I put SSD's in all my computers. Samsung EVO's are a great middle of the road drive in their lineup. For the money, I would buy these over other brands. Samsung Pro's are better but for the purpose, the EVO's are perfect.

There's a reason why these are a little more expensive than many others; they're faster, reliable, and come with a 5 year warranty. I've installed nearly 10 in the last 2 years, all still running like new.

Bought this for my dads laptop to replace the HDD. Super easy to clone the HDD to the new Samsung SSD. My dad approves the speed difference. I’ve used older models of this drive and and those are down right amazing.

Drive was easy to install on an older Toshiba Satellite, making it much quicker and quiet. The Samsung Magician app gives additional information about the performance and state of the drive.

So glad I updated my hard drive. It is fast, no moving parts to break and will last longer. Geek squad team is great and they explain everything even a novice can understand.

If you have an older PC or laptop that needs a new hard drive, you won't be disappointed with this drive. These things fly. They are very easy to install and can make an older computer really run like a new one.

I installed this in my less than year old laptop that had a mechanical HD. It was a night and day difference!! It boots into windows in less than 10 seconds and everything loads and processes so much faster.

I bought the laptop for my 12 year old's Christmas gift. He dropped it after only a few months of use. It now runs faster and is much more sturdy that when it was new. Love it.

Benchmarks some of the highest speeds for SATA3. Costs a little more than most other SSD drives but the longevity and performance are worth it. I have had a few SSD drives go bad before but none were a Samsung.

If I can't use an M.2 SSD to upgrade a system, my second choice is always an Internal SATA SSD. The Samsung Evo line is solid, well priced, and I've never had one fail.

Not overly large storage capacity but plenty of room as a basic workstation boot drive for the OS and a reasonable amount of data. The main thing is the speed and reliability, which is great.

The Samsung 860 EVO was simple to set up and resulted in a dramatic increase in performance in my slightly older pc. And at a great price. This upgrade saved me from having to buy a new computer.

The product was reasonably priced and works very well. The salesperson and customer service was very good. My computer was serviced and picked up by me in one day.
