    Solid storage solution. Met my needs and was easy to use. Is it worth the premium over cheaper alternatives? No, in my opinion. Unless you are transferring files within your system frequently, there is minimal gain for the money. Games and programs did not load nor perform justifiable better.

    But overpriced considering the current market, however, Samsung and Best Buy staff by the products they sell. So, although others may be less expensive, this is the better choice.

    I actually haven't installed this yet. It requires a special connector to clone your current drive. Why 5 stars? It looks pretty. That's all I can say about it so far.
