I believe Samsung SSD's are the best SSD's made. I have several and had have several for at least 4 years with no failures yet. I use them for C: drives, for database drives, and for source code drives and have no concerns about them at all.
When you can also purchase them at a competitive price, it just doesn't get any better.

I just install this 870 EVO SATA 2.5 Internal SSD, and I can report that my Asus ROG G72GX a 12 year old computer bought here at Best Buy runs like it did when brand new. Shut downs and bootups are completed in 30 seconds, System run extremely fast. Great option.

Uses in an older windows 8 laptop.
The laptop went from being a snail to being a rabbit. Boot time and performance made the customer very happy. Money well spent.

The drive seems to be working really well now, and has gained me speed on my old laptop for sure, but the cloning process was not fun. First of all, the samsung software was not on the drive, I had to download it separately. Then, it only allowed me to clone 3 of my partitions. Then when I physically swapped the drives, the machine would not boot. I had to then re swap the drives, re clone the c drive, using different software, and later, the remaining partitions. It worked fine this time, but the whole process took me like 12 hours.

Woks great drastically improved my loading speeds, it may be a small gb wise but pair it with a external hard drive. You practically have no load times and improved my ps4 pro pretty well.

My wife's computer is a few years old and has a traditional HDD. The computer hardware is still ok, but after I had bought myself a new computer and experienced the performance of a SSD I knew I had to swap her drive out ASAP. She had always said her PC was fine and didn't need the upgrade, but I wouldn't have that. I looked over a few different drives prior to the Samsung, but I mean. I own so many Samsung products and haven't had an issue with any. I looked up reviews online and all looked well. I purchased the drive and cable needed for the data clone transfer. The drive came with its own software for the clone and it worked well. About an hour for the copy and I was able to take the laptop case apart easily enough and make the switch. Boot up went well. Much faster. After the initial boot, I ran some benchmarking and boy was it a huge difference. After she used the computer the following day, even she said it was a massive difference and thanked me for the insight. Good buy for sure.

saved an older laptop that had died. runs like new and boots in a flash. Too bad the lid screen wont work anymore but we just use it connected to a TV and stream and browse. would have liked to get 256g but none in stock
I will likely get a couple more to improve older desktops.

This SSD was installed by your GEEK SQUAD pros in a laptop that was running very slowly and had other connection issues. I was ready to replace it, but it now runs way better than when it was new. Excellent investment and excellent service. Thanks!
