    Installed in my desktop in a Asus ROG Strix Z-370E Gaming motherboard. Read benchmarks @ 3557 MB/s. Write @ 3282 MB/s according to CrystalDiskMark 6.0. It is less than 10 seconds from power off to ready OS. I could only be happier if I had the money to buy a bigger one.

    If you know anything about SSDs, then you know already that this is a great drive. Seriously wonderful. I was able to catch this on sale and save a few bucks. Even if it wasn't on sale it would still be worth it. Super fast, and lightweight.

    I have used 2 of these M.2 drives, in RAID 0, for a couple months now and have had no issues and get amazing read/write speeds. 6495MB/s average sequential read and 4951MB/s sequential writes in the Crystal Disk Mark. Great performance and quality so far.

    The Samsung EVO line is well known, and even my customers ask for it. If the hardware supports it, I recommend this format of SSD upgrade. I've never had an EVO fail on me.

    This thing is full of power I placed this in my HP laptop and it moves so fast and I was amazed at the test results. For the first time the advertising was not lying and to make sure I ran the R/W test on multiple programs. It’s worth it specially if your a gamer

    Did a clean w10 install along with the ssd upgrade on my Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-73AP. Very very fast and runs at high PCIE gen 3 speeds for rear/write. Much faster than the oem Kingston ssd nvme it replaced.

    Really fast hard drive even faster with pci gen4. It does run hot so I would suggest good airflow through case and that nvme isn't directly below gpu

    I put this in a machine i built with an i5-9400 and a MSI MPG z390 motherboard. the whole system is pretty fast for what I built it to do. I use this as a cache drive between 10gbe network connections and this allowed me to transfer large files very fast over that network.

    Did not get this initially when new because Dell wanted too much for it. Now, at a reasonable price for the upgrade, and it has reduced the boot time significantly. Cloning of files was easy. Great upgrade

    This was a perfect upgrade. I needed this type of drive for my computer because the laptop only came with a 128GB drive. This upgrade went smoothly and it ultra fast and responsive. Samsung has a good reputation for these drives, too.

    I purchased 2 of these in store for a OS only and FXS drive in raid 0. takes like 9-12 seconds for windows to load however just to clarify there was no improvement in speed in raid 0 over single disk. My benchmarks were consistent with manufacturers listed speeds.

    This is just what I needed for a used gamer laptop I had brought. I got this drive replacing the 1tb sata & upgraded ram to 32gb omg the speed of this machine is amazing now. I'm not into gaming as much I mainly use it as a workstation for editing my pictures & family movies.

    This is one of those products that just works, and works well right off the bat. There's no software to install, no real setup issues other than making certain your motherboard has a slot for this type of SSD. Highly recommended,

    This hard drive has my computer booting up in no time, no longer can I go grab a drink from the kitchen and get back in time to watch windows load. The only thing I would do differently is buy the larger size as games boot faster when on this drive too.

    I have had several Samsung SATA III SSDs in the past, and this blows them out of the water. It is a great SSD. I have tried other brands to try to save some money, but they just do not compare. Pay the extra for the Samsung, you will not be sorry.

    This is a grate drive to store my 4K videos as I’m editing them I still store my game library on a HDd do to file size. I would recommend getting the one tb though. If your pressed for cash I’d recommend just getting a hard disk drive.
