    Replaced stock 250GB SSD with this one in Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop and it works noticeably faster and seems more quiet (I hear cooling cranking up much less).

    Awesome! Just plain Awesome. Bought this for my Alienware 17 r5. Imediately recognized. Had to adjust to AHCI in BIOS for Samsung Magician to recognize it. Just buy one, or more. Well worth it!

    One of the best NVME SSDs on the market, IMO. I've installed this in my quicksync Plex server and it works perfectly. Much faster than a spinning disk would be.

    This thing took my boot times from 12 seconds to 5. Added a couple of notoriously slow-loading games (GTA 5, Skyrim, Fallout 4) on there and the load screens are less than 4sec average now.

    I originally bought the 250GB HD and quickly realized I needed more space so I bought the 500GB drive. My laptop boots into Win 10 Pro in under 10 seconds from when the machine was off.

    This NVME Drive has been outstanding. I purchased over 50 of these units to replace stock drives for my company’s Lenovo laptops. No issues so far and performance has been fast.

    Definitely a great upgrade in a computer when compared to HDD. My only concern is the space. As 500GB isn't much since I brought this for my gaming computer
