Samsung - 860 EVO 1TB Internal SATA Solid State Drive

I replaced my 1TB Hard Drive with the Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB Solid State Drive on my Toshiba Satellite S55-B5280 Laptop. The laptop had many miles on it but the Hard Drive was working OK. The SSD cloned perfectly from the old HDD. Now when I boot up Windows 10 The laptop is ready for use in seconds rather than 5 minutes it was taking wit the HDD. I also notice that the cooling fan does not have to come on very much compared to when I had the HDD installed. I think I have just increased the life and productive use of my old laptop.

The drive is great. The software for transferring the data from the old SSD to the new one not so much. I tried to migrate the data 3 or 4 times using the Samsung software. It always failed after completing 99% of the transfer. I gave up after 4 hours of repeated crashes. The final one corrupted the old drive's boot record, so it wouldn't boot. So I guess I was committed to the upgrade? Always have a viable backup before you change a drive... Famous last words to live by. The only way I could get it to work, was from a backup and restore from the old drive and then to manipulate the partition size to utilized the 1TB size.

So far its been a great addon to my old XPS 8700. I have upgraded just about everything I could for the past few years power supply, graphics card,memory. Windows 10 loads so much faster now and I use it for all my programs and havent had any issues because I dont have a lot of demanding programs anyway and using the old hard drive for storage.

This SSD turned my 2011 Early MacBook Pro onto a slapped demon. My laptop functions like new, especially after also doubling my RAM fro 4 to 8 gb.

Bought two of these yesterday and set them up in a Raid 0 for my installed games. No issues at all. With them in Raid 0 they blow my Samsung 950 Pro M2 out of the water. I am attaching a photo of the speed of these drives in the Raid configuration

I make graphic tumblers therefor I have tons of vector art graphics. They take up a lot of memory and this is perfect for what I needed.

Upgrading to SSD (Solid State Drive) will speed up your computer tremendously. Even a 5-year old computer will boot and respond as quickly as the new and expensive laptops.

Bought this to replace my dead 850 Pro 512GB. Just as fast as the 850 Pro. Works great. I use it now to store my steam games in conjunction with a 980 Pro 1TB as my main OS SSD. A little strange trying to register the warranty with Samsung they wouldn't approve my claim. Calling in all you get is re-directed, I ended up giving up.
