    A quick, cheap SATA SSD that has great compatibility with many generations of hardware. Purchased for my aging workstation from 2013, and made a significant speed difference going from 7200rpm HDDs.

    I bought this to replace an old HD in a laptop. I've bought a few Samsung SSDs in the past and have never had an issue. I love that the laptop boots up in 30 seconds vs a few minutes with the old HD.

    The drive is fast. I usually buy these drives and never have problems. The cost is great and anytime I need to replace a laptop or even a desktop drive I buy this particular one.

    I'm getting 520 / 550Mbps write / read speeds on this SSD. As advertised. This is the most cost effective upgrade you can make to any computer using a 7400rmp SATA Hard drive. Super happy *\o/*

    Samsung - 860 EVO 500GB. I have been buying only Samsung products for a few months now. This and the other Samsung products I've owned over the years are always dependable and have worked flawlessly.

    A great mid range drive with performance and DRAM

    Samsung SSDs are just pricier, but you do get more for your money as well. This drive uses some of its storage space for caching so you won't see 512GB or even 500GB. But it does have DRAM as well, which is important in performance. It is one of the fastest "budget" drives out there. I have owned many different brands of SSDs, but I always come back to Samsung because they just work and even a mid range model like this performs very well. I get over 500MB/s sequential read and write speeds. It definitely increases the boot time of my Thinkpad T430 and I know that I don't have to worry about.

    For only $90 you really can't beat it. Does the job, good boot speed, plenty of storage, and affordable. No cons.

    Still the best brand of SSD. Using this one as the boot drive on an old system that does not have m.2 ports. Probably would go 1TB or more if for storing games.

    Replaced my old crushed SATA Drive with Samsung - 860 EVO 500GB. Huge difference in performance. Had a hurdle trying to re-install OS. The solution was to reformat hard drive to an older system.

    This sped my computer boot time up incredibly fast. I can’t believe the amount of time it took off of startup and the time it takes to access files. Great product. Would recommend to anyone.
