It works!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased two other SSD’s on sale from another vendor because they were on sale to install in a Mac Pro (1,1 2007) hot rod project machine. Long story short neither worked leading me to believe that I had an issue with the logic board in my computer so I returned them. I purchased the Samsung EVO To confirm that the machine had internal hardware issues. With no hope whatsoever I installed the EVO and... it worked! Formatted and fully functional within about 3 minutes. Only time will tell how it performs in the long run but Samsung has a decent reputation for a reason so I expect it’ll function as well and as long as any other SSD. My only issue (and the reason for 4 instead of 5 stars) is that I wish they offered a preformatted and trim enabled drive as an option or at least some downloadable way to enable trim on legacy Mac OSX versions. Minor quibble but one worth noting as Apple doesn’t make it easy to enable trim on 3rd party SSD’s.

Posted .Marat:
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 860 EVO SATA III SSD.
Please know that the 860 EVO Series SSDs are compatible with Mac OSX. However, on Macs, TRIM is only supported for Apple's OEM SSDs and is not supported for Samsung's (or any other manufacturers') aftermarket SSDs. Apple has placed a feature - known as kext signing - onto their OS so as to not allow TRIM to run on 3rd party SSD's. This is not a Samsung SSD issue, but rather Apple limiting the use of 3rd party SSD's on their products.
Should you ever have questions or need assistance using this product, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

Great addition to my Computer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I actually bought two of these. I bought the first one when I built my PC. I did not want to cheap out on my main hard drive, but the issue was that it filled up pretty fast. I should have bought the 1TB hard drive but I didn't have the money at the time. The drive boots up fast, and I use the main drive for work and the second for holding all my games. I really like these, and would buy another if I ever need more space.

Fast!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed this in a Lenovo - IdeaCentre 720-18ASU Desktop and it made a noticeable speed difference. However I would highly recommend researching and reading up about SSD / Flash Memory and "Wear Leveling". In short don't fill the drive to maximum storage capacity and it will even last longer. So don't let what I just wrote scare you away. Just be aware of it to get the most out of your purchase. BTW, I have Never had any problems out of my Samsung SD and Micro SD cards over the years.

Good SSD
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good SSD to speed up your system. Have been using it as an external SSD by using a USB 3.0 cable to store files. Should be more reliable than external HD that fail sometimes. Only thing, more expensive than Sandisk and WD SSDs which I prefer because of good free cloning software.
