      I’m sorry to hear that you’re not fully satisfied with the performance of your 870 EVO SSD.

      If you haven't done so already, you may want to use Samsung Magician to run Performance Optimization, ensure that your motherboard supports SATA III interface, check that all performance related settings are set correctly (cached enabled, AHCI enabled), and be sure you have the latest version of the driver.

      Please contact Samsung Memory Support directly so that we can better investigate your speed issue and assist you towards a solution.

      1) Call: 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory or press #, then 6 for Memory products)
      Available 9AM – 9PM EST (Mon-Fri)
      2) Email: samsungmemorysupport@sea.samsung.com

    SSD SATA outperformed by Passport

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I found when I A/B tested this with my Passport the passport provided the better sound in my streamer. I was very surprised by this. Tried other arrangements, then ultimately returned the SSD SATA since the Passport sounded better. It did take more space, but it was something I could live with.

    Disappointing

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this to upgrade a Sony Vaio laptop. The disk migration program did not transfer all of the partitions, resulting in a "No Operating System found" error message. After multiple attempts I gave up. This is a more expensive SSD and I should have saved money by buying a cheaper SSD, but I was hoping this would save me time. Instead I used hours more than expected. Disappointing.

    Bought this to upgrade from a hard disk drive and it makes a huge difference. I've heard good things about reliability, but it actually failed on me causing me to lose all my data. I'm not sure what went wrong with the drive but one day I booted up my laptop and Windows went into recovery mode. I tried to save it but it was too far gone. Had to bring it to the repair shop to get a fresh SSD and fresh install of Windows.
