    Hesitated to migrate to a SSD but eventually bit the bullet and the performance of this Samsung drive has been phenomenal. PC now boots up in seconds, is super stable and lightning quick.

    This is my OS and programs drive and man is it fast. Boot up time is very nice using NVME drives. The read and write speeds are solid with these Samsung m.2 SSD's. You won't regret it.

    First M.2 and I gotta tell you, I'm impressed. Use this as my new boot drive and even at 50% capacity used it completely wipes any use of SSD for a boot drive. Super fast and clean boot times now.

    I purchased this SSD from Best Buy. The purchase experience was exceptional, as they price matched with no hassle. The Samsung came with the software needed to set up the drivers and to transfer the data from my current hard drive. Also were instructions on going into the BIOS to change boot order. The only thing that was an issue was the screw that was needed to hold down the SSD. It is needed to not only secure it, but to complete the circuit. My mother board did not supply one, so I removed a similar one from my WIFI card and went to a local hardware store where they were able to match the screw and washer. After that, everything went smoothly.

    This is easy to install and is faster than a SSD. I use this for my boot drive: Windows and system software only still leaves enough room for some games. Very fast on Bootup.

    A fast drive and worth considering. But it idles at 41C and quickly runs up from there. I got a Hynix S31 at 1 TB on sale for just $25 more than this 500 GB. It idles at 33C and rarely goes past 41C. And it's also just a bit faster than this Samsung. Serious competition! I decided to keep the Hynix!

    Great memory at a great price. For the price you’re not going to find a faster ssd. If you pride yourself on having fast, newest tech products this is the one for you. 500GB is more than most will need

    This is faster than the last generation model. It wasn't over expensive for a 500 gb. Makes for a great os hard drive. M.2 is the way to go for gaming now a days. Other hard drives can't keep up.
