    Purchased this for my son's computer. Installation was a breeze and the system picked it up right-a-way. It has run flawlessly since install. Great speed. Fit right into the PCI slot on the motherboard. No issues.

    This Samsung ssd is fast and very easy to install into your M.2 slot. This is more meant for builds in the $1000 price range or above because you would want to invest in other pieces such as a better gpu and cpu but this ssd is a nice luxury.

    Very very fast. Samsung has the most reliable and fast Solid state memory storage. Can’t go wrong with this m.2 storage from Samsung. 7 months and still rock solid speeds.

    I recently just built my son a computer for Christmas and added this in as the SSD. It provided a good balance of performance without having to spend much since this was a budget build.

    Love this SSD. It is definitely worth the extra cost and performs well for the price. I would definitely recommend this. I’ve also purchased the 1 TB SSD of this brand and can confirm it is also excellent.

    This gumstick sized drive has been killer since i installed it, I'm at the Windows login screen almost before my finger leaves the power button. I would recommend some kind of heatsink though because it gets a little toasty.

    I mean really, you should already know that Samsung EVO's are the best SSD's on the market. Insanely fast, very easy to install (FYI, it does not come with a screw, so hopefully you didn't lose yours like I did.) Highly recommended!

    Ordered a lenovo thinkpad with a HDD, knowing it would be much less to upgrade the HD myself. Threw this M.2 SSD into the laptop and clearly noticed an increase in speed and performance. I only purchase Samsung SSD's -- M.2 or Sata It's the best...

    If you haven't made the switch to ssd, you're missing out! The speed is phenomenal, I don't see myself going back. For the price this product is an absolute game changer. I even went as far as upgrading the whole families setups!

    Great M.2 and Samsung is leading the way here.. so fast and great value. My operating system even on normal boot has never booted faster. This is where you want to install your system and start up features.

    I have had this drive for some time now and had a chance to run it through its paces. It’s a very stable drive and fast drive. I have not had a single issue that I can complain about. I run this drive for mostly gaming. Loading times are almost instant compared to my prior slower mechanical drive! I would recommend this drive without hesitation!

    Needed to rebuild a PC and decided to replace the C drive at the same time.... Noticed the MB has a M2 slot so installed an M2 SSD. Faster and more compact, less one cable.

    My first experience using an NVMe drive and I must say it significantly improves the speed and ease of file transfers & data maintenance. Looking forward to buying a 2TB drive as soon as I have the money saved!
