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.

Great buy, currently the best value for money for a 1TB SSD. The included software; Samsung Magician is amazing as well, providing OS optimisation, TRIM and RAPID mode among others.

I'm using this as my primary drive on my

Obviously, it's size and space; 1tb that's smaller than the palm of your hand; It'll be a while before a larger size hits the market so this should be top-of-the-line for some time

Judging by its design features, the Samsung 840 EVO is something in between Samsung's 840 Pro and 840 models - a top-performance SSD with inexpensive TLC NAND flash memory. This description is rather superficial, though.

I gladly spent more on a samsung ssd which has much lower failure rate than cheaper alternatives. And nearly as fast/reliable as much more expensive intel ssds.

Fast; Reliable

Great drive for the money. The drive doesn't come with a mounting bracket or enclousre for installing into a desktop, would recommend either Item IM1L39979 or item IM1TY0016. preferring the latter one.

Samsung SSD 840 EVO for Desktop PC Upgrade , says it all. I have a Home built PC. After installing this drive all the stats have come up to the maximum . The installation was a breeze, the enclosed software, Data Migration and Magician work perfectly.

Previous to me installing this Samsung 840 Evo 250GB, I had a Corsair Force 3 128GB which used to boot to the desktop in just under 25 seconds, with this Evo its booting to the desktop in 15 seconds flat. Great SSD great Value.

This is best for your laptop or PC if you are looking for update to make it faster and better. Using it from good long time now, working as expected. And not to mention, got it at most competitive price here.

Easy To Install; Fast; Highly Compatible; Quiet; Reliable
