Used this for an upgrade on the storage of my late 2011 MacBook Pro. Works great and have had no issues since installing over 2 years ago. The drive is speedy and reliable.

The EVO series of drives are are hard to beat. I've owned several, and have not had a single hiccough from any of them. They are not the cheapest out there, but they are worth it.

SSD's are much faster than hard drives and should be considered when data transfer rates are important. The price of this drive and it's size make it a good choice when replacing or adding a drive to your system.

Very quiet and cool temperatures. Quick reads and writes for any type of desktop computer build. Samsung is the manufacturer and technology leader of tbe 3d nand stack technology so why not buy it from them.

My old hard drive took a minute and a half to boot to the sign in screen. Now with the 860EVO it takes less then ten seconds. Once up to my desk top with the old drive I would walk away for ten minutes because he system would not respond to anything I clicked. Now the system is ready in around ten seconds. With old drive it took thirty seconds to just open word, now it’s around two seconds. I brought my all in one system in and had the geek squad install the drive and clone over the old drive. I went from a slow go kart to a Porsche for a little over two hundred bucks.

I replaced an 120GB HP SSD with this Samsung and the difference is amazing. Don't let anyone tell you that all SSDs are alike, this one is much faster than the HP SSD that I replaced. Easy install.

Needed to replace my SSD Drive for my PC. This bad boy did the trick and is really fast. The higher price is totally worth it for this drive. Plan on getting another one!

This thing saturates the SATA bus at around 600 MBps. Boot times are almost instant, and games load faster compared to spinning hard drives. Haven't had an issue with this yet.

Used it for OS and any other boot services I had and works like a charm. Was good for a budget build where I will have games stored on a separate drive eventually.

I have never thought that just by replacing my old hard drive to this drive would speed up my 5 year old pc by over 100%. My boot up time went from 3 and half minutes to literally 15 seconds!

Bought 4 of these drives and they are great. I'm using them as cache drives in a QNAP array. They are fast, reliable, and work very well. Highly recommended!
