SSD are the real deal and the Samsung does not disappoint. I have never had a SSD before but putting this in my computer and installing my operating system on it took my computer that would normally take anywhere from 2-3 mins to load into windows down to 25-30 secs to get to the login screen. WOW that is a huge difference. I have had no problems with this product and as of now am a firm believer in the SSD.

Let's just say my bootup time took from a few mins to less than 30 seconds, which includes all the background applications.
It is a stable and fast hard drive, never had to change it and it can replace any SATA hard drive connection you currently have. Works with a laptop or desktop. A Desktop will require a mounting bracket for it to fit.

I have an HP tablet 2 years old, but was incredibly slow. I took it in to Geek Squad and they suggested that I should change out the drive to a Solid State Drive. It has less memory, but is by far faster than when I first got the Laptop. It was well worth the investment. I highly recommend it to anyone that has the same problem,

This is for the:
Samsung - 860 EVO 250GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive
For $70, you can't lose. It has sped up my computer big time. I didn't bother getting the 500GB drive as my last computer only had 130GB used out of a 700GB drive. If I need to store stuff, I have a back up drive.
But get the size you need, you will be happy you did.

I purchased this drive to replace a spindle hard drive that was failing and was looking for a drive that as a great point between performance and cost. This drive has been great, no problem so far and easy installation.

A friend of mine had a PC which had a corrupted OS and needed an OS installation.
To speed up the OS installation, never mind the use of the computer afterwards, I needed an SSD, and this was a great value, particularly given that the user of this computer hadn't even used half of a 500 GB hard drive.

I had a BestBuy team member help me and HE pointed me to SSD product for slow computer. This one comes with cloning software for easy installation. I can now say my computer is running super fast on switching profiles, running windows 10. Takes about 10 secs to login in compared to 2-5 minutes for a HDD. Will be back for the next one for laptop. Thanks Best Buy
