    I upgraded my hard drive from a traditional to a SSD and my old computer became like new again. Boots up in 12 seconds. After that I upgraded my other laptop to a SSD. Don’t ever want to take a step back. Perfect drive.

    Considerably faster than my crucial M500 from a few year ago. Wasn’t sure if the new SSD would make a difference but definitely does. If you have a normal HD it’s a no brained upgrade. Spend the money no matter if it’s on sale or not.

    The Evo Sirius has been one of my favorites. Great for basic high speed everyday use. I use them in my own machines. The software that you can download from Samsung website makes migration to an SSD and Drive monitoring easy.

    I've bounced the question "why not some other brand" off my computer repair friends and they all come back with the same response: reliability. Installation is super easy using Samsung's software and the performance increase is incredible.

    Purchased this SSD for an upgrade to a ASUS ROG laptop. The SSD is very fast and a huge improvement to the original hard drive. You cannot go wrong with Samsung SSDs are they are very highly rated.

    I'm a professional digital imaging specialist so I need an incredible computer at home to handle my work. I've been running my Mac Mini hard since I got it new in late 2014. I ordered mine with a 1tb HDD which was working great until I upgraded to Catalina. I also recently dropped new Adobe cc programs like photoshop 2020 and Microsoft office suite onto my computer. I finally started having issues. My Adobe software was running like a snail until I dropped this SSD into my Mac Mini. Man it's flying now! It's running like the day I bought. Incredible & read write speeds! Definitely get one of these if you need a performance boost in your computer. It's made a world of difference to me. Deadlines are real and we have to meet them! Every second counts.

    Best SSD on the market - it's fast and makes a huge improvement if you're upgrading from a standard spindle hard-drive. Best Buy often has a great deal on these too. It's worth the updrade.

    Great workhorse of an SSD. Yeah, it's not as fast as the m2 nvme drives now days, but that's SATA's fault. I still run these as storage drives and they're definitely a lot faster than spinners.

    Works great. These go on sale often. There's a newer version of this product, though. I'm using this drive as my Boot drive, and my computer starts up in seconds with this SSD installed.

    Breathed life into an aging laptop. Runs better than it did when it was new 5 years ago! The only downside is I wished it came with the necessary cables and hard drive cloning software.

    Upgraded a Lenovo W530 and this thing flies. Used the software to clone the existing drive. Temporarily mounted the SSD drive in an accessory caddy (DVD slot). Then swapped the existing drive out.

    Piece of cake to install. Did so after my build as I decided to pull the trigger on more storage because it was on sale. Had to look up how to get the computer to read the hard drive, but was worth it.

    I had a standard hard drive in my laptop and replaced it with this Samsung solid state drive. It was more expensive but well worth it. The speed is amazing! No more defragging to increase the speed.

    SSDs are the way to go, atleast in 2.5 form if you dont have the newer slot compatibility. have bought 3 of these and each one has been a breeze to clone the older drives and replace with these.

    I purchased this SSD to replace a Samsung 500mb SSD that was running out of disk space. The installation instructions were very easy to follow and the downloaded Samsung Magician software automated the data transfer quickly.

    I was looking for a way of using a SSD with a bigger space for my old PC but with less money. The 860 EVO 1TB internal SATA worked perfectly to transfer all my data without an issue. I would recommend it to anyone.

    The drive works great, it was very easy to install. Unfortunately my case did not have a bay for it given that it is an older atx case but I manage to found mount points and have had no issues.

    This was my initial Computer Service action I experienced with Best Buy Hyannis . The Geek Squad onsite was helpful in my initial contact, I needed an appointment time slot in order to minimize waiting time. My Intake Tech was polite and knowledgeable. He explained the cost of diagnosis, cost of increased memory drives and the Geek Squad comprehensive home support program. I found the cost of diagnosis and memory drive installation was close to buying the Geek Squad protection plan, so that is what I purchased. The estimate time for service, installation and "computer improvement" all happened within the tech's stated timeframe. I was pleased with the Geek Squad total protection. Leo
