The original drive in my laptop went bad and this solid drive was suggested. Great choice. Start up is in terms of about 15 seconds as opposed getting bored waiting.

This rejuvenated my partner's laptop. Their Magician cloning software works great if you have the appropriate tools to plug it in externally.

I have bought a number of solid-state drives from Samsung and I was not disappointed when I bought this one. I had initial reservations about the price as it was a little bit more expensive than other SSD's that I had was looking at. Fortunately for me Best Buy had this on sale and I could not resist based on the sale price. The only issue I've had is a lower-than-expected TLC but I've been able to be okay with that

Installed it on my PS4 Pro and there was a difference in the loading times compared to the old hard drive. The loading times were decreased on the PS4 Pro with some slight smoother game play.

Definately worth getting over the 128gb for the price. Just be prepared for a pain if you already have an hdd that has over 500gb on it and need transfer just the OS. Took awhile to get a fresh install.
