Purchased to upgrade a Mac Mini. Issue: Search for "Performance issue Samsung EVO 840" to get a sense of the problem. Many reports of drive slowing down over time on both PC and Mac. At least one firmware update released; another on the way. Firmware update software not Mac native.

Attractive Design; Easy To Set Up; High Capacity

Difficult To Use; Slow

I did a lot of research on SSD's and the Samsung 840's were always rated at or near the best. There were some drives that were cheaper, but I have come to realize over the years that if you buy a good product, you buy it once. Buy it cheap, you buy it twice.

Easy To Install; Fast; Highly Compatible

None really

Bought this 3 years ago. SSD fails six months after the three year warranty. Samsung will not exchange for another. New units have a five year warranty. But buyer beware that you will have failure within months of that warranty and Samsung will not help you.

Bought in February and forgot to review. Been a great upgrade from standard HDD, really fast and so far really reliable. PC is in daily use by myself and my wife and shows no signs of slowing down. Would definately recommend.

I was glad to get this SSD at this capacity and price for an older laptop that needed some help. I very carefully read the information about this particular offer and it clearly included the transfer cable. I specifically looked for this inclusion!

I bought this drive for a windows 7 install on a desktop pc. It easy installed win 7 in under 30 minutes I was expecting to take over 1 hour like my old ata hard drives. Pc runs much faster with it.

I am reviewing this item after a decent time of a constant use and can confirm that it works great, not a glitch. Something I can surely have my trust in and would definitely recommend. Good price and quality. Would recommend.

This is a very good SSD, bought it sometime last year and hasn't failed me. The Operating System boot time is very fast and only takes a few seconds.

It works. I had problems cloning my old drive due to bad sectors. I bought the software Spinrite V6.0 to fix my old drive, and was able clone it afterwards.

The software Samsung included made the transfer of the Windows 8 operating system a piece-of-cake. My machine now boots well under 10 seconds, and applications start up nice and fast. The magician software is worth starting up too as it has a some status and tuning capability.
