There are three important things you should keep in mind when buying a solid-state drive: capacity, performance, and pricing. And the new Samsung 840 Evo makes things easy by offering them all, and more.

The Samsung 840 Evo solid-state drive offers overall excellent performance; top storage space; and useful bundled software; at low cost

The three-year warranty is relatively short; and the drive's sequential read speed could be a tad better

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.

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 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.

The cloning software made it very easy. It put all my software and files on the new hard drive. No reinstalling windows and software. It was quick and didn't require a IT professional to complete the process.

With the Samsung Rapid Mode enabled this SSD performs like a champ! I had to use the Samsung Performance restoration tool though to stop performance degredation (known issue). You may need to check your firmware and use the tool if needed. It's a one-time operation that went without a hitch

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.

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.

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.

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.
