    I have purchased around 10 of these in the last 6 months. They seem to be very reliable and come at a reasonable price.

    I bought my PC for like a year ago and it seems like it's kinda slowing down.. so i researched for solutions how to bring back my pc to its snappy r/w speed and quick boot up time. I just bought 250gigs just to install my OS and Battlefield 5... NO REGRETS and i would totally recommend this upgrade for those who still have HDD with their OS installed. I actually convinced my brother to buy for himself too for his new PC... 5 years warranty is a PLUS can't beat performance for its price.

    I bought this SSD to upgrade my 7-year-old Gateway NV77h19U (yes, I said Gateway...lol). It was performing very slowly, even though I had upgraded the HD to a 1TB, a few years back. The speed improvement is amazing. Not just on startup, but how fast the browser windows and productivity programs (like Excel and Word) load as well.. I'm happy with my purchase...much cheaper than buying a new laptop--especially ones that have my specs. Bought an external drive sleeve from Best Buy to turn it into an external drive.

    New Life to Macbook Pro

    I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro that was really starting to lag. Very slow start up and shut down, spinning color wheel between apps. Most of the slowdown happened when upgrading to Sierra, then High Sierra. Found some good info on changing to a SSD hard drive. I connected the new drive to a sata to usb cable and then cloned the drive. Took around 4 hours. Then around 20 minutes to install The drive and do a little cleaning. It was a major improvement! Don't hesitate, it was very easy.

    Best, most-reliable SSD series I've purchased

    This is my second Samsung SATA SSD in the EVO series, and I am once again completely satisfied in the incredible boost in performance. I have an aging HP laptop that was nearly unusable. I cloned the old drive, slapped this new one in, and the laptop has a new lease on life. Yes, it's that dramatic. If you haven't caught on, switching to SSD is the way to reinvigorate an aging computer. At these prices, it's a no-brainer. Go with Samsung. The reputation is there for good reason.

    This was my first time attempting an upgrade. After a day or two of trying to get the migration software to work... I discovered, after much searching, that you have to initialize the disk in disk management. Once that was done the pc and migration software had no problem and worked on first try there after. Speeds are as advertised and brought my three year old laptop up to the current model spec.

    No reason to use any other drive. They run a good speed and they are reliable. Other brands always seem to fail.

    Easy install, good value for the money and was pleased with the availability. My need was less than what this Samsung delivers, but I decided to go a bit larger because of name and price. I will always look for Samsung first, I think the value and performance are unmatched. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
