    What an excellent piece of hardware this thing is. Good price normally. Great price on sale. High quality Samsung drive and wow it's fast. Get rid of those cheap, decades old hard drives that are so slow and go SSD immediately. Your PC or laptop will triple in speed. Especially for gamers.

    For the price this Samsung Evo 870 solid-state drive was an excellent buy. Years ago 256 GB solid-state drives would’ve cost an excess of $500. Because of advancements in computer hardware and memory the price has dropped. I ended up getting this drive for one heck of a steel. Yeah, there is no software included in the box to help manage the drive however, you can very quickly go to Samsung‘s website and download a drive management tool. I would recommend this drive to anyone who can get it for the same price that I did.

    We have been upgrading our PCs traditional hard drives with SSDs and it brings new life to our PCs and speed! The Samsung 860 EVO SSDs are at the top of my list. They are very reliable and very easy to migrate data from our old hard drive to the new SSD. I highly recommend these and would trust.

    Samsung - 860 EVO 250GB Internal SATA Solid State

    Used Samsung's software to clone the existing drive to 860 EVO. It was a breeze and took about 15 minutes to clone it. Didn't encounter any issues. Now the 5 year old laptop starts up fast and feels new again. This solid state drive will likely extend the laptop usage for another couple of years.

    I have used several SSD brands over the past 10 years and Samsung has always been the most consistent in terms of price vs performance. I can easily recommend the 860 EVO if your motherboard does not support the M.2 format. Grab the 970 EVO if you have the M.2 support.

    The cloning software from Samsung's website makes upgrading a breeze. This is a non-mechanical drive with read and write speeds far superior to traditional hard drives. Startup shutdown and program loading is exponentially faster than before.

    My Intel 9600k and Asus z-390A Boot in less than 10 seconds. Highly reliable drive. Clean install of windows 10 pro only took 9 minutes through usb installer. Most of that time was me taking breaks and running through the set up process. Definitely recommend this SSD.

    I have a Dell XPS desktop computer that had Windows 7 on it, a 1 terabyte HDD and no SSD. I bought a new Dell desktop computer that came with Windows 10 installed on a SSD. The Windows 7 computer was so much slower to boot up than the Windows 10 computer that I decided to buy Windows 10 and the Samsung SSD in order to upgrade my old computer. Installing the new SSD and Windows 10 was easier than I expected and now I have two computers that boot up fast. Programs load much faster on the SSD than they did on the hard drive. You can't go wrong with a SSD.

    I did a revamp of an older desktop computer to use in connection with a scanner to scan old family photos and replaced the older hard drive with this 250 GB solid state drive. Boot up is MUCH faster and the drive is more than adequate for my scanning jobs.

    There are a lot of solid state hard drives on the market today and for what can be said about them in terms of reliability and speed, the Samsung line of evo drives takes that a step further with their data migration and disk magician software. Great!

    Runs much faster than standard drive and a good deal for the money as they have come down in price. Also the Samsung drives are supposed to be the fastest, but cost a little more. I really didn't see the speed difference myself on slower laptop.

    I wanted to upgrade my desktop. The staff suggested that as part of that upgrade, I add another drive to hold my operating system. This would help speed things up. It did exactly just that. It is a great drive for a very reasonable price.
