Bought this to replace a Crucial M500 which was hosting a windows 10 VM on my imac. The Crucial disk wasn't giving any problems but I wanted the extra space and what I thought was extended life.

Time will tell, however from past purchases the Samsung's have proven very reliable. This drive comes with system copy software as well as health analysis software.

Solid reliable SSD drive. I use it to replace an older and smaller, 500GB, Crucial M500 SSD drive. This 850 Pro drive is much faster to boot and run programs.

Samsung Customer Support will not advance replace a defective drive. Instead, you must ship the defective drive to Samsung, wait for them to test, repair or replace, and return ship. So if you (as I) need reliable, advanced replacement, Samsung is not the company to consider

Replacing a hard drive, use an SSD. Increases your system performance by at least 3 times. The PRO model has a 10 year warranty, nothing else like that. If they are offering that type of warranty, you know they used the good stuff to build it.

Installed it in a mid-2012 MBP unibody A1278 with macOS sierra update, 16GB RAM, after the factory HDD crashed. Reinstalled Yosemite on the SSD. EtreCheck went from "very poor" to "excellent". MBP boots up very fast.

Make sure all your drivers & your BIOS are up to date. Make sure you know your passwords & pin numbers, and attempt to delete using them to access the computer in the boot up sequence.

10 year warranty; Magician software; Fast as greased lightning on a wet lawn; Computer boots from a cold start to ready in 14 seconds; Rugged, and less likely to fail due to mechanical problems, as these don't have any moving parts

Maybe the price, but you only cry once with buying the high quality items; If the drive goes bad, you will lose your data, IT'S GONE! There is no putting the disc into another working drive and recovering the data.

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

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

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!
