Switched SSHD in my b?rbarPC with SSD from Samsung after reading tests and recommendations and are very satisfied. Old fashioned hdd limiting productivity in a modern PC. All new PCs must have at least one SSD to OS and preferably be without hdd as it consumes more power and is slower.

I bought this drive because I heard I could get my computer to be faster and boy is it ever!! Definitely get one of these for your laptop and you'll wish you had done it sooner like I do!!

Today we're looking at the M.2 version of Samsung's popular 850 Evo SSD. We've already benchmarked the 2.5-inch 840 Evo and 850 Evo , so we're curious to see how this smaller form factor shapes up. Thanks to Samsung, we've got our hands on a unit to serve in our XSR test rig, so let's take a look!

Pretty fast; Super tiny

Not the fastest; Limited to SATA speeds

The Samsung 850 EVO 500GB is an extremely impressive SSD that provides class-leading technology and speeds to the market. Through our benchmark results, we found the drive to perform consistently well and above all its competitors.

I wanted to upgrade the hard disk of my laptop so I decided to get an SSD instead of a normal hard drive. After upgrading to SSD my laptop is much faster and everything loads quickly.

After purchasing the 250gb Samsung 850 EVO drive for a new Laptop, I decided to upgrade the primary system drive in my aging Mac Pro 3,1 tower. While the main drive slots do not support the full read/write speed of the drive, I purchased a PCI card that allows the drive to reach full speed and act...

I bought this for my Macbook Pro (early 2011) as it was really struggling with updating to the new OS systems without sacrificing speed. It was easy to install the new HD and the improvement in speed is really noticeable. Well worth the money for the upgrade.

So easy to install! Works great! Very happy!

This SSD drive is fantastic, it's made my 3 year old Vaio like a rocket compared to before. General startup time, app start, file access is fast. Best thing was to easy app that mirrors over the old drive to the new drive, now install issues at all.

I love the Samsung range of drives and needed some extra space. Opted for this one and installed without issue and the Samsung software is very good. Drive performance is good and I'm already considering adding another one in the near future.
