    I prefer Samsung drives especially when upgrading PC's to an SSD. The Magician migration software is very easy to use and works with their drives. I primarily use the drives for external storage on my MacBook for editing videos. Even when connected using a USB3/SATA adapter, its still fast. If it always is on you desk, you don't really need a case, just the adapter (make sure it has UASP - means fast read/writes).

    Worthy Hard Drive Upgrade

    This is the second Samsung SSD that I used to upgrade my laptops. Samsung gives 3 years warranty on its hard drives which is far more coverage than other manufacturers. After cloning, computer speed has improved at every aspect, particularly booting up. Price has been coming down making it more affordable. I bought this 1 TB for $109.-, $30.- less than my 500 GB that I bought 2 years ago.

    I’ve been using solid state drives exclusively for several years. The difference in computer performance is astonishing... like the difference between high speed internet and dial up. Samsung EVO is a solid name brand with a great reputation. What are you waiting for? Buy this drive, replace the old school spinning drive in your laptop. You will be shocked by the increase in speed and performance. I’ll never go back.

    I think Samsung SSDs don't need any reviews, but here it goes! I don't buy any other SSD when I need a mission critical storage device. Almost all my NVMe and SSD devices are Samsung. No issues, excellent performance and great temps. When I buy a product the purchase is usually based on quality, performance AND operational life expectancy!

    I filled up my Samson 970 plus M.2 NVME (boot drive) quicker than I expected, so I added this SSD and have no complaints. The read/write speeds are great. It only took a few minutes to transfer 400+ GB of games from my boot drive to this SSD. I don’t notice much, if any difference between loading games from this drive versus the M.2 drive they were previously stored on. Glad I bought it, no complaints.
