So far "mostly" so good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My computer did not recognize the drive at first. I had to reformat it to be recognized. On a whole it is a little faster than my 7 year old Crucial SSD that it replaced. I had to select a yes/no on whether I'd recommend it so to be fair I chose yes but I would couch that with the following cautions. What follows may be due to the age of my hardware and Windows 7 but: 1. UEFI Bios does not recognize it as a boot drive so on every reboot I have to go into the Bios boot menu to get it to recognize the drive. 2. Started getting hard disk controller errors after installing. No problems I can see in performance or any notice of the issue but it shows up repeatedly in Windows logs. I ruled out bad cables and switched SATA ports but have not resolved it. No errors on the same port if I switch drives. This doesn't cause any obvious problems but remains unresolved. These are not major issues but in 20 years I've not had these problems with other drives. It makes me wonder but as I said could be attributed to the fact that my machine is upward of 5 years old (but built right from the start) and running Windows 7. Your mileage may vary.

Made a huge difference in my old 2011 MacBook Pro
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was about to sell my old 2011 MacBook Pro for pocket change on Craigslist when I came across an article about swapping the old, slow physical hard drive for a solid state drive. The installation was very simple and made a HUGE difference in performance. The MacBook Pro is very usable now, especially with 16GB of RAM.

Reliable and not expensive
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I know prices for SSD’s fluctuate so as of now mid summer 2019 it is a really good time to buy some ssd and there is no better ssd than this one. Samsung includes their own software so you can monitor its performance and see if there’s been any decline I’ve had mine for about a year this is the second one I buy my oldest one still works like I did when I first got it. So now I’m buying another to add to my rig. These are the best drives highest quality most reliable. Nothing bad to say about these

Samsung EVO 500GB SSD swap-out
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was my first SSD swap-out and the process couldn't have been easier. We replaced my wife's 1Tb mechanical HD with the 5X faster Samsung EVO 500GB SSD and it went from being a dog to a race hound. We couldn't believe how it revitalized her laptop. The cloning process went flawlessly and now I plan to replace all of the HD's in our other computers with Samsung SSD's. We are very happy that we didn't have to replace her computer. Jeff.S
