Reliability is key
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung ssd are pricey but highly reliable. After all, isn’t reliability what counts!?!? Saving a few bucks on a brand-x that turns out to be unreliable is a complete waste of money & time. And worse - you may lose your priceless data.

Wow!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I replaced my old hard disk drive with this solid state drive and wow... It's like I bought a whole new computer. If your computer is running slow and you think it's time to look at a new one just replace your hard drive with a solid state drive and you'll be blown away.

Still going strong; Samsung is the standard
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still going strong in my main PC all these years later. Samsung is not always the cheapest option, but their cloning software, speed and reliability make it the choice when you want the best. I have never had data loss issues with Samsung.

Easy to use, incredible performance increase.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used this product to replace the 5400 rpm drive in a Dell laptop. The speed increase is amazing. I used an outboard drive box and the Samsung software to clone the original drive over USB. Then I swapped the drives and I was done. Couldn't have been easier.

Excellent SSD
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great SSD drive! Ended up buying this to replace my older Evo 850 and I love it so far. Fast read and write speeds. One thing, if you can afford to get the 1TB version please do so as media is taking up a lot of space in today's world.

Disk Drive are a thing of the past
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Prices on solid state drives have been cut in half almost. I picked it up right away when I saw the price cut. And I love it! I had an optical drive before and now my startup times are less than 10 seconds. Crazy performance boost on bios times, noise levels, and file write speed

Old laptop much faster and easier to use

Speedy hard drive.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Samsung SSD is great. If you haven't upgrade from a mechanical hard drive to an SSD yet, you are depriving yourself greatly. SSDs are so much faster. You won't believe it until you get one. Then you'll hate yourself for not doing it sooner. Go. Get it. NOW!

Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good product by a brand that has been making some of the best SSD's out there. There might be cheaper priced SSD's, but this one has worked out very well with consistent speed and has lasted for many TB written as a cache drive on my server.

Really sped up my older Mac Mini
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used this drive to replace the original HDD in my 2011 Mac Mini. Even though it had 16 GB of memory, it was sluggish by current standards. This drive really made the computer usable again and was a fairly easy install. Glad I got it and very glad it was in stock same day!

Replaces old, slow hard disk
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Any user who is still using a hard disk and not upgraded to a solid state disk should upgrade right away. Samsung makes it easy with Samsung Magician which clones your old disk to your new one without having to reinstall the operating system and load all your files over agan.

1 of the fastest SSD
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Item made for desktop PC's or laptops ! Don't know why is listed as " for Laptops ".Seems just as fast as all the media outlet benchmarks claim. Was on sale; wanted two 1 TB models but out of local stock so settled for 500 GB. Can't really go wrong with the Evo series.
