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

Wow. Such Performance. Very fast. Much gaming. Wow

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.

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.

Made my Macbook Pro (late 2011) crazy fast! So easy to install!

So far so good. No issues with this drive at all. My machine has never been faster. Took my complete boot up time from about 6-7 minutes to about 1.5 minutes. Programs start faster and the whole system is more responsive. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

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!

Replaced two spinning platter hard drives with two of these in RAID configuration on my personal primary workstation at home. More expensive than their classic counterparts but more reliable and quieter. Been using for about a month now with no problems. Can't see why anyone would pay up for the 850 PRO series; the EVO series is more than adequate for 99% of users.

I purchased this to speed up a computer build from 7 years ago. Although my MB only supports SATA II, this SSD was compatible and reduced my previous boot times from over 2 minutes to about 30 seconds. Migration was simple. Windows experience went from 6.9 to 7.9 in Windows 7. Works well with host and 3 VM's and numerous apps open simultaneously with room to spare.
