Good product! Remember to get USB (from computer) to SATA (SSD) cable, doesn't come with it!

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.

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.

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 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.

Mediocre random write performance; RAPID mode is Windows only
