I put this 860 EVO into my wife's aged Toshiba C655 laptop, running Win 7, and maxed out with only 4GB of memory. It loads everything quicker and it was an easy install using the Apricorn SATA Wire 3.0.

Had the Geek Squad replace my old computer's hard drive with this new solid state drive and the desktop works just fine. It has been two months; will see how good the long-term reliability is

Fast, quiet and efficient storage device at a very reasonable price.
Download and run the Samsung Magician app and see for yourself the performance improvement over a mechanical hard drive.
This drive did not come with any cables or other hardware such as a 2.5 inch mounting bracket but those items are common enough to pick up. I give 5 stars for performance but 4 stars overall due to no accessories with the drive.

If you're not familiar with SSDs, I think Samsung is the best out there. Easy to install, good transfer software, and very fast SSD. Transform any HDD computer to be like a new computer.

Fast, large, and does what I need it to! Was in the market for a new SSD that is larger than the 250gig I have my OS on. This is exactly what I was looking for and I am happy with my purchase!

I have bought a number of EVO 840 and 850 drives, and they have performed quite well. The 860 lives up to the presedence set by the previous versions and I look forward to buying more. Highly recommended.

Speedy performance. This is a great drive. I am using it in an older IMac to get faster response for dual boot windows and OS X. It brought it back to life.

I'm amazed how much faster the drive is. The Magician software not only carves out a bit of the drive for overhead, but it also has a cool performance test you can run on all installed drives

Bought 3 of these as gifts for the holidays for a steal price. Not a single issue with any of the installs, very happy. Used a hdd duplicator and re-installed. Done, everyone has faster systems.
