    I got a SanDisk in my desktop. After I replace this one, I could feel it's better speed than others

    My 4 year old conventional hard drive in my laptop was failing; I decided to replace it with a solid state drive. In the 4 weeks that I have had the machine back in my possession; I have been extremely pleased with how it is operating.

    Used this to replace and upgrade the harddrive in my PS4 when the original harddrive failed. Now have a much faster system startup time. And the load time for games is extremely fast compared to the stock harddrive.

    I purchased a Samsung 860 EVO solid state drive to replace the hard drive in my new Dell PC, because SSDs are so much faster than hard drives! Now my PC runs at warp speed and I'm delighted with this very inexpensive upgrade!

    Outstanding! Samsung is the best Solid State Drive on the market. This the third Samsung SSD that I’ve bought. You can’t go wrong buying a Samsung Drive. The failure rate for SSD is almost zero.

    I bought this SSD to replace my standard HDD on my laptop. I had hesitation with the Evo 960 PCIe, but the 860 is above my expectations and the "magician" Samsung software makes this SATA 6Gb SSD the best quality/price/size I could get.

    I cloned this as a back up to the C drive on my desktop. Had to do the swap once and this thing was on the job and go from the start. Great specs and a good price - my desktop computer loves it.

    My PS4 Pro is the second model cuh-7100. I play monster hunter world and other game on it like dbd. The loading time is super fast. You definitely will see in-game screen loading time improvement.

    Put this in an external housing and connected it to the Mac Mini with USB3. Switched settings to use it as the startup and it made the startup and operation much faster.

    I bought this SSD for a gaming pc build. I decided to only use this SSD for the OS, Drivers, and programs that i use on a daily basis. The SSD works great, gives my PC an incredibly fast boot up time. Would purchase again.
