Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great price. Great Drive. Best Buy makes me type 50 characters though when 4 words do the job.

Bought this to upgrade the PNY 240GB on my Dell Optiplex 3020M. Installation was a breeze. Everything works fast and great. Highly recommend.

From long time ago, I trusted in Samsung quality for SSDs. I work as IT for a Computer Company, and the companies we work for, we highly recommend this kind of disks. Yes, all we know they are pricey compared with other brands but they are something to rely on. The one with grey Square is the Normal and the one with Red Square is the Pro Series...

Samsung makes great products and you can also install their SSD tool which is helpful. I have bought other brands in last few years but they all end up dead or corrupt.

Our computer is running slow so we got a new hard drive and it works really well. It was able to scan everything over from our previous drive without any issues or buying additional software

Haven't had to use itva lot yet but glad i am able to finally use my olf faithfl laptop!

this ssd performs as expected , very fast R/W speeds, one of the better ssd's i have used

Be careful. Got a green WD 240gb used in a factory sealed box. I should have checked the packaging better. I used a box knife to open it. I should have check the taped seal a little better. Lol. I shall be going to the store for swap out. Best Buy has excellent CS. Nobody's fault except the theif.

Great TV. Didn’t take any effort to connect to direct TV, Netflix’s or otherwise. Wonderful picture

bought 17 of these in 1st half of 2021 and lots of them going bad already. used 10 of them at a local business and 7 of them have bad lba's and have lost data. tracking down the rest of them.

I have installed two of these drives over the past couple months as I’ve been rebuilding computers for my family members. This is the second 870 that I have installed and it is way better than the previous generation 860. It is looking like these drives originally came out in January 2020 and putting them up against the 860EVO there is a marked difference in performance stability right speed and boot ups. I would recommend this drive to anyone looking to bring new life into an older machine.

Bought it to replace an ssd that was already terrible, and died. This has been fast, reliable, and overall lifesaving because I use my pc for a lot. Would 100% buy again.

Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SSD. Totally reliable, very fast. And Best Buy's price was competitive with all other suppliers. Plus, they have it in stock everyday. So I got it instantly, rather than the usual 2 day shipping. Can't go wrong with these drives - I have at least ten of them.

nice, inexpensive option to add speed to your PC with an old rotational HDD. Easy to install, and the samsung tools make it super easy to transfer your OS and files from your old drive to the new one. Would recommend to those with lesser/lacking technological knowledge for that reason. These drives are fast given that they're SATA, and I've had zero issues over 3 years with my original 870 evo up until a few hiccups leading to a total failure in early November. Luckily I had preemptively created a drive image and had it ready to go when the last failed. I have no hesitations with using another new 870 EVO to replace the one prior that has failed, as I'm quite sure the failure was caused by recent power droops/spikes in the local power grid with our cold weather, as the drive had tested with 0 failed sectors the week prior to failure. If your motherboard doesnt support m.2 or PCIE ssd options, I'd recommend this to anyone looking to wake up an older PC with a new drive, or replace a recently failed SDD. With that said, I fully expected my 1tb WD Blue Sata SSD that was purchased at the same time to fail first as it's my game drive and is always virtually completely full, and gets used often, but it's still running strong after the EVO failed. If you possess the knowledge to do a complete drive transfer on your own, are willing to pay for file transfer services from a technician, or prefer to do a fresh OS install, I may be tempted to suggest a WD SSD over at least this model of Samsung SSD for that reason.

Really great price for a 500gb ssd. Used to replace hard drive on old laptop. Easy to install. Laptop runs great with this ssd. Faster speed and no issues. Highly recommended this product.

Speeds are as advertised. Ive purchased at least 100 Samsung SSDs for my desktops and server caches, and for clients that needed their hard drives replaced. Despite often being more expensive, i have never had a Samsung SSD arrive DOA. WD Blue…. its been a 50/50 chance. You get what you pay for, and this is the perfect SSD if your 2.5” hard drive is causing your desktop to throttle to unusable speeds. Great simple 2.5” SATA drive.

The Samsung SSD offers excellent performance. I purchased other brands from other companies. The Samsung SSD booted up the fastest - albeit by only a slight margin. I tested my laptop with three different SSDs - each with DRAM. The SK Hynix SSD and Crucial SSD both took 18 seconds for the laptop to boot up. The Samsung SSD took 17 seconds for the laptop to boot up. In the most technical sense the Samsung SSD offered the best performance. However, the Samsung SSD was the most expensive. At the time, I didn't mind because this was only a $5 difference for the 500GB versions of the SSD products. However, Samsung has significantly increased the prices of their SSDs since then - especially for the 1TB and 2TB versions. Other manufacturers did not raise prices in such a way. As a result, I would personally suggest buying the other brands. There is virtually no difference in performance.

Samsung makes some of the best consumer level SSDs you can buy. This one is great. It's great to add additional storage to a computer or to upgrade from a spinning disk drive. Especially good value if you can catch it on sale.

I've been a user of WD SSD's for a while and lately they've been having lots of premature failures. I decided to switch to a different brand and have always had great success with Samsung and these are no exception. Fast, reliable and inexpensive. I can't ask for more.

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.
