Customer Ratings & Reviews

Good price on quality product. I've used this brand/model before with good performance and no problems. This went into an older Windows 10 laptop that I converted to Linux Mint.

Very reliable hard drive. My go to for small builds.

Best Buy installed it for me so im not sure on how easy it is to do so but it has been working quickly and well. So far its great. I will see how it is doing a year from purchase.

Works really well, extremely well I’m not a computer expert but was able to plug in power and a data cable and it worked right away! I use it to store lots of videos and truly it’s awesome!

Fast, reliable ssd's at a reasonable price. I put one of these in every pc I work on.

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!

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.

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!

This SSD did exactly what I needed it to do. Keeps my computer running perfect. Would definitely recommended this product to anyone looking for a storage solution on their home computer or gaming console.

Great gadget! Just replaced the HDD in my 5 year old laptop with this SSD. Boot time went from 3 1/2 minutes to 8 seconds (your mileage may vary) and everything is perkier overall. Samsung's Data Migration and Magician are easy to use and best of all, free with the purchase. Hardest part of of this upgrade is getting the laptop case open.

Love this new SSD drive. Installation was easy using Samsungs free data migration software. I replaced my C: drive and I didn't have to mess with windows 10 licensing or anything like that. It cloned my old drive. I did pull the cables from the old one once cloned and moved the new ssd to be first in line on the cables in the computer before powering on. It booted up fine and made a night and day difference in speed.

Reliable and easy to transfer data! Upgraded decade old laptop.

Grabbed it on sale for a great price, good ssd for thw money and one of the best known brands for ssd storage. Quick boot times and plenty of space for the average user. Replaced a failing ssd and works as intended.

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.

Give lots of extra space download and transfer speed really quick highly recommend

500GB is a sweet spot for most users: lots of storage for a very reasonable price. The solid state drive guarantees superior performance ... and Samsung ranks among the top manufacturers of speedy SSDs. SSDs can help a new PC zoom even faster, and can help an aging computer zip along nicely once again. Recommended!

What can you say about the EVO line of Samsung SSDs that hasn't already been said? A balance between speed and reliability. I have installed hundreds of these drives, with zero problems and zero failures. Gaming computers, servers and laptops benefit from the EVO's rugged performance. Remember to activate the Rapid Mode function (only available on certain chipsets) for added speed boost.

My older Samsung laptop performs much more reliably and at a faster speed, since getting this product!

Samsung makes the best SSDs out there. The only two companies that can compete are Crucial and SK Hynix. The problem with Samsung is their arrogance has caused their prices to significantly increase. You often see Samsung SSDs cost TWICE as much as competitors. This is simply not acceptable. I used a 500GB SSD from Samsung, Crucial, and SK Hynix in my laptop. Both the Crucial and the SK Hynix took exactly 18 seconds to boot up every time. The Samsung took exactly 17 seconds to boot up every time. So, the Samsung was exactly one second faster every time during a bootup and restart. I bought the Samsung, because at the time there was only a $5 difference in price. But, it isn't like that anymore. The prices are now VERY DIFFERENT. Now, you see Samsung charging between $120 to $160 for a 2TB SSD. In comparison, I saw a Crucial 2TB MX500 SSD on sale for only $80 for Black Friday on Amazon. When I saw that, I said, "Forget Samsung and their '1 second' advantage. I want to save all that money!" One thing people should know is the reviews and specifications often talk about "DRAM" and how the only SATA III SSD manufacturers that make SSDs with DRAM are Samsung, Crucial, and SK Hynix. However, one thing I've learned is I cannot even have the "DRAM" turned on in my older laptop. With that in mind, even a less expensive SSD from a company such as PNY would offer an excellent increase in performance while saving far more money compared to Samsung. Also, according to CrystalDiskInfo, the results of the Samsung compare virtually identical to the others. So, if you are transferring office files or music, you will not notice a different. The only files where you notice a difference in speed are the larger video files. I do strongly encourage people to STAY AWAY from cheap online brands seen online, though. For example, two brands I've had TERRIBLE experience with are "Silicon Power" and "Teamgroup." Even with USB flash drives, both Silicon Power and Teamgroup have been disappointing. For example, if you try to use a Silicon Power USB drive on a Hisense U8K TV set in order to watch mp4 or mkv movies, the Hisense U8K TV won't even recognize the Silicon Power USB drive and it will force you to do a "Hard Reset" of your entire U8K TV set. Hisense NEEDS to fix that with some type of Firmware Update. Similarly, when I transfer mp4 and mkv files from the computer to a Teamgroup SSD, the files will be fine on the Samsung SSD. But when the files are transferred to the Teamgroup USB flash drive, there will be pixelated video that is seen. This type of pixelization problem does not occur when the Samsung SSD transfers files to a USB flash drive from PNY, Sandisk, or Kingston. This was particularly disturbing, because when I reported the defective USB devices to both Silicon Power and Teamgroup, both of them had terrible customer service. I finally said, "Forget it" and just threw out the worthless USB flash drives. Overall, this Samsung SSD offers the highest level of quality on the market - but also has the highest price. I didn't mind paying $5 more for this 500GB SSD compared to the other brands. But, I definitely minded paying $40 more when I upgraded to a 2TB SSD. So, I recently chose NOT to buy a Samsung, because the Samsung prices are just too high now.
