    Fastest SSD available. If you’re transferring large files, like RAW files, this is one of the best options. It’s a bit pricier, but clearly one of the fastest options. Highly recommend if performance is your top priority.

    Slim profile of this hard drive makes it easy to place in any PC build. Saving and moving files to this drive are fast; especially if you're coming from the "older" mechanical hard drives with platters. Difference is night and day.

    I replaced my 500 GB ssd with the 860 EVO 1 TB about 6 weeks ago and it has been working great from the beginning. The Samsung software that came with the EVO also made migrating the files from the old ssd to the new ssd very easy. Very satisfied.

    I have used the 850/860 EVO series SSDs for several years and outside of older BIOS that don't handle any SSDs correctly they have worked flawlessly. Definitely worth the few extra dollars compared to the competition for the reliability.

    It replaced built in seagate on Dell xps8700. Samsung comes w no screws, no cable. The Dell has no holes for 2.5 drive. I bought plastic 2.5 - 3.5 adapter. Download Samsung migration software- and ran it for 1tb usb2, took about 3hrs. No hiccups.

    I changed it with the old SSD I had been using for years. The thin and light body, comparing to 5yo drive surprised me. The drive works as advertised, no problems with the bios nor any OSes. The continuous write rate is around 380 MB/s.

    Much faster than HDD's and only slightly slower than NVMe / m.2 drives. Use it for the majority of the storage needs like photos/documents/music and reserve NVMe / m.2 drives for the operating system and games that have loading screens.

    These are probably the best 1TB SSD drives out there. BB is pretty close on pricing. Wish you could find someone interested enough to actually open the locked cabinets. Makes you want to just order it online...

    This is the first SSD I ever used. It’s very fast and smooth. Very low noise and you can hardly hear any sound. I strongly recommend this.

    This is my first time building a PC and my first time installing an SSD. The first thing I noticed was the speeds! Everything opens up almost instantly. Booting up takes about 10 seconds.

    I purchased this to replace the HDD in my wife's laptop, and so far it's working like a dream. It may not be the speed of an m.2 NVMe drive, but at the price I paid, it was a steal. Samsung has once again proven itself to me.

    Surprised that the Data Drive received the low GB count and the OS drive had the 1TB . Nothing was in my Data drive. Thought I had lost all of what was in my data drive, but found a folder on my desktop called Geek Squad Backup that had all those Data Drive files. Couldn't transfer them to the D drive because it had the low GB count that was in the original OS Drive. So, I have to go to the backup folder to retrieve any of my other files. Didn't get this state drive put in till 7-25-19 even after buying it on July 2.

    I decided to take my older laptop and switch it over to SSD. I have tested it and it is definitely faster than it was before. I am planning on doing the same to my newer laptop, and my desktop soon. I wanted to use my older one as a test.

    Purchased to be used a 2nd SSD for storing PC games and other data only. Works great right out of the box and recognized by Windows 10 immediately after assigning a new drive letter in Disk Management app.
