Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did not purchase this due to the fact that my computer no longer could be saved. But you all were so wonderful with your help. I did end up purchasing an HP Chromebook.

SSD made it four months before failing. BB Geek Squad replaced it at no cost. Had to reload software. BB good, Samsung SSD not so good.

My MacBook didn’t recognize this hard drive, my 2.5 enclosure didn’t either, I couldn’t even format it, maybe was defective! I returned and got the crucial mx500 500gb for $70

I guess this is a good hard drive. I am not tech savvy so I can only say that it works, it’s quiet and I don’t get the upgrade notification any longer.

My previous cheap 128GB kingston drive that is 3 or so years old and is faster than this drive. Its OK but better stuff out there.

Good for OS, and is stable enough with a 5 yr warranty.

My old mother board fried so the geeks installed a new one! Computer will last a few more years.

This is a solid performer, good read/write speeds, and good construction.

As soon as I began using this drive, I got random freezes while doing anything. The SMART data shows "UDMA CRC" errors occurring whenever I experience the freeze. I replaced my SATA cable, moved it to a different SATA port, different power plug, etc. Nothing made any difference. I attempted to contact Samsung tech support, but they were completely useless. After much frustration and searching, I finally found out that this drive has a firmware bug that prevents it from working with an AMD SB950 SATA controller. I returned it for a refund. Never buying Samsung SSDs again, which is a shame, because their past products have all been excellent. Kudos to Best Buy for accepting my return without any hassle.

I love Samsung products but I think I got a messed up ssd

good product, I would recommend , this to any one

I bought this drive with the hopes that I would be getting a VERY fast drive with minimal cost. It is over priced.

Upgraded my Dell XPS 8920 which had a traditional 1TB HDD to this 860 EVO. Benchmarked at 521 MBps read, 401 MBps write, Random 4k average 49.7 MBps, and Deep Queue 4k average at 232 MBps (according to UserBenchmark). Practically speaking, it is miles ahead of any old HDD and I noticed immediately upon rebooting. Everything from booting, Chrome, and every other application starts considerably faster. Highly recommended.

It runs normal and smooth but it’s not easy at to install completely in the Dell 2-1 Laptop.

I had to have Geek Squad replace the hard-drive twice within months. The laptop was only used a few times at school. No warranty on hard-drive.

Hopefully this one works out...purchase same item in August 2020...had to return for a replacement ....

Installed this drive in a 10-year-old HP Pavilion. The computer boots up now in less than 15 seconds and is usable again! Love the speed and silence of SSDs!

I've had this SSD for 6 months, and so far it's been a solid performer with no issues, and the price per GB can't be beat.

I installed this Samsung 860 Evo 250GB SSD in a late 2006 20" iMac, I had to use the Fenlink SSD Mounting Bracket Converter for Samsung SSD to make it work, bought on Amazon, BB does not carry such an adapter that I could find. The Samsung SSD brought our old iMac back to life. If you have one of these older Macs, you will need a copy of the OS on a DVD to make all of this work, unless you are cloning the old HDD that came out of the machine. I wanted to do a clean install, so a copy of Snow Leopard was purchased from Apple, this is required to do a clean install on these older Macs. The new Samsung 860 Evo works as advertised, booted right up with no issues. I have one in my 2017 21" iMac and it works like a champ. Highly recommend.

Bought another one of these to throw in my old pre-build that I ended up selling since I transferred my other one to my new PC build. 2nd time buyer, Samsung makes good SSD's. I'll be a return customer.
