I have built and support a few dozens of computers using Samsung SSD (840/850 EVO/PRO) and I've never had a single issue or complaint - not once! They're now my first choice for a SSD, over Crucial, Corsair, OCZ, Kingston, or the others I haven't really used, so I gladly pay an extra ~20 bucks for...

... is for those people who, like me, want to clone an HDD but are not sure how to go about it. It is not for the technologically minded amongst you who want to know the results of this or that benchmark test: I have no idea whether this drive is as fast as it is advertised or anything like that.

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

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.
