I have an older Samsung 500GB SSD in a work laptop and never have any trouble. I bought this model to replace older HDD in plex server machine and was very happy to see warranty is still 5 years. Other manufacturers including WD is only giving 3 years. It's fine if you don't need it (and my older Samsung is going strong), but when you do better to know you have 5 years!
I had separate WD HDD NAS drive fail within 3 years and even their RMA process was not so good. Get the Samsung! :-)

I replaced a failed mechanical Toshiba drive in my 2010 MacBook Pro. The replacement procedure was flawless, and has, so far, been working amazing. It sped up my old machine quite a bit.

I had the previous model of this and it is still going strong after a few years. This one seems a little faster and hopefully will last as long. I'm going to buy another for more game installs.

Reasonably fast drive. Not as fast as I'd hoped, but a good improvement over the traditional drive, particularly as the desktop is about 4 years old.

Installed this drive to replace a failing drive. So far this thing has been the best purchase out lab has made. The computer has been reborn, and the cloning software worked flawlessly.

I have been using these drives for the last 2 years and have not had one fail yet. This drive will more than double the performance of your computer and is extremely power efficient, durable and is great for laptops and desktops. The Samsung "Data Migration" software tool makes it really easy to clone your existing drive over to the new drive and then you just swap it out. You will need an external drive enclosure for the drive duplication and it is not included, but they are relatively inexpensive and you can then use the drive enclosure to put your old drive in and use it as a backup. In any case, I highly recommend this drive, I believe it to be one of the best on the market.

Honestly these ssds are so afforable and fast they were a no-brainer. Samsung has the fastest speeds. I needed to dual-boot my PC and this was much cleaner than partitioning my existing drive.
