    I have tried different SSDs throughout the years but nothing beats Samsung in quality, reliability and app support with the Samsung Magician.

    I used this to replace a rotating media drive that was failing. Once the data was transferred the boot time was 3:30 compared to 15 minutes with the old drive.

    Very good SSD at a reasonable price. However, I would recommend buying a 1 Tb if you plan on downloading A lot of games. 500 fills up quickly.

    Not fast as the Pro but put 1 in your laptop with the Samsung software and it's screaming. Put 2-8 in raid zero in your Desktop and you are in the extreme zone screaming!

    it´s a world of difference if you just change your old disk with an SSD. With little money you can upgrade your laptop and really feel the difference in speed and response.

    I loved this upgrade to my computer. I went from windows 10 home on a crappy HDD to Windows 10 Pro on this bad boy, and it’s like a new system.

    I was skiptical that I could get this working but it was pretty painless though I was using my Acronis s/w instead of that which was included. System runs about 30% faster.

    Purchased this drive to replace original platter drive in older Dell laptop. After backing up my data, cloned drive and then installed. Seamless transition. Much faster startup and shutdown. Have not noticed a huge improvement in program startup but I'm sure there is. TIP!!! Make your life easy... ONLY USE SAMSUNG'S DRIVE CLONING SOFTWARE! Called "DATA MIGRATION" Available on their website, name is in drive's documents, use search tool on Samsung's website to locate. Also, if using Windows, make sure to scan/fix your original hard drive with chkdsk before attempting data migration.

    I purchased this Samsung to replace the Crucial MX500 I installed two years ago. The Crucial died. I expect better quality and performance from Samsung.

    Had picked up two of these because they were on sell . However they are much quicker then the sandisk that I usually get for computer work that I complete for clients.
