    This was a great purchase. When my laptop drive started to go out I purchased this drive and used the data migration software from the website to clone my old drive to this one. Now my laptop is super fast.

    Bought this as a secondary hard drive in my desktop. Why did I pick this one? It's a Samsung. I've never gone wrong with their products. I have two TVs, a tablet and a phone. I wouldn't choose anything else.

    This SSD is phenomenal. I owned a prior version of this drive and recently upgraded. This drive is insane! When compared to the prior version, the transfer rates are like 10x. I would definitely recommend this product.

    I had a lenovo laptop with 8 gig of ram and intel i7 cpu which never started or performed well until I replaced the conventional sata hard drive with this solid state hard drive. Now it starts much faster and performs as it should.

    This SSD has breathed new life into a seven year old computer. I was about to dump it when a friend told me about replacing the hard drive with a solid state drive. I did and just saved myself about $850.

    I bought this to upgrade the hard drive in the PS4 Pro I bought my nephew. I can definitely tell the difference in how much faster the games load now. This is a great item for anyone wanting to upgrade their hard drive.

    Thanks to a Geek squad suggestion, I added this drive to my laptop and it improved the performance dramatically. I had it cloned by the Geek to become the main drive and reformatted the original to become a pure data drive.

    My wife does a a lot of YouTube videos and was complaining of her videos freezing. We replaced her hard drive with the SSD and no more complaints of freezing videos. She also says her computer is much faster now.

    I bought this for my PS4 and now that I no longer have the PS4 it is in my old Macbook pro. Both systems saw significant performance boost. It is definitely worth making the upgrade.

    I exchanged my 2014Mac Mini Drive with this one and I must say that it works like a new desktop. Everything reacts great and it has no flaws. This is a SSD for a desktop if your desktop doesn’t support M.2

    I needed to replace the hard drive on my laptop. The Samsung EVO was a logical and economical choice. I easily installed the new drive and replaced the operating system on my computer. I highly recommend this drive.

    Simple PS4 Upgrade

    I bought this to insert into my PS4 - WELL WORTH IT. If you are not interested in getting a PS5 any time soon but still wish to improve the performance of your PS4 Pro a bit, an SSD internal drive replacement may be exactly what you need. Go search on YouTube, they have videos explaining how doing this will improve loading and rendering times. GTA V literally boots up 3 times faster than before. This won't give you better graphics or more storage space (unless you get a bigger SSD), but it will save you time and you will feel more versed in your games with how graphics will load and render faster and sharper.

    I switched out my HDD for this SSD in my 2012 MacBook Pro (because Mojave made my laptop slow way down). I have been happy with the results! So much faster and less scary to carry it around to classes all day!

    My computer is a 2015 Dell computer, that I notice was slow down on boot-up. Replace hard-drive with this Samsung SSD hard-drive and notice a huge difference and boot-up time and shut-down. What a major improvement!
