Fast response

installed this on 2 different computer and it increased boot and load time of games from your standard hard drive. Windows 10 boots within 15 seconds from a complete power off state. Total load time with 20 background apps is about 30 seconds.

Just buy it, it's a no-brainer!

You will see much improved boot times, and applications will open considerably faster. they also improve battery life on laptops as these do not have motors or mechanical They are pretty much the best upgrade you can do to a PC or Mac.

Lasted exactly 3 years

I purchased this drive in December 2015 and installed it in a lightly used desktop computer. It worked well and was very fast compared to the drive it replaced. December 2018 and the drive went completely non-responsive and Windows and Linux drive diagnostic software cannot bring it back.

Samsung SSD 850 Evo 2TB Review

The first SSD I used day to day in my main PC was the Intel X25-M and despite being an eye-watering $4.87 per gigabyte, the 80GB model was a bargain at $390 considering the SLC X25-E was selling for almost twice that in a miniscule 64GB capacity.
Pros:
  • Highest capacity consumer SSD available
  • performance is consistent with and often a tad faster than the 500GB 850 Evo
  • pricing is fair
Cons:
  • Fair doesn't mean inexpensive and if you're on a budget
  • two of Samsung's 1TB SSDs are a tad cheaper than one of the 2TB models

Very fast, but not bootable on SATA3

I spent days (DAYS!) trying to get their software to create an image of my existing Win7 disk that were bootable. I failed and installed a clean OS. Still no boot. Finally moved it to the SATA2 ports on the MoBo. Booted! Moved it back to the SATA3 ports, no boot.
