    Have used this drive over a year with no issues. Speeds are still great but overall product is still pricy.

    The Samsung 860 Evo has the best migration software wizard. The I/O operations at 98,000 and write at 90,000 is better than the WD blue specs. I have the 840 Evo and the 860 Evo both work flawlessly. My OCZ drive failed after 3 months.

    Samsung is generally known for having the best quality products in the product categories the compete in, and this drive is no exception. And fortunately the price has lately dropped on SSDs in general, making this drive affordable.

    Worked great. Had a third party clone the hard drive to this SSD and install it in my desktop. They also upped the ram from 4 to 12 GB. Turned the computer from a model T to a Corvette.

    I returned the SSD because it was defective. After trying several new clean installs the SSD would corrupt the master boot record every single time. Using chkdsk commands didn't work and it's unfortunate because I did like the speed that I got from this product. At this time I'm not sure if I'll buy this product again because I think it's better to hold out for the pro version instead of the EVO.

    This is definitely an upgrade for any computer. Once switched to a ssd after having a regular hard drive I can never go back. The speed and performance is just unmatched in all ways possible. If you can I highly recommend this product.

    Speedy drive, at least, compared to a mechanical Hard Drive, it really brings life back into old PC's. Boot time from "off" to desktop on mechanical Hard drive was like 4-5 minutes for a newer HDD and like 7-12 minutes for old used HDD. While with THIS it's around a minute and half. If you have an old computer with a mechanical Hard Drive, I would recommend one of these, if you have a new computer get an NVMe M.2 SSD instead, it's WAY faster.

    Make sure to download the entire OS for PlayStation when replacing the hard drive. Not just the most recent update file. (Scroll down to the second link). Hope this saves someone from hours of frustration.

    I decided to try this SSD to replace my C: drive. It has really helped the responsiveness and boot up times. The drive copy software that you download from Samsung works just fine. No problems booting up on the very first try.

    This is a great upgrade item for an older laptop or pc. The drive replaced a 3.5 in a desktop and the speed increase was well worth it.

    Needed to replace the original hard drive in my wife's laptop and I thought an SSD would be quicker and more reliable. The Geeks installed it in a matter of minutes and my wife is very happy. What more could a guy ask for?

    I purchased this Evo to replace the 1 Tb hard drive that came with my HP windows 10 very easy replacement. Having the Evo 500 gb is a world of difference so glad I made the switch it's much, much faster load time and response now.
