    Fantastic Drive Easy to use Migration Software Originally bought a 500gb to migrate OS to but it was easier to buy a larger drive to migrate everything to use my old HDD as a storage drive. Great Product.

    This device replaced the old 2010 1TB SATA HDD in iMac 27in. There are many online videos to take you through the process if you are handy. This is a great device for replacing old HDD on both Macs & PCs.

    Much Faster than a HDD

    This is the second SSD I've installed to replace a HDD. It's easy to do and the resulting install has worked flawlessly. One caveat - use the AOMEI clone software instead of the downloadable Samsung cloning program.

    Upgraded a laptop from a 7200 rpm SATA drive to this drive. Night and day difference is response and boot speed. Cloning and Smasung Magician software are a free download from Samsung.

    My laptop disk drive failed, and I chose this solid state drive to replace it. Not the cheapest alternative available, but a reasonably priced choice for dependable, fast performance. I am very pleased with this drive.

    I’ve started using these SSDs in a RAID 0 array for capacity on my gaming rig and couldn’t be happier with the performance. A great value for the money you can’t go wrong with the EVO line from Samsung.

    It's a hard drive that boots quickly. I installed it and it booted to the drive. I wound up rebuying Windows 10 because this drive would not install Windows from the previous hard drive.

    Cloning software is perfect, don't even bother with Acronis ( returned their SSD). Boot up time after the upgrade - 8 seconds (a minute and 45 seconds before), shut down is instant. Samsung is the best.

    I use a nvme for my os and put my games on here. All my games load faster and I get into multiplayer games quicker than my friends. I’m gaming within a minute or 2 of turning my computer on.

    Best SSD purchased, I used this with some equipment I bought on Amazon to extend my Hard drive space for my PS5. The extra 4TB SSD is absolutely worth it. Highly Recommended.

    This SSD is older, but still an excellent choice for a fast and reliable consumer drive. If you value capacity and quality over speed, this is a good choice, especially when you see it on sale.

    Never had a problem with a Samsung SSD. Reliability is the most important criteria for any drive. Samsun isn't the least expensive, but the only brand that has never died on me.
