Upgraded my 5 yr old HP laptop with a 1tb sata spin drive to this ssd drive. I bought a Sabrent usb 3 to sata housing to connect the evo drive to the laptop via usb so I could clone the existing drive to the new evo. Super simple and fast using Samsung’s software. Swapped drives after cloning and it booted right up. Went from a minimum of 5 minutes to boot and open web browser to under 30 seconds. Everything runs so fast now! Highly recommend going to a ssd for old computers.

I bought this hard drive because it was the exact same one I had in there 5 years ago and it's still going strong but I just wanted to get ahead in case it failed I didn't want to be in a bind but so far both of them are running great

It's fast and reliable. Boot up time is very quick. The transfer process from old drive to this one was also very simple with no OS login issues. Needed the additional space so that gaming files could be kept on the main drive containing the OS. Sloppy programming on some games prohibited installing then on alternate drive locations.

I bought the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD to increase the video storage capacity of my eufy HomeBase 3 security camera system. It installed and formatted easily and quickly. It's a fast drive for video recording and accessing. It's been a great SSD so far.

This drive is fast and the install was really easy. Transferring my OS over to this drive using Samsung tools was also a breeze and worked perfectly. I am very happy with the performance and have not had any issues so far. I recommend this drive to anyone who is looking to increase space and performance.

Great purchase. Very easy to install as long as you have a data transfer cable - which I also purchased from Best Buy. Desktop now boots up in less than 5 seconds and all activities on the desktop are very fast. Inexpensive investment to improve the performance of your PC.

I have been slowly changing older SSD to all Samsung SSD. This one is replacing a failed 500GB Crucial. The one issue with SSD I guess there is no warning. The crash was about at 5 years on 75% max filled drive and my first SSD that created pain. The Crucial would not repair so I did not clone as I usually do. Not having a cloned drive caused much pain. One just does not realized all the little apps that get accumulated even on a PC.
I hope this Samsung gives some notice when it decides to fail but I am trying to stay under 50% to hopefully prolong life. I give it 5 starts not because anything special about this particular one but that my 2 other 870 EVO all seem to be doing well and 1 getting close to 5 year mark.
Final note: Best Buy did do a price match with Amazon and there was a significant difference at the time which was a surprise. Usually they are pretty close, with Best Buy winning due to instant gratification. The match was an easier process than I expected.

Great drive! Easy migration from old drive to new. VERY fast - really breathed new life into an over four year old laptop. And you cannot beat the specs regarding the reliability. Looking at buying at least one other for another laptop we have. And Best Buy's price was the same as that big online retailer so I bought it at Best Buy!
And the BB online experience was excellent with same day pickup. Definitely 5 stars!!!

The Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA is an excellent product. I bought it at a good price and its storage capacity is ideal for the work I do. The design and the size in which it was built fits perfectly in any laptop. His performance is excellent.

Purchased for my desktop as I was running low on storage. Very fast and reliable, and will fit all standard sized drive bays. Uses the standard SATA cable and power connector. There are faster SSDs than this one, but for the price, this will fit the bill for most people. Prices for SSDs have dropped quite a bit while the storage amount has greatly increased.

The speed and reliability of this drive is excellent, for the price. I had purchased this 1tb drive to be my new OS drive, as my old one was beginning to show early signs of failure.
After making a Windows 11 boot/install thumb drive, I installed the new Samsung 1tb SSD, got the install finished and registered my OS.
Everything wwnt smoothly and is running better. Excellent drive, easy to use, very reliable and efficient.

Well my previous one lasted around 7 or so years and eventually decided to stop working otherwise its an ssd. It did ssd things I would obviously prefer it to have not broke but that is the life of electronics eventually they stop working and things get replaced. Simpke installation tho and little issues till it stopped working price was also good imo.

This is amazingly quiet compared to my older hard drive. It is a smaller laptop size but did fit into the space where the full size original hard drive was located. Screws didn't line up, so I used zip ties. I am very pleased with the speed and easy installation.

I know we are comparing Lamborghinis to Ferraris and Porches here, but Samsung is still the GOAT of SSDs.
Upgraded my computer with some EVO870s, pulled my old 850s and used them in a case for spares. I found them so useful I bought a couple more 1TB 870s and two more cases for cloning my OS and backing up files.
It's more expensive than a portable HDD, but if you're tossing it in your briefcase, it's immune to the abuse that would destroy a portable HDD, and it's faster and higher capacity than a thumb-drive.
Highly recommend for upgrades and portable storage.

Works great and as expected. Currently using this SDD to dualboot Linux along with windows with no issyes. Good value for the disk space and speed of the drive. Easy to install and format.
