My first SSD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're like me, you've researched the differences between 850/860/950/960 which means that this review isn't super necessary. Speeds don't really change much. That's because we're pretty much at the peak of SATA's capabilities. Warranty for the *60 SSD(s) is half that of the *50, but there's like more read/writes or something like that. Just do some research and find what's best for you.

Nowadays, the standard storage choice...!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Provides fast read/write access, enough space, reliable storage (no mechanical), 3 years of warranty. Pro version look better in paper, and I'm sure its faster because of the technology behind it, but this EVO version works just fine for us. Your network is as fast as your weakest link allows it to be, and rest assure that this SSD will not be.

More storage, faster ...cheaper.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To put into perspective -- I purchased a 128Gb Samsung EVO 830 SSD in 2012 for about $200. Over this holiday season 2018, I purchased this 500Gb Samsung EVO 860 SSD for $75!!! My how times have changed. That said, some 6-7 years later that old EVO 830 is still operational in my old ROG G75vw laptop, purchased at virtually the same time! Samsung makes SSDs that last!

Made my 5yr old laptop young again
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy install ... plug compatible with the HDD it replaced. (You have to be comfortable with unscrewing/removing the back cover ... and unscrewing/unplugging your old HDD ... it's really not that hard.) Faster than a speeding bullet ... a little poetic license there. ;) But really, sped up everything on my laptop a ton ... 5-10x.
