    Best Upgrade for your older computer

    Samsung SSD EVO's are really great, and using them to replace old SATA drives (not IDE) really give your computer a new life. Instead of buying a new computer, start with a Samsung SSD.

    If your just getting into upgrading your computer this is a great start i do recommend that you do a 500gb or whatever the next step up from the 250gb is (mainly bc windows 10 takes up a little more space than id like but easy to change and upgrade) very simple didnt need a transfer cable setup was a breeze plug and play, reinstall was less than 10 min. next step ram sticks!!

    Unlike the other brands this Samsung comes with easy to download software to clone your Windows computer. The software was easy to use and worked very well. I am using this ssd in my Dell XPS desktop computer. It is connected to the computer via a spare SATA port on the mother board. It was very easy to install in my computer.

    Hard drive is a great upgrade for any IDE hard drive. Boot to desktop is around 15 seconds+/- ( minimum startup ). This is a significant speed improvement.

    It was used to replace an old ssd as windows 10 boot disk. I used Samsung Data Migration tool to copy the old ssd to the new Samsung ssd. It worked perfectly. It booted up the first time with no issue. All the data was migrated without any issue. Since it was migrating from another ssd, I do not notice any significant improvement in boot up speed. All my other Samsung ssd's have been reliable. Hopefully this one is too. So far so good.

    Used this to replace the slow 5400rpm drive in my dad's laptop. Trying to do anything on it was taking forever with the drive light showing heavy disk activity. I suggested an SSD, and then discovered that the platter drive was, in fact, failing. That prevented me from using Samsung's drive cloning software, but I created a new Windows installation disk and was able to get his personal data transferred via thumb drive. Now he is able to do what he wants in very little time, and this drive has enough storage for his needs.
