    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!

    Bought this for an older laptop and it made such a huge difference in how fast and smooth it works.

    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.

    A good SSD for those wanting portable solutions

    Unlike the conventional use of this SSD as a boot drive, I decided to convert its function to a portable SSD storage solution, which it has perfromed exceptionally well despite a much more thermally taxing environment in a metal enclosure. Reads and writes are bery consistent, and the drive didn’t show signs of thermal throttling when performing big data transfers.

    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.

    Perfect for what I needed. Found the price slightly cheaper online and BestBuy was happy to price match. It’s been reliably running in my machine for over a year now.

    Bought this SSD on sale for $75, which is a great deal for a Samsung. I have used Samsung SSD's for years and have never had a failure yet. Easy installation too, runs pretty cool.

    These drives are my go to when I need to repurpose a computer for a client. And I do not think I have ever had one fail. And Best Buy always seems to have good prices on these too!

    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.

    If you do heavy programming, NVME SSD are the best. I havent had any issue since I installed it to my computer. So far so good

    Installed to refresh a "tired" HP workstation. Now it performs better than new. Migration of data was a breeze with the migration software downloadable from manufacturer website.

    I bought this product to upgrade my son's Dell gaming laptop from 256gb to 500gb. This SSD has exceeded my expectations from the get go. I was originally just looking for more space but the speed and responsiveness of the laptop increased dramatically. Unfortunately, 500gb is too small for a gamer and now need to look for a 1TB SSD to replace the 500gb SSD as the space is now stretched to its limit and we cannot update the laptop sufficiently.

    Just when I thought a SATA III SSD was fast these NVMe SSD's are even faster. I wouldn't go back to standard SATA SSD. I no longer even see the windows logo at bootup!! Just straight to desktop!!
