Good value but you need a clone program and a USB to SATA connector. Both are available on ebay. A very easy operation depending on your notebook. ASUS is fine. You will not get really high speeds with USB2 but the whole system is much faster.

The disk itself is a solid product. I got it as a replacement for a failing laptop hard drive. However the experience with the upgrade kit was less so. The failing hard drive had a bad sector.

Replaced existing 500G platter drive in 4-year-old laptop. The old drive was starting to exhibit signs of potential problems, so I took the SSD plunge. Cloning existing drive was dead-simple. Install the app, and follow directions.

Nothing wrong with the drive, and frankly for the quality and size/money POV, Samsung has the consumer SSD market sewn up with very few exceptions.

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

Price; Ouch! But love it

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.

Last week Samsung announced the new 840 Evo SSD series to replace the existing 840 series. The write speeds should be significantly higher, but the affordable price remains the same. We tested the entire series consisting of 120 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB models.

There is no doubt that when Samsung look to take over a market they can get things really right and there is no better example than how well their Galaxy range of smartphones is doing in an ever more crowded mobile market.

And here we were, staring multiple SandForce drives in the face, thinking solid-state innovation had ground to a halt. How wrong we were. Boffins at some of the biggest names in the industry have proven that there's plenty of room for improvement, with Intel introducing a new level of consistency...

I'm continually amazed by Samsung's rise to power in the SSD space. If you compare their market dominating products today to what we were reviewing from Samsung just a few years ago you'd assume they came from a different company.
