    Put this 990 Evo in a budget HP laptop that originally had an HDD in it. Boot speed is so much faster! Turning laptop on before took about 5 minutes plus to get up and running, after installing this it is up and running in less than 30 seconds. Definitely worth the money

    My computer is now working a lot faster now since installing the new Samsung SSD instead of the hard disk. It boots quicker and opens files much faster.

    The Samsung SSD is a reliable product. I wish it wasn't so difficult buying it from BestBuy. First I searched the caged area and did not find it, Then I asked a sales person who said if it's not in the cage we don't have it. Then I went to my car and ordered it online for 1 hour delivery at the same store. Then went back in and spoke with a manager. It should not be this hard to buy a product from BestBuy

    Most bang for the buck SSD (at least in the 1TB category), not to mention the brand with the best reputation for flash products. This is DRAM-less, but as long as your PC has enough RAM, the HMB tech it uses keeps it plenty fast.

    Research the software prior to buying.

    In 2026, SSD prices are insane due to AI tech blowing up. The 990 EVO Plus is a good deal, especially for older machines. My HP motherboard only supports Gen3, but you're able to use Gen4 like this item just fine, but know it only runs on Gen3 speeds so the advertised read/write speeds aren't reality. A caveat - One of the factors I considered when buying was the cloning software. Samsung Magician is available and has great reviews, but I wasn't aware of its limitations. Magician will not recognize your Samsung drive as Samsung, if you're cloning using a USB enclosure. The drive has to be in the NVME slot in order for it to be recognized. That led to looking for a different software for a simple clone. After I was finished, Magician works just fine with the new drive. Just something to know when purchasing this drive to clone from a smaller one!
