Excellent Sata 3 2.5 SSD

This is a good choice for upgrading any middle-aged laptop which only has sata 3 ports from an older HDD as the boot device rather than buying an new laptop and contributing to E-waste. If you wish to clone rather than a clean install, these Samsung SSDs are best since Samsung comes with its own cloning tool software. I do not recommend third party cloning software, personally.

Breathed new life into an old laptop

I purchased this to upgrade an old laptop I bought in 2014.
It had an old creaky mechanical hard drive that was really showing its age. Very slow.
I can't say the process of ripping the old laptop apart to install this thing was easy, but I did manage to do it successfully. This drive was a little bit thinner than the existing HDD, so I had to fold up some cardboard to make a spacer for it to fit correctly in the housing. There are more legit ways to do this of course, but I managed to ghetto rig it.
Now the old laptop is like brand new. Seriously it feels like a brand new machine. This drive is performing exactly as expected in benchmarks and really breathed new life into my laptop.

Bought a pc in January and the 250 gb ssd went out within 3 1/2 months. Bought this ssd on sale and was an awesome value. Took me a few hours to get everything up and running as this was my first time ever installing an ssd. Once it was up and running, my computer boots up in 30 seconds. It is so fast and works wonderfully. Thank goodness for tutorials on you tube and my tech friends. This is absolutely an awesome drive. I will always use Samsung dad’s from now on.

Old sdd went bad, so had to get a replacement. Laptop was purchased in 2020, went bad in 5 years time. This samsung was a good choice to replace that. Fast read and write, feels sturdy. Will have to see how long this one lasts

I needed a replacement SSD for the one that failed in my friend's laptop. I was shocked to find this excellent product on sale for the same price as smaller capacity, lesser-brand drives and scooped it up. Easy to install, to reinstall Windows, faster performance and all around great value.

This Solid State Drive is top notch. It allows for faster start up and shut down. It was easy to instal i to the hard drive caddy and is extremely lightweight. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to replace an older hard drive that could give out at any time. Samsung has never let me down!

Expanded my storage on my PC with this to accommodate files from work and a growing collection of 3D printing files. Keeps everything in it's own drive, separate from games and programs files. Quick loads for the 3D files from this SSD. Samsung makes some great hard drives.

Really cant beat a $34.99 512GB SSD from Samsung. When it comes to storage I will only use Samsung or Western Digital. I put this SSD in an 8 year old laptop for a friend to be able to do some light schoolwork online and she says it runs quicker than new. Great buy!

My fifth Samsung EVO SSD

The fifth Samsung Internal SSD I've purchases over the years, highly reliable. Please note that if you're cloning a drive, the latest migration software only supports Win 10 and 11. I was upgrading a Win7 machine and had to use an earlier version of the migration software, not hard to find, worked perfectly.
