    Got this SSD to upgrade my 10 year old Toshiba Satellite SDD. Tried clowning several times, including updating the SSD firmware, but nothing worked. Each install would boot just fine but after a couple of hours of use, the system would lock up and only a hard power reset would get you out. I clowned a 500GB WD BLUE SSD and the system is working just fine. Now it is too late to return this Samsung SSD. I purchased this on 7/15/2020, received it several days later but the last day I could possibly return it was 8/1/2020.

      CBGJ:

      Thank you for purchasing the 860 QVO SATA III SSD. I am sorry that you are experiencing issues using the Samsung Magician software.

      Samsung Magician Software is not for cloning. It allows you to optimize and manage your system for peak SSD performance. It also supports RAPID mode for 2x faster performance by utilizing unused PC memory (DRAM) as high-speed cache storage.

      The Samsung Data Migration Software is what you need to use to migrate all the data and applications from your existing drive to the your new SSD.

      Please give us the opportunity to assist you with step-by-step troubleshooting or warranty service. You can contact Samsung Memory Support directly via any of the following options.

      1) Call: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory) Available 9AM - 12AM EST (Mon-Fri)
      2) Email: [email protected]

      The Samsung Members Community is also a great resource for getting help from Samsung moderators and customers:  https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Get-Help/ct-p/get-help

      Samsung stands behind the quality and performance of every 860 QVO SATA III SSD we manufacture with a limited 3-year manufacturer’s warranty when purchased brand-new, directly from any authorized dealer, like Best Buy.

      Again, I am very sorry for the inconveniences you have had and hope that we will hear from you soon.

    A Decent Balance of Speed and Price

    Let me start by saying this SSD was designed to bring down the price of flash storage with a more cost effective technology. This Samsung QVO drive can hang with any SSD on the market. However, it does pose some limitations that might not be apparent from the Samsung logo. This drive is great for budget gamers as you get EVO quality speed on read performance and small file transfers. Loading times for games are incredibly fast on this drive for the cost. Real world use of this drive installed on windows or as a dedicated games library, is simply amazing. Where this QVO drive lacks is in large data transfers. If you transfer any files or combination of files over 6GB you will see speeds drop from 500MB+ to sub 80MB range. This lack of speed on massive data transfers is why I give this drive a 4 Star. This drive is for you if you are in the market for an upgrade on your current HDD and you want to save money on the build. Spend the extra $50 on the Samsung EVO if you are in the market for the best SSD with the best all around performance.
