Was guided toward this product by Geek Squad personnel while they were repairing my older MacBook Pro. Seems to be working fine and price was reasonable.

Cloned a SATA laptop hard drive with the Samsung SSD. Very fast as expected. Should have gotten a larger capacity SSD so I can do more! Minimum should be 500 GB.

Problems, not sure of the cause

Not sure if it is the product or the installation, but there have been serious problems since. My printer could not be detected/installed. Geek Squad [3 levels of techs] could not solve the problem. They said they spoke with Samsung. New printer occasionally needs to be re-booted. Have lots of Samsung products and rarely a glitch. Other peripherals and rest of functions work great.

I was not given instructions after installation of a new hard drive.
problems with new hard drive. My financial institution did not recognize my new hard drive, for instance. Have a new appointment with Geeksquad to straighten things out.
Telephone connections are impossible; wait times impossible with no answer anyway. Nothing but frustration!

Bought two for raid setup, they were fast, problem is one has failed after less than a year, very irritating. I was running Windows 7 64bit and had just received the last Microsoft updates they were handing out. To top it off my network drive failed to save other updates for my hardware!
