Bought it to replace the 3rd non SSD hard drive in may 2007 iMac. Works great so far. Everything is so much snappier. Startup is so much faster. Once I have logged in everything is much more responsive. Love the SSD. I bought one years ago.

It's in and it works, my computer is much faster than it ever was before with the solid state drive. So far so good but for now it works great.

What's to say? The EVO drive is still working fine a year and four months later, although I cannot tell any difference between the EVO and a couple of cheaper PNY drives I have.

I wanted to upgrade my gaming laptop's storage with a Sata SSD (due to the motherboard limitation) and several of my friends recommended me to buy a Evo 860. It works perfectly, just as every other Samsung product I have!

Product is great, but order somewhere else. Best Buy service is awful and their prices are never the best. Sometimes you get lucky and they are competitive on pricing, but you will never get the best deal here.

The 500 gb solid state drive is a very good upgrade for my laptop also frees up much needed space.I would recommend it to a friend.

After my Dell Insprion 15 3000 series in only two years had a unrecoverable hard drive failure, the Geek Squad recommended this drive with a next to no failure rate. If any defect will go in short term...else will rock on for many years to come...So far , so good!

Bought this to supplement my NVME and SSD Pro unit for the TV show I edit. It was a hyper-simple install and works effortlessly. The speed with the Samsung software "Magician" Rapid-Mode is just crazy and almost as good as my Pro SSD. Great price & performance!

I bought this to replace the hard drive on my 5 year old laptop. It gave some additional live to my laptop. Boot up with Windows 10 took less than 5 second.

I wish the stores around me had one of the pros in stock but it’s fine I got 2 of these running raid 0 coming from HDD. Nice improvement overall. But I don’t recommend running these in raid 0 there is little to no gains and much less reliable. Hopefully this helps someone.

Data transfer was so easy. downloaded a free HDD to SSD clone and was a breeze, computer is brand new but wanted to upgrade to SSD. Samsung also has a great essential tool kit called Samsung Magician. Great for drive health, updates, and more.

Best Buy Geek Squad is amazing at solving all our electronics issues. They recommended this internal SATA solid state drive. We can count on the Geek Squad to point us in the right direction. Thank you, Best Buy!

I had bought a Sandisk SSD and the software was terrible for cloning, returned for Samsung and it was 123 and cloned in 10 minutes!!!! Best Buy had no problem with the exchange. I highly recommend Best Buy and Samsung products!!! Hands down! !

We purchased this to back up one of our MacBooks. We were able to completely back the laptop up to the device just Incase something happened when we were cleaning out the Mac. We now have all our pictures/important files stored on one small device !
