Fast drive for Win 10 operating system (boot drive) and applications. I also use a separate 1TB EVO drive for bulk storage.

I installed this in my 2009 MacBook Pro 15” and what an increase in performance! If you’re on the fence don’t hesitate especially for the price.

Like others have mentioned, it makes your computer boot-up time and overall performance much faster than the traditional HDD. I also have purchased SSD's from other MFG's and wanted to try Samsung's version since I am familiar with their other products. It works great and I gave it 5 stars for that. The only con I might mention is being that it was installed in a Mac computer, and as far as I can tell, the Samsung software is not supported for the Mac which is a bummer but no deal breaker for me but overall it seems to function exceptionally well.

Best Buy was very helpful in getting this item. The drive works fantastic, and is a much needed upgrade from my old 850 EVO 64GB drive. However, I don't recommend using the Data Migration tool. It copied the partitions in the wrong order, and it made the drive unusable. I had to use 3rd party software, and even that took several tries to get the partitions correct! It is a very quick process, though. Took less than 7 minutes to copy.
