Installed the 1TB 850 EVO as my factory hard drive was failing. Admittedly I dont really know what I'm doing here, but after gettting the proper SATA-USB3 cable the installation was fairly painless. My BIOS time is now less than 4Sec, Protools loads in probably less than 10sec.

Just what the doctor ordered for my gaming laptop Lenovo Y50-70. The Crystal Disk Mark 5 and AS SSD scores are off the roof after enabling the RAPID and Over-provisioning function using Samsung Magacian (see attached pics). The SSD has catapulted the performance of my laptop.

I just got it for my laptop and it was really it to migrate everything with the Samsung migration software. And it is very fast : my laptop now boots in about 8-10 secs, which is great for me.

Fast SSD; Good price; Looks great; Easy migration software

I was having issues and asked for the drive to be replaced. WD & Seagate have an advanced replacement where I give them a credit card, they ship me the replacement & I ship the old drive back. Samsung does not do this, this is their policy: We do Repair First procedure now.

Fast and reliable with industry leading tech and 5 years warranty. Highly recommended!

A little expensive for now and keeps going up

I managed to find this drive on a Rakuten special price for $110. At that price this is an absolute steal. This drive is lightning fast and blows away other quality SSDs. It literally transfers data at twice the speed of my PNY SSD drive and that one flies!

I use this as my game drive with a 250 Pro as my boot/OS drive; load times are super fast and it hasn't given me any issues in a year.....would recommend.

Fast; reliable; decent price

not the cheapest drive out there?

HDDs are heavy and require a lot of room. I used to run two 2TB and one 4TB HDDs in my desktop machine for data drives and had a set of four more backup HDDs for each data drive in my computer: two in each set were kept onsite (aka home) and the other two in the set were kept offsite in my safe...

High capacity; inceased speed; lower weight; smaller size; lower power consumption; runs cooler than HDDs; dead quiet; five year warranty

Price is higher than a kite

If you're on the fence about an SSD, pull the trigger and buy this drive. Worried about the 150TB lifecycle of writes I was. Let me put your mind at ease: I reloaded my entire OS (Windows 10), reloaded X-Plane, a ton of orthographic scenery, and all my daily-driver programs.

This drive is everything you have heard

None; Well, maybe that its price-point seems to have stalled I bought it at a great price, and this product's price is pretty stable

Samsung is a market leaders when it comes to SSD performance, and its flagship 850 Pro ratcheted the bar even higher. It offered stonking speed, and provided ample evidence that controlling the research, development and production of a drive provides the best results.

Consistent; fast read and write speeds; Cheaper than 850 Pro; Decent warranty

850 Pro drive is faster still; Lesser endurance rating; No extras included
