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.

SSDs continue to drop in price, to the point that there's little excuse not to have one in your PC or laptop, but storage capacity remains a concern.

Sometimes, even if you're only spending a small amount of money, it's worth shelling out that little bit more and getting yourself a superior piece of technology. That edict is very much true when it comes to getting a new solid state drive for your PC, actually.

The 850 EVO has been tested for over 3 years of use with our desktops & laptops & we have yet to have one fail. (We have had other SSD brands fail, but not the 850 EVO) Great performance and reliability

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...
