I upgraded from a sandisk solid state drive plus to this and wow what a difference. This thing is about 5 times as fast as the sandisk plus was and it is so small. Love it, and it's well worth the price.

Works - not sure why haven't really care enough to look into it yet because it may be my motherboard, but i have 2 of these and one of them is 500gb. The 500GB one writes the same, but reads faster / and it's randoms are faster. Yes i did notice a difference in speed compared to the 2.5inch SSD's. Samsung is always my prefer SSD's Make sure you own or buy a little magnet screwdriver lol would have made my life easier.... I will update 6m-1y if not sooner if anything goes wrong or to let you readers if it's still going strong!

I was looking for an SSD for my build and a streamer I follow bought the 500 Gb version, so I bought the step down from that one and it still works the same. This is a great buy and great place to store Windows on besides your internal hard drive.

If you have a newer motherboard with m.2 connector, you need to get one of these is like 3 times the speed of sad drives, make sure to use it as your operating system drive, and other programs that you use often.

There's not much to say about this product other than that Samsung, in my opinion, is the leading contender for nvme and ssd in general purely for reliability and overall performance. There are periodically better speeds with other products but realizing this speed in actual usage is very unlikely to be perceptible unless you are transferring a large volume of data. Overall I've been using Samsung ssd's the past few years and I don't regret it one bit. Friends often inquire what brand to use and I always recommend Samsung. Especially for a main/OS drive. Be sure to still do your homework on benchtests and overall reviews. If you're simply looking for a somewhat faster storage option for less money you may be better off with a different brand.

Upgrading from an older SATA drive, this NVMe drive is light years quicker than my old drive. Boot-up has been nearly cut in half and launches programs quickly if installed on this drive.

Bought this for my gaming laptop and it works great. Definitely noticed the bump up in performance after making this the drive my laptop boots from.

No performance problems. Reads and writes at a great speed as long as your motherboard supports it. I use it for my boot drive and my PC boots at approximately less than 30 seconds.

Blazing fast NVMe drive in the M.2 form factor. The only gripe I had was the screws needed to install were not included. Kits are available online for $6 that includes all screwdrivers. Installs at about 30 degree angle then the screw pushes it into place. Computer did not recognize immediately you have to configure settings to show that a new drive has been installed and you would like to use it. Once set up all cache files and scratch disks were thrown on this drive and boy oh boy did photoshop have a heyday. Games running smooth as butter (not all about GPU folks). Even micro level tasks opening and closing file explorer and general UI became faster by a good margin.

Faster boot up, faster loading menu's/files/applications, adding an SSD makes your computer operate smoother and this Samsung one is just about the best one on market

Installed in my custom PC build running Windows 10. Using Samsung's Magician software, the sequential read/write speeds are fast and spot on to what is advertised. System is quick to boot and programs load lickity split. Pretty cool but I don't really feel much of a difference coming from the SATA cabled solid state drive I was using before. $60 at the time was a good deal and meant no pesky cables to worry about routing.

Bought and installed on a MSI B450 tomahawk as the boot drive. easy to install and load windows 10 on. system boots with all drivers and security software loaded in under 20 sec.

Easy to install and simple to set up. A good SSD for windows for faster booting or for a select game or two to run at peak performance.

Love this..... so much nicer than having a larger hard drive in my PC case, I've had no issues and it stays fairly cool.

Excellent boot drive with a little extra room for media if you don't have additional storage. Windows is up and running in seconds, can't go wrong with this.

I bought this drive to hold my windows installation and a few games. It’s considerably faster than a sata ssd and very easy to install.

Samsung does it again! Super addition to any Desktop PC...Use it for Windows set up...Great and fast...! Very small and powerful...

I've gotten two of these and they are just amazing. Super fast. I was able to boot into windows and into a game in 20 seconds.

Recently bought this NVME drive while on sale during Black Friday as an extra drive to install windows on and it serves its purpose flawlessly. The 250 GB is great to use as a boot drive. Games these days are getting bigger so I wouldn’t recommend it as a dedicated game drive as you will run out of storage very soon (for instance COD Cold War is about 100+ GB). If it goes on sale again I would highly recommend it as a boot drive and free up space elsewhere on your setup.

Purchased this for my Synology NAS to use as a cache for regularly used files. Works great, fast data access and write speeds.
