I bought this drive to use as my boot drive for my pc and it does not disappoint at all. My pc starts up in about 7-12 seconds and I even have a couple of games installed on there as well.

I mistakenly purchased a WD Internal SSD and it wasn't working. That's what I get for buying a bundle when building a PC. Get this or any Samsung SSD. Samsung is a great product and I can't recommend it enough.

I have changed my laptop drive and my mom's laptop drive for this and you can feel the difference, from booting to day to day operations. Pretty smooth. And even better that the price has went down lately. Highly recommended

Finally ran out of space on my 120 gig ssd main drive in my 7 year old PC. Added this and now I'm set. Added all my programs to this as well. No need to put them on a storage drive as there is plenty of room. Its fast!

I has a 1tb hdd and decided to buy a ssd. With all the information that I read on ssd the right one was Samsung 860 evo 500 gb. I glad I did because it is 2 to 3 times faster up loading and downloading.

I read reviews on different SSDs. They all recommended this Samsung one. I am glad I picked this one up. The overall performance difference is very noticeable, when you transfer the operating system partition onto this drive.

This SSD is the perfect size for those of us that don't routinely clear out space on our hard drives (old photos, documents etc) while allowing a faster response time at start up.

I bought this Samsung EVO SSD to replace the standard HDD I had in my laptop and it was a great investment, I had expected a 35 to 50% boost in performance and disk speed but I got over 70% in the final test

Upgraded my 256GB SSD to this 500GB because I was running out of space. Was able to use software off the net to clone my old drive onto this one and start it right up. No issues, worked first time.

I use this drive just for the operating system. It's super fast. All other software is on a separate 1000Gig solid state drive. This gives me plenty of extra room, and unbelievable speed.
