    This breathed new life into an old laptop. Popped it in, installed Linux Mint, and everything has been great since.

    I use this as an external drive for my Xbox One. It is much faster than the internal hard drive and it makes Pubg a less frustrating experience.

    SSD came with software and step-by-step guide for OS migration. My PC now takes seconds to power on and boot up rather than minutes.

    I'm an owner of a computer service company and I only install Samsung SSD drives for anyone under the age of 75. I've installed hundreds of them (literally) and haven't had any problems other than an occasion issue with compatibility with some AMD chip-sets, but I blame AMD for that. If you have an AMD system, I'd still buy the Samsung,but I'd buy the PNY as a backup in case you find that the Samsung drive is slow.
