    This SSD card was definitely worth the money for faster loading time when building PC the first one I got was for the booting system and the 2nd one I got is for storing my PC games and can provide a faster loading time for gaming

    Love this drive. Will always buy Samsung’s. Have had nothing but positive experiences with them. Migration tool is great. Added this to my laptop for extra space. File transfers are quick. I also do music production and pointing my DAW to this drive when recording is great.

    I ran out of storage with the original HD in my PS4 and need more space and hearing the benefits of a SSD I thought I would try it. I watched a quick YouTube video showing how to install it and it works perfectly and loads certain games much quicker than before.

    This is a beastly hard drive, and it's been awesome so far. Multiple SSDs on my older editing PC, unfortunately due to my mobo not having ports, I can't get any m2s. This was a massive upgrade as my main drive, and a huge benefit.

    Used the Samsung Magician Transfer utility to move data from an older SSD to the 1TB 860. Swapped out the drives and my PC booted flawlessly. Have used the Samsung for years and have always been impressed with their reliability. Highly Recommended!

    I have a more than 10-year-old Sony VAIO laptop computer with a hard disc drive in it. I had purchased three different advertised gimmicks that were a waste of money. After doing research and comparing SSDs, I finally broke down and decided to replace my old Toshiba HDD with new Samsung Solid State Drive. My laptop has NEVER worked as fast as it does now. ALL functions are faster; nearly immediate. It took me less than 10 minutes to remove and replace the old HDD with this new SSD. While replacing any HDD with an SSD may improve your computer's performance, I know from personal experience that Samsung SSDs are made to withstand "a licking to keep on ticking." More than well worth the money that improved my laptop's performance and eliminated the use of a lot of vulgarity caused by frustration from having to wait and wait and wait on an HDD.

    Used this to replace an HDD for Dell Inspiron AIO 23. Boot up very fast and loading of games is very fast also compared with the previous HDD. Very easy to install because their are lots of reference in internet. I dont know why, but it also improves the graphic for some games.

    This new SSD by Samsung is a great product. I highly recommend it. From the first time I turned my system on with the new hard drive it is lightning speed fast. I couldn't have made a better decision while deciding what Hard Drive would be best for me.

    I have been using SSDs since 2007 and have used most of the popular brands of SSDs. The Samsung 'EVO' line has never let me down and I'll bet I have bought more than 40 of them over the years for my clients and myself. A few of the other brands have failed but never a Samsung EVO.

    Aside from their storage capacity, Solid State Drives beat Hard Drives in just about every category. Of the different brands available, you can't go wrong with Samsung. It's so quiet and efficient, you won't even notice it's there—which is just as it should be.

    My 2015 iMac was slowing down, so I purchased the 860 EVO, and used it to clone my hard drive. I now use the EVO as the drive for the iMac. I back up the EVO to an external drive, and twice/month, I clone the EVO to the internal HDD. Works great.

    My Windows HD was running at capacity most of the time due to all the bloat from the Win updates and start up processes. My IT friend told me to switch over to a SSD. The cloning process took an evening. Now the start up processes are done with in 20 seconds.

    Purchased to upgrade for a 2nd gen PS4, and then moved into a ps4 pro. Other than only being able to use 861 GB for applications and what not which sucked. Not sure how much of the used 139 GB space is used for SSD or ps4 software. Overall really happy with this upgrade.

    I put this in my HP Z400 workstation SATA2. Works great even without SATA3. replaced an old WD black drive. This thing screams. Like having a new machine. I installed Windows 10 clean. Installed the Samsung Magician software to apply the utilities. No issues.

    Upgraded from an older SSD and this was even faster. With rapid mode enabled the R/W speeds are in the 3k range, without it they are around 500MB/s. Either way, it's super fast. If M.2 isn't an option for you, this is the next best thing.

    Threw this drive on an older system and installed windows on it. It boots up in 20 secs or faster!!! Made me feel like I had a brand new computer. If you have an older setup and want to breathe life back into her, add an SDD. Will blow you away.

    I had a 2TB 7200rpm hard drive in my laptop 16gb 17 quad processor. It was ok until I replaced it with this SSD and it like another whole laptop from the future. i run Adobe Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC, Photomatix 6, and several other programs that all runs absolutely flawless.

    Needed a new ssd for a new computer build. I didn’t want to wait for an online retailer to ship it to me and I took advantage of Best Buy’s price match guarantee policy and bought it. It will be a secondary drive to store games and such. I highly recommend it!

    I swapped out my desktop and laptop hard drives for Samsung SSD drives. My 8 year old laptop in particular was like getting a new device. So, next I did my home built desktop. The transition was smooth using a readily available cloning program.
