    Boot time is less than 10 seconds with this it is fast. However the price is alittle high for a 500GB nvme I found other 1tb ones for the same price. I guess you pay for the Samsung brand name because these are reliable.

    Good SSD for the money.....and essential for computing in 2020 or the 21st century. Typically, Samsung is a brand that I stay away from (especially from their clothes washer/dryer), but they make a decent SSD.

    My first NVMe solid state drive. It took the industry long enough to finally improve the form factor of HDD. Installs similarly to RAM, and no need for extra PSU connections.

    Purchased to be the primary memory for my first computer build. Paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU & an ASUS Tuf Gaming X570-Plus motherboard. So far it is running awesome. Would certainly recommend.

    These M.2 drives are excellent especially for the price. I have 3 and all perform as expected with great read and write speeds. In my setup they do not run hot or throttle. recommend.

    Super fast, load times are crazy quick. Both running programs and booting up are faster than I would have expected. Going from an SSD on SATA to this was like going from a cheap 4 cylinder Honda, to a Ferarri!

    Just put it in a couple of days ago. Easy to install. Also is way faster than the mechanical drive it replaced. Hope it lasts a long time. Glad it was in stock at my local BB, picked up same day as ordered.

    Seriously, the only gripe I have about this thing is that I load into games so fast, I have to wait on HDD and SSD plebians to catch up. Buy one and put your OS on it, you won't be disappointed.

    This SSD went into a Synology NAS drive as the cache disk. so far no issues at all performance is great. You cannot go wrong with Samsung or Best Buy. Now waiting for the 4gb versions...at a reasonable price.
