The SSD was installed into my daughters computer by tech support team when it was found that her hard drive had to be replaced. They did an awesome job and I haven’t had any further issues with her computer since.

i am pleased with the performance of the item purchased but the service with the Geek Squad "manager" was horrible.
he was extremely unprofessional. he was rude and kept over talking me when i tried to talk to him. not only that, the work he did on my laptop, he told me won't be guaranteed. if something goes wrong, my device isn't even covered! what a joke this whole experience was for me.
i am going to start shopping elsewhere because of the rude technicians i have experienced multiple times with Best Buy.

I intentionally bought this for a faster startup when loading Windows 10 as well as games. Can happily say I went from waiting 2 minutes for Windows and 2.5 minutes for Sea of Thieves on a HDD down to 40 seconds and 15 seconds respectively. Amazing.

Exactly what’s advertised. Installed this in my desktop to move my operating system from hdd to ssd. Samsungs cloning software was easy enough to figure out. Boot time went from about 90 seconds to 10 seconds. Got exactly what I paid for, no complaints here.

The Geek Squad saved my computer and my wallet once more! Was able to upgrade my hard drive and operating system after a failed hard drive. Extended the life of a well loved laptop - works like brand new - hopefully for several more years!! Very grateful!!

I upgraded to the Samsung Solid state drive and the process was fairly quick and easy. The computer boots up in less than 30 seconds now.

Samsung is the standard for consumer grade SSDs', The drive installed flawlessly with the download of Samsung migration software (wish they would still supply the CD, kind of hard to locate on site). Cloned the old drive and was back up in no time.

I use my laptop in the outdoors (sheltered, of course!) and wanted to make it more reliable and "bump-proof". The Samsung 860 EVO did the trick...PLUS the laptop used to take about 1 minute to boot, and now boots in 21 seconds! Very happy with this SSD.

Works great. I have three of these. Samsung is the only brand I use--even the rep at SanDisk told me some of the advantages (primarily more writes before it slows).
Excellent reliability and speed.

Bought and installed it into my brothers PC build. We have not had any issues, and his PC starts every game installed onto this SSD extremely quickly. Would try to use this in combination with an M.2 for the OS for most bang for your buck.

I used one of these to finish conversion of my Dell XPS 8900 to total SSD SATA storage. With this as a boot drive, and a pair of 850 EVOs as a RAID 1 array, the system pulls a 9.2 score in Windows 10 WinSat. A very good drive for the price!

Tasted a little dry but it was very filling! Definitely would buy again, even though it did not taste like licorice! But it was a sweet crunchy metallic taste. The Fiber rating is through the roof!
