Time will tell, however from past purchases the Samsung's have proven very reliable. This drive comes with system copy software as well as health analysis software.

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.

Replacing a hard drive, use an SSD. Increases your system performance by at least 3 times. The PRO model has a 10 year warranty, nothing else like that. If they are offering that type of warranty, you know they used the good stuff to build it.

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.

Installed it in a mid-2012 MBP unibody A1278 with macOS sierra update, 16GB RAM, after the factory HDD crashed. Reinstalled Yosemite on the SSD. EtreCheck went from "very poor" to "excellent". MBP boots up very fast.

If one cannot afford nor wants to play in the new & growing world of NVMe SSD's, this is top of the line. Only one or two other brands offers a 10 year warranty on the same drive, or 150 TBW written.

Nice Retail packaging, no way this SSD is going to move around in the tightly packed box; Fast as one is going to get in the SATA-3 SSD line 10 year warranty, double that of the 840 Pro; Going strong for a year, having been in three different PC's

That is's not a NVMe SSD.;-

I installed this drive in my new HP 15Z Laptop about 3 hours ago and have been using it ,testing it ,and this drive vs the 1tb spin drive installed in it from the factory is like daylight and dark difference both performance wise and battery usage wise. I highly recommend it to all.

fast; low power usage

samsung pro is the way to go. excellent performance and totally reliable. the evo is also good if the pro is out of your price range

Easy to install, and the results are immediate. My laptop is lightning fast now, and the only downside is that I can't go to the restroom on loading times anymore. Definitely a must-buy!

Coming from the old hard disk, I'm very impressed with the performance of this Samsung 850 Pro SSD. If there is no Windows update, I think my computer is shutting down in 3 seconds. I replaced my WD Black Edition with this SSD and very impressed with the performance. Absolutely recommended.
