Degrading performance had me take the step to upgrade the hard drive. Glad I did, faster loading, quicker responses have enabled me to do more work in less time.

The Samsung 850 PRO arrived just too late for last year's round-up of the best SSDs, but even a year down the line it still has little serious competition in the stakes for the world's best SATA SSD.

Bought this to refresh my ageing MacBook pro 2011. Decided to reinstall OS from scratch. Plopped it in. Now it is running like new with loads more headroom. No need to go out and buy a new, and expensive, MacBook replacement - hence this drive was a really bargain.

If you have a SATA-based PC and want to fit it with the best storage, take a close look at the Samsung 850 PRO. Samsung 850 PRO 1 TB review. Samsung 850 PRO 1 TB benchmarks.

I bought this SSD for both its quality and storage size. Went in without a hitch and the Samsung software easily copied my two 400GB RAID 0 drives to it flawlessly. Three partitions were copied. Not one hitch. If you want more speed, buy several smaller size 850 EVO Pros and RAID 0 them.

I bought this drive to replace my "old" Samsung SSD 830 with 256 GB. I did not notice huge improvement in speed. That said I am not doing huge data transfers. Both drives are really fast, but needed a bigger main drive, as I use computer for work as well as entertainment, and when working do not...

speed; capacity; easy of installation and data transfer

Coming from the old hard disk, I'm very impressed with the performance of this Samsung 850 Pro SSD. If there is no Windows update, I think my computer is shutting down in 3 seconds. I replaced my WD Black Edition with this SSD and very impressed with the performance. Absolutely recommended.

Easy to install, and the results are immediate. My laptop is lightning fast now, and the only downside is that I can't go to the restroom on loading times anymore. Definitely a must-buy!

samsung pro is the way to go. excellent performance and totally reliable. the evo is also good if the pro is out of your price range

I installed this drive in my new HP 15Z Laptop about 3 hours ago and have been using it ,testing it ,and this drive vs the 1tb spin drive installed in it from the factory is like daylight and dark difference both performance wise and battery usage wise. I highly recommend it to all.

fast; low power usage
