Upgraded a 6 year old HP laptop after current hard drive failed. Laptop is faster than first purchased, and boots up to desktop in 15 seconds. Runs much cooler as well. Highly recommended!

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.

Fast storage! For the price that it is you can’t beat it. Extremely easy to assemble and plug in. 500 GB is enough to get you started on every platform and perfect for a budget build.

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.

Blazing fast SSD. Installed it on a 2012 MacBook Pro (13) that was pretty much retired. Combined with a RAM upgrade from 4 to 16gb, it is now the perfect laptop for remote learning.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Researching similar SSD drives they are pretty close as far as quality and price. Overall the Samsung just seem to have some better ratings. If you are going to a SSD for the first time it is amazing the difference.
