Samsung's Migration software is excellent, simple, and fast to clone an existing SSD/HDD to a Samsung SSD. A real pleasure. The Samsung SSD performs as advertised immediately.Puget Systems built up my system five years ago and offer a more detail instruction guide for the use of Sansung's Migration...

Degrading performance had me take the step to upgrade the hard drive. Glad I did, faster loading, quicker responses have enabled me to do more work in less time.

This is about the highest rated SSD on the market. Unfortunately, I don't like buying Samsung products, and my family has had very bad luck with Samsung appliances. We won't EVER buy another Samsung washer, dryer, refrigerator, etc. However, Samsung is a leader in SSD research and development.

Makes any PC come to life and boot up 'instantly'. This is very suitable for top range i7 Laptops (or PCs) and works well with fast Vengeange DDR ram. Like turning your PC into a top end Mac Book Pro. Result is top score on Windows performance ranking.

Samsung's new 850 Pro line of SSDs are easily the fastest on the market at the time of publishing. They offer all the newest features in one single package. Samsung's 3D V-NANA, RAPID Mode, and the huge 150TBW make this drive stand out from the crown.

We've seen many solid state drives over the past few years, some memorable and some forgettable. But it's rather rare to see new technologies emerge that push the boundaries of performance, features, and even pricing.

Last year, Samsung were the first manufacturer to mass produce 24 layer V-NAND for use in enterprise solutions. Never wanting to rest on their laurels, Samsung have today unleashed an enhanced 32 layer 3D V-NAND equipped drive for the enthusiast market.

+ Very fast write speeds; + Great IOPs performance; + 10 year warranty

The Samsung 850 Pro is the first Samsung SSD to use a new type of NAND flash: 3D V-NAND. Although it's a very complicated technology, 3D V-NAND is potentially very important for the future of SSDs.

So far so good with my scheme for updating a very indifferent and slow laptop. 2 mins to install, just goes exactly where your HD went, in my case attaches to small caddy using same screws that HD used.

Got two of these a few weeks ago. I have raided them together on my iMac 27" in a thunderbolt enclosure. (StarTech.com S252SMTB3 - Thunderbolt Hard Drive Enclosure with Thunderbolt Cable). I get read speeds over 880mb/s and write speeds averaging around the 850mb/s mark. Amazing drives.
