Even though it has only been a month, I have been pleased. The reputation of Samsung's solid state drives is a€| well, solid, so I feel I can trust it with my data. I added this to a laptop with a platter drive as I wanted the extra speed for video editing when I am on the road.

Easy to install; Great speeds

Windows 8 did not seem to recognize it at first; Formatted through Linux, and then it was fine

FAST! I have this installed in an external mSata enclosure connected to my computer via usb 3.0 cable. Rather than extra storage, I cloned my OS to the drive and run my system through it with zero issues.

Inexpensive; Lightweight; fast; easy install

If I had a better budget I would've bought a 500 GB. But it's fine, I dont use that much. easy to install on my Dell i7-6700HQ. came with everything necessary

Used this to upgrade an HDD laptop which had a spare unused m.2 slot, as always with SSD's the performance upgrade is just out of this planet, once you get one of these in your computing life, you'll never be able to use a computer with a classic HDD, nor should you!

just now added to my HP x360 EnvyM6 AQ105 18h nov2017 its very easy and magician software by Samsung is awesome after so many days of reaserch and hard work finally work is done with a great fear as my laptop was brand new with HDD no ssd now i can use both for booting ssd M.2 sata and HDD as...

Lightweight

I just purchased the Samsung 850 Evo in a z270e Strix motherboard. It was an ease to install once I realized this takes a SATA port away from motherboard. So you will have to move your primary hard drive if its using the first port. This threw me off guard as my primary dive disappeared.

The look of the item can trick you to think it is a 2.5" standard physical size. But it needs an adaptor in my application before in my laptop.

I'd owned my computer for 2 years without issues. Then, I installed this and my screen started having issues almost immediately and broke shortly after; so I got it replaced and that screen broke again shortly after; so I got it replaced again and it *also* broke shortly after.
