    Not my first M.2 SSD so the speed is normal for me but what took me by surprise is that the speed is maintained throughout the entire day & doesn't slow down after a few hours like the older EVO drives

    Great Little SSD for My Virtual Memory Needs

    Very happy with this SSD. I upgraded to a Z790 Intel motherboard and my old SSD did not work. This new one plugged right in and performs very well. Couldn't be happier. i Use it mostly as a cache for my RAM (Virtual Memory use in an existing WIndows 11 application where I didn't want to do a cold install).

    This is a great NVMe Solid State Drive. It's blazing fast and runs cooler than any other I've ever used. The Samsung Magician software is a perfect match for updating and viewing drive information.

    It was a hassle to get it cloned, but after all that, it works fantastically. My PC boots up in seconds I would recommend just installing an OS on it first rather than cloning

    I'm sitting on 4tb on a standard HDD, and 2tb on SSD. I thought that was fast, but with the new NVMe SSD, data transfer is easily noticable! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting even faster boot/load times!

    My Dell Desktop had a disk drive with a corrupted boot sector. I wanted quicker performance anyway, so had Geek Squad replace it with this SSD. I am very pleased with the performance.

    I purchased two of these drives and have never had an issue with either of them. Not blazing fast, but more than adequate.

    samsung is a staple company. Either get the 970 plus or stick with a 860 ssd. Otherwise the difference isn't noticeable. Will not play nice with win 7. Use linux or win 10.

    Great SSD, much faster than anything you have in your system in 2020 with the exception of a 980. Use Samsungs free software to initialize and it will save you a headache.

    Great drive at a decent price. There are others with similar features and warranties. But they aren’t as well known. Make sure you know what your buying and if it’ll work in your system.
