    I use this drive for my operating system. It made my computer boot up a lot faster than before with my HDD. I would definitely recommend to a friend, I’m very satisfied with how the product operates.

    Very nice hard drive and works better than expected. Turns a slow laptop into a very usable device and load times from cold start to login are around 6 seconds with windows 10

    I have used several of the Samsung 860 EVO SSD's to replace older hard drives. So far, we have had no issues with any of them and this will be my hard drive of choice if I need another one.

    I have an older laptop with an A6 Vision processor with reasonably fast clock speed, and maxed out the seen with 16gb RAM. This hard drive shows a better performance increase than when I went from 4GB to 16GB ram

    Got this SSD on sale and it’s a great upgrade to an old iMac I had laying around. I would highly recommend this for older computers. I would go with the Pro version on the newer computers as it can use the full speed from the Sata 3 controller.

    I installed this into my ASUS ROG laptop and exchange out the old HDD. It fit perfectly and was exactly what I needed to get the old beast running again. Boot up is very quick and I now have a crisp feeling gaming again

    Used it to speed up a Dell desktop that used to have a slower hard drive. Easy to install and no problems installing Windows. You can also monitor this SSD by installing Samsung Magician.

    The old hard drive was giving out in my laptop so ran on down to my neighborhood BestBuy and bought this on sale. Affordable and so far so good. Boots faster and hope it lasts till something else dies on my old trusted computer.

    I just built a new Ryzen 5 system and purchased the Samsung 860 EVO SSD to run my Windows 10 and other software. I have a separate hard drive to store all of my personal files. My boot up times are lighting fast and I couldn't be happier.

    I installed the 860 evo in my kids 2010 MacBook Pro and google a video on how to do it. Unbelievably fast now! We will see how long it lasts. As of now I will recommend the purchase.

    Replacing the traditional disk drive in a PC is a great way to significantly boost performance for a minimal cost. The Samsung EVO line of SSD drives perform well and have good life.

    Formerly the best SATA 3 SSD around, it has been replaced by the 870. I have no idea what the difference is but both are great!

    This drive is rated 550 MB/s sequential read when connected via SATA 3. It is wickedly fast, boots windows 10 in 5 seconds from POST to login. The endurance rating is higher than any other SSD I researched.
