    After installing, I installed the Samsung utility program and fine tuned this and a 1TB SSD that I used as the C Drive. Please with performance.

    Always liked the Samsung SSDs and now they are even more affordable. This is not the fastest SSD but well above the average. The setup was also easy.

    Got it on sale. Been waiting for the larger SSD hard drives to go down in price. With the sale price, they matched others with the same low price,

    In a rare departure, I had gotten a Crucial SSD a bit over a year ago. It has failed, so I replaced with Samsung. So much for getting the Crucial on sale. Hope the warranty is honored the spec are good, I'll use it for something not as mission critical.

    2tb for Raid

    I purchased this drive to add to a portable 2 slot raid. I am using a ProBox HUR6 enclosure with this drive and another 2tb platter drive. I have it configured as a Fusion drive, so it is seen as a 4tb drive. With the SSD drive as part of the fusion, it is very fast on USB 3 Gen 2. This is back drive fir my iMac. Purchased on sale so it made it a pretty good deal. I would not use this as your boot drive, even thou it will perform fairly fast. The drives stand alone does slow down with large files, but as a fusion it performs quite well.

    This is SSD has a large capacity and is pretty good when reading from it. But this type of SSD has a problem. It cannot sustain fast writing speeds with large files. It will start up pretty quick but will rapidly slow down after several seconds. As long as you understand it's limitations. it's a pretty good value for the price.,

      surfahdude:

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 860 QVO SATA III SSD and for your review. I am sorry to hear that you are not completely happy with performance speeds. Your 2TB drive was engineered to deliver speeds of up to 520MB/s Seq. Read and 520MB/s Seq. Write.

      If you haven't done so already, you may want to use Samsung Magician to run Performance Optimization, ensure that your motherboard supports SATA III interface, check that all performance related settings are set correctly (cached enabled, AHCI enabled), and be sure you have the latest version of the driver.

      As there are various factors that could affect speed, I would encourage you to call Samsung Customer Support if you need further assistance to troubleshoot your issue.

      1) Call: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory) Available 9AM - 12AM EST (Mon-Fri)

      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

      If you have not already so, we encourage you to register your new Samsung SSD at:  https://www.samsung.com/us/account/signin/?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.samsung.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2Fregister%2F

    Works great, 2TB samsung SSD for around 200 bucks. Not as fast as an evo, but a heck of a lot faster than a mechanical drive.

    This is a really good secondary drive. If you can get a good price on an M.2 NVMe then go for that.

    Great drive. Served its purpose speeding up an old 2013 iMac 27 that had a fusion drive. Also installed an NVME drive as the main SSD and that flies. Inexpensive way to speed up a laptop or desktop (with a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter)

    This was a much needed piece of equipment for my PC. Made the load times go from about 3 min, to less than 1 min. Also using for my main games to speed up loading times. Works amazing compared to hard drives!

    The product has a lot of memory on it and works great but I would make sure you check the memory reserve parts because it can if not checked take up a lot of space lowering the available space for your stuff

    I tried this as the one I wanted was out of stock. It has worked very well and since I'm using it as the back up for the main HD the slight differences in spec haven't even been noticeable.
