    I upgraded the HDD of myLenovo K410 desktop to this SSD with RAM upgrade from 6 GB to 16 GB and what a difference in boot up time it has. Great SSD with 5 yr warranty. I just downloaded the Samsung migration software to clone my HDD. Very easy to do.

    Able to be used as extra lightweight mass storage in my PC. Secured with a little adapter. Not the fastest SSD out there but the price is reasonable.

    This Samsung 860 EVO 500GB Internal SATA SSD is great. I replaced an old SATA spinning disk drive and now my computer boots up in seconds, not minutes. This has been a terrific upgrade that didn't cost a lot.

    This SSD Samsung 860 EVO is awesome. The speed of my machine has increased dramatically and there are no lags in running multiple programs. If you are found waiting on your device more than you like i'd suggest switching to an SSD. The difference is phenomenal.

    This product is often a little more expensive than similar products but the free migration software that comes with it (free for download) is at least a $25.00 value. The first SSD I purchased was a different brand but I will never buy anything but Samsung again.

    SSD drive significantly improves PC performance

    I purchased a new PC earlier in the year, but was very frustrated with the amount of time it took to boot up Windows 10. Now it takes 15-20 seconds rather than more than about a minute and a half. Easy to install, lots of YouTube videos to guide.

    If your computer has a service bay, or you can get in the case without damaging it, an SSD will dramatically improve performance and reduce batter usage, improving battery life. I've had this installed for several months now and it has been reliable.

    If you want to bring live to a aging computer upgrade to SSD drive. It will operate 5x to 10x its current speed. Operating System and Apps loads faster. It makes using laptop and desktop enjoyable again. Hard drive spinning disk is the slowest part in the computer.

    Tested Transfer rates of existing Solid State Drive in my system. Old drive was at 138 MB/s Sequential Read, 121 MB/s Sequential Write, This drive tested at 560 MB/s Sequential read, 530, Sequential write. Basically, 4+ times the performance over older drive.

    I was referred to this as a good storage unit by a friend who works on the Geek Squad and I have not been disappointed. Boot time is less than 13 seconds, reliably, and I have such short load times for my main games that I keep on this SSD.

    Great Speed Low Price! This is a must have for someone who wants to upgrade their hard drive but can’t afford to spend a ton on it. I had no trouble cloning my old drive to the new one and the boot up time is quick.

    I had a new internal drive on my dell laptop. Computer works better than new. One thing for sure. I only spent about $100 to have the new drive for the computer, other wise I would have spent over $1500 on a new laptop. BIG SAVINGS

    Great Quality, I would always recommend an SSD over an HDD any day. My laptop went from taking minutes between me clicking restart, and the user desktop being visible on my screen to no more than 20-25 seconds max.

    Used to upgrade my laptop from the HDD it originally had. HUGE improvement - boot times are now in the 10-13 second range and no 5 minute HD thrash period as all the stupid little start-on-bootup programs are no longer fighting over access to a mechanical hard drive.

    Had to replace the hard drive on my laptop. It was time. Had been thinking about switching to an SSD drive for a while. Not any more difficult to install than any other laptop hard drive. OS install was quick, updates were fast. I was back up and running in no time.

    I started with this drive and have bought 2 more. These things wake up a laptop like you can't believe! The Samsung software for data transferring and then the magician to monitor and to speed them up are amazing

    The SSD is pretty fast. I currently have the 850 evo in my old laptop(dell inspiron 13 7347). There is very little difference. The ssd was $119 when I bought it which was a steal. I might return it because I don't really need it now. Might get an 8tb hdd instead.

    One of my daughters had a desktop computer that was out of disk space. Rather than add a regular hard drive I put this ssd in her computer. I used software to transfer the content of her old drive to the ssd and made it the boot drive. It is way faster than before.
