Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this drive for my old Lenovo desktop, which kept running slower and slower. There was a dramatic improvement. So 5 stars for the drive but 1 star for Samsung's product support and software. A reasonable person who installs an internal SSD would expect to be able to make it bootable. But neither Samsung's "Magician" software nor their migration software could do that. Samsung's tech support said that since the computer wasn't a Samsung, they couldn't help me; I'd have to contact Lenovo. Lenovo wouldn't help because the machine is obsolete. I tried installing Windows on this drive from an install flash drive. It would boot but didn't work right; there were long delays with the circle-the-drain symbol on the screen, and it wouldn't shut down completely. Finally I cloned the old drive to it with Macrium Reflect, and, after two tries with the rescue disc, it worked and it's been happily ever after.

Works well and this SSD is good for a smaller computer case.

I was tired of my old HDD making various grinding and screeching noises, so I decided to purchase a new solid state drive. This Samsung drive ended up being the best option for me due to my previous experience with Samsung products. I have been pleased with it. Whisper quiet and my old PC seems much much faster than before. Reasonable price for the 500GB, so it is a good deal.

One the best SSD's on the market to revive old laptops or add storage to an existing PC. Plus, the Samsung Magician software is the best on the market to manage not only this SSD but all installed HD's in your machine.

Good harddrive. Nice cool color. Performance and speed is much better that ivo 960. Good price. Nice quality. Best buy like usual the best.

Vastly improved my computer immediately upon installing, I think this I my 4th Samsung hard drive. You definitely won’t go wrong with Samsung!

Bought 4 of these to upgrade my pcs from spinning hard drives. Good solid SSD drive with great specs and speed, price avg for the drive . Migration software is also a great feature. However I had one Lenovo AIO pc that no matter what I tried the cloned drive would not boot . But an old I7 1st gen that was taking 4-5 minutes to boot now is booting and capable of running any app in about 45 seconds.

Samsung Magician cloning software seems great .

These Samsung EVO SSD hard drives are the best deal for speed, storage and reliability. Best Buy usually has a great price on these. Go for it, your computer will work great!

My go to SSD hard drive. Samsung SSDs can't be beat for a consumer grade drive. These guys are reliable and the increased speeds over a spinner is crazy. I typically buy these on Amazon but at times Best Buys price and convenience is better.

The drive itself was super easy to install, it was a drop-in replacement for the factory hard drive. The swap took less than 10 minutes. Then I did a clean Windows install in order to not move seven years of detritus over to my brand new drive. That's always a bit of a chore but now it's all done and my laptop runs some operations literally twice as fast, I'm not kidding. It also runs quite a bit cooler and the fan doesn't run so often, making it quieter. If you still have an old fashioned hard drive in your system, I can't recommend enough swapping in a SSD. You'll be glad you did.

Very pleased with this drive. Feel the price was very reasonable and the difference in my laptop is outstanding. I had to replace the hard drive which came with my HP because it was taking hardware errors. Because of this my PC had become very slow with constant hang-ups and getting progressively worse. It was to be expected that the speed of the PC would be like night and day with the new drive. However, I remember what my laptop was like when it was brand new and the speed difference with this SS drive is still dramatically faster. I would definitely recommend this drive.

Excellent product. Easy to install. No need to format. I had no trouble loading Windows software on it. Overall, extremely pleased with its performance so far during the past 2 months or so of using it. Best of all, it saved me my laptop which has had no other issues and is in excellent condition otherwise.

these work great, the samsung magician software that you download to clone your existing drive works well. You don't have to be an IT person to convert your hd to this ssd..on a scale of 1 to 5..you only need a level 2 of knowledge. I've installed more than 6 of these now on various computers and super happty.

The Geek Squad suggested these drives after I mentioned my old machines were very slow. They replaced the old 1T hard drives in my laptop and my desktop (both are 2014 HP Envy i7 12mb RAM 1T hard drives) with these 512 Samsung SSD drives. It was the best $50 investment (per drive). Both machines are so much faster and even after backing up the data from these machines, about half of the 512 SSD drives capacity is still unused & available. Geek Squad service agreements are well worth the money too! $200 per year plan saved me $600 in labor so far! Impressed!

One of my favorite SSD. Originally got one years ago and used it in my laptop and it comes with nice cloning software.

My HP laptop is 9 years old and compared to my desktop PC takes forever to start up and to open / close programs. About 15 months ago I upgraded the HDD in my PC with a Samsung EVO 860 and the PC became a rocket so I recently decided to replace the old slow HDD in my laptop with an EVO 870. What a difference. Used to take about 2 minutes for windows and all startup programs to boot. Now it takes about 2 seconds for the windows logo to display and about 23 seconds for all to boot up. I had reward points that paid for half the cost so the transaction was well worth the money.

Got it for a bit off for a friends computer i was building, it was his only request and he has absolutely no complaints. I trust samsung for my ssd's almost exclusively and would recommend this drive to new builders.

Not my first time purchasing this brand and will not be the last. This brand has been consistent and reliable for a really long time and this hard drive was just as good. Was just as good

Love this drive, cant saying bad about it. Great speed, easy to install and operate, great value, Would absolutely recommend it to a friend.
