Great value and great speed

Solid so far
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The drive replaced my defective 850pro while getting rma'd. It was pretty inexpensive and works pretty well. Definitely not as fast as the pro but it's quite close. For the price it's definitely nice and really can't complain.

Samsung 500Gig Solid State Drive
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use this drive just for the operating system. It's super fast.

Super Fast Startup
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before I switched to an SSD, my desktop took 15-20 minutes to fully cycle during startup. Once this SSD was installed by Geek Squad, the startup cycle took 2-3 minutes. Plus, programs run so much faster. Excellent product!
