My computer came originally with SATA I HDD and this SATA III speeds are not achievable. Newer hardware is needed to see full potential of this SSD. If I knew this at the beginning I wouldn't had invested in a top of the line drive, I would bought a cheaper brand or older SATA I SSD or SATA II SSD, even a discontinued used one that would had done the same job for way cheaper. By the way there no geek squat support along with this product at least for free and I have not been able to reach samsung support either.

    Overpriced for the product. Much better price to performance SSD’s out there. It is quality but you’re paying for a solid brand and not getting a ton in return.

    I was told the product had screws to anchor it to a server tray but it did not. I have to get those. I haven't tested yet. I would recommend with this caveat if my tests are successful.

    Will revise once I actually use it. It's too small for my gaming desktop so I'll need a caddy. Just sitting for the rewards points.
