    I got it at a good discount, but it's well worth spending the extra money. Far too many lower priced brands ship with buggy, undertested firmware, figuring they can ship now and patch the bugs later. I had the above happen to me with PNY SSD. Took about a month of troubleshooting before I got this drive just to see if PNY unit was bad outta the box. Yep, not a single issue since changing to this one.

    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.

    Great results with both 860 evos. They test faster than my previous Intel 545. The drive is pretty thin and light weight. When I accidentally applied downward pressure on the ribbon cable during installation, the plastic ssd housing near the SATA interface appeared to flex and be separating. No damage resulted, but made me treat these with more care than with older metallic cased hard drives.

    I've always liked Samsung products, and trusted them. I did some research, and read up on different SSD drives; and a lot of people seemed to like this drive. It's very fast on boot up, and read and write speeds. So, far I have had no problems with this drive. I wish, I would have gotten the 1TB drive when it was on sale during the holidays. Also, make sure you go to Samsung web site, and download their "Data Migration" software, it's very easy to use; and very fast.

    Bought this to replace the slow HDD in my PS4 Pro. Even though it's less storage (1TB is stock), the speed increase in boot up time, loading speeds, and download/install speed was worth it. I didn't need the extra storage space of 1TB because I only play 1 or 2 games a year. I have bought other Samsung SSDs in the past and the quality of their products is always there.
