Samsung produces high quality SSDs like the 860 EVO and I highly recommend this SSD for the price and the long lifespan. The installation is easy and requires only 3 minutes of work. Just to let you know in advance, you will also need a SATA III cable to connect this to your motherboard.

I bought this drive few months back when it fell into my budget and to be honest it has shown a great performance increase. Even better performance increment than RAM upgrade. Now that the SSD prices are going down drastically, it is the right time to make switch from the traditional.

Inexpensive; Lightweight

I know its sata 3 ssd but Its still amazing. as fast as their NVme cousins with older-laptop compatibility. I have an Asus republic of gamers G551 laptop and was looking for an SSD that is compatible with it since my laptop was running slow so I got this drive and my laptop now boots with antivirus...

I bought this to replace the mechanical hard drive in my Mac Mini, which was horrifically slow and unresponsive. With this SSD, suddenly the computer is fast and actually usable. It's literally a night and day difference. It's almost as perceptibly fast as the NVMe SSD in my main PC.

After Microsoft Window's 1804 (Spring) forced update of Windows 10 Home (AVOID!!!), my old standard disk started a slow death. Windows files were fragmented and not only did it fail to repair itself, it seemed to be making everything worse, until the laptop would not boot at all following a CHKDSK.

Was Easy to upgrade from my exisiting SSD via Samsung cloning software included.

Be careful when you buy this product. You need to also buy a M.2 USB adapter to transfer your old data. Also the Samsung migration software which you have to download. did not work for me despite multiple attempts. I ultimately had to buy Paragons HD Manager to clone my old data to the new drive.

My local Office Max store where out of stock on these drives, so I had to special order one. And It sure was worth the week I had to wait for it. I downloaded the Samsung Migration software and the Magician driver software before installing the new drive to the PC.

almost effortless cloning; easy to use migration and driversoftware; inexpensive; fast and quiet

should have come with mounting screws

ASK SAMSUNG TO MAKE IT GO FASTER !!!

FAST; FAST; FAST

Samsung has replaced the longtime reigning champion of the mainstream SSD market. We test out the 860 EVO to see whether doubling V-NAND layers doubles...
