It Works Well & Faster!

I was a bit skeptical that this SSD would work as well as the HDD I have used for 5 years in my Dell PC, but it loads much faster, which is the reason I decided to go to SSD. I believe it will last longer too, since there is not spinning disk and drive to wear out. I wanted to catch the HDD before it "bit the dust", since I understand that all HDD's will after several years. I seem to have accomplished that. I still have my HDD in case the SSD goes bad, but I don't expect that to happen. So, my review is that "it works well, and loads much faster". Glad it installed the Samsung SSD.

This is the boost you need if you’ve maxed out your RAM and still need more powah for your desktop. Amazing and not hard to install. Would recommend.

Converting to a Samsung SSD on my aging laptop was a great decision. Extended the laptop for hopefully several more years. Plus, my aging laptop boots up so much faster.

I've only used samsung ssd's so I can't say how it compares to other manufacturers. I never have a problem with them. Don't forget to buy a SATA cable because!

Upgraded my standard HD to the Samsung 860 EVO. My Windows boot time went from over 4 minutes to just over 20 seconds (with exact same disk image). Couldn’t be happier.

Just like the rest of the EVO line up Samsungs quality and warranty are one of the best to deal with. For the price it was worth the upgrade. Perfect speed for what I use it for

Works well, best speed upgrade for any computer. If you are using a hard disk you need to update to an SSD. The performance boost is amazing.

Geek Squad replaced the hard drive on my laptop and it’s like having a new computer for a much lower price. Works great and Geek service is superb!

I added this drive to my 3-year old Dell XPS as I was increasingly frustrated with the boot speed. The computer boots instantly and Office 365 fully starts in less than 2 seconds.

I upgraded my 2011 Dell XPS 8600 and the boot time is now way under 30 seconds. Cloning the old hard drive was a piece of cake and I was up and running quickly.

An outstanding upgrade for any computer with a standard harddrive. Upgraded a cheap computer with this SSD and it starts up at least 10x faster.

I picked this up as an experiment to revive my 2012 MacBook pro and it did the job. With 16gb of ram and SSD upgrade, the laptop tremendously reduced on load times.
