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.

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.

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.

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.;-

The 850 Pro is Samsung's new flagship consumer SSD, and the follow-up to the wildly popular 840 Pro, which was one of the best performing SSDs money could buy when it launched in September 2012. We're reviewing the 512GB model here which is priced at ￡232 (US$399, around AUD$420).
