Samsung - 850 EVO 1TB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive

At first I wasn't real impressed with this hard drive after I installed the software that came with it and enable the rapid mode. Its made a Huge Difference in speed. Read and write speeds are lighting fast.

I have an 8yr old laptop, after a huge software upgrade the laptop slow down big-time ,( ex. It will take 2minutes to move through programs or pull up pictures) after looking into different products I chose Samsung Evo 1Tb. After I upgraded from the hhd to ssd. I see a huge difference the speed & improvement Like a new laptop again. Definitely recommend.

bought this needing an extensive amount of space, speed, and slim size. installed into my desktop. currently have it allocated for just games (305GB of 931GB). works quite well. have had this for just over a month and no issues, despite what i have read online. 4 out of 5 stars, because i found i could have bought this online cheaper than BB. :P battle.net games and steam games run well off of this and win 8.1.

Love my Samsung - 850 EVO 1TB Internal SATA III Solid State Drive and to Restart PC takes only 9 seconds so fast !

Very pain free and easy purchase and. Thanks Rich inside that he’s smoking us out every morning.

This is my first rating of anything I've ever purchased. I just wanted to let everyone know what a difference this drive has made to the operation of my laptop. The laptop is about 5 years old. It was really starting to slow down booting up, using Microsoft Office software, etc. I tried cleaning up the drive, took lots of files and programs off the computer but to no avail. I started looking into buying a new computer, but decided to try this drive based on its reviews. It was extremely easy to install and the migration of everything from the old drive to this drive was seamless. Booting up from the off position now takes less than 30 seconds (I have Windows 10 installed.). It's almost instantaneous from the sleep mode. All the programs work like a dream now, and I've been able to put some back on that I took off. I'm not interested at all at buying a new computer now. I highly recommend that you look into buying this drive if you've been experiencing a slow computer, you won't be sorry.

I installed this in my mid-2010 iMac 21.5" doubling the storage capacity in the computer (I was running out) and dramatically improving the speed! This is a real world usage bump in speed (opening applications, copying files, booting up, switching users, photo editing, etc.) where disk IO is the bottleneck. This won't speed up the processor and video card, for instance, so games won't run much faster for instance (levels may load faster though) as those are more dependent on processing power. The 2010 iMac 21.5 only has SATA II so I knew the speed would top out at 300MB/s while the drive itself is capable of almost double that. That is still 10 times faster than the drive I had before (a 7200 RPM hard drive that was getting a little over 30MB/s). I am definitely getting 300MB/s read/write speed so this is working awesome so far! The difference is pretty stunning as this is the biggest upgrade I think you can do on a fairly old computer (already had 8GB of RAM and you can't upgrade the processor due to the proprietary motherboard of the iMac). Honestly, my 5 (!) year old laptop is much faster (I mean noticeably) in real world usage now than a brand new maxed out Dell laptop I use at work with a conventional hard disk drive. SSD is worth every penny in my opinion!

Purchased two to replace a pair of 600GB spinning platter hard drives I had in RAID 1 configuration when one of them failed. No hassles with setup and file migration (with the right software to do it.) Working great for a week now: totally silent and super fast. I hardly know other programs are running becuase of the silence and responsiveness of these. The 850 PRO series might be a touch faster, but comes with such a higher price tag that the EVO series is the best deal. Previous experience with a RAIDed pair of 250GB 850 EVO drives in another computer proved these 1TB models would pass muster in my personal workstation. I don't often buy my computer hardware from Best Buy, but BB had beaten Newegg's price by $33 each. Combined with taxes and rewards points, I'll realize about $85 in savings over competitor. That's huge!
