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.

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

price

I think I'll grab two of the 1-TB versions for my gaming laptop and stripe them so they're twice as fast. :D

Speed

Cost

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 have purchased quite a few hard ssds and always come back to Samsung. magician and transfer software works first time and no bugs left behind after the swap. Cant see how you could improve on this one. Off the scale performance on a i7 processor

simple and effective

nothing to dislike

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.

When it works it's good. Next time a different brand.

Fast; lots of storage

Stops responding every once in a while requiring a reboot Very bad firmware support search samsung 850 pro firmware if you want to see for yourself..

Top quality SSD. Perfect for a PC build to run your OS. Fantastic boot time with Windows 10

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.

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
