SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)

This drive failed in less than 2 months, past my amazon return date. Getting warranty service from samsung is ridiculously difficult. The existing documentation encourages the customer to use the web to open a support ticket and does not list a phone number. However, the web forms dont even list the model so you cant complete the process over the web. I wasted a lot of time trying to use their web support service. **Update 6/17/15** As a new-to-Samsung customer, after much digging to get RMA service via the web, I finally found a number to call: 800.726.7864. You need to talk to a rep to get an RMA form emailed to you. Bottom line, do not try to use the online web forms to get an RMA, as they do not list all models of SSDs in their dropdowns. ***Update July 1: finally received my replacement drive today. Warranty terms clearly state that if purchased within 90 days and with proof of purchase (which I did), Samsung will replace defective unit with a new drive. I just received a REFURB drive. Emailed a request to warranty support contact (outsourced to Total Tech Solutions) to ask for a new replacement. Will update you when I get a response. Im used to much better service from vendors like Dell, Cisco, and HP servers. During the replacement process, the Total Tech rep explained that the extended turnaround time for warranty replacement is due to their waiting for management approval (from Seagate?).

working great so far, would definitely recommend this product over other off-brand substitutes

This SSD is a beast. CrystalDiskMark shows 500-550 MB/s for reading and writing, Win10 load process takes 5 seconds no more. I definitely recommend it.

Very good

**I am just posting a tip for those who may have issues with a transfer** I searched HOURS AND HOURS for why my computer wouldnt seem to start the transfer (mine stayed at 0%) - if you are getting any issues try this: TURN OFF WINDOWS DEFENDER. It seriously worked, and 30 minutes later it was smooth sailing with my fancy new HDD. I just disabled protection during the transfer, and re-enabled it when I booted with the new drive. You can do this by looking down at the little icon in your tray, or simply typing defender in your search (Win 7/8) / Cortana (Win 10). If you are having any other issues with the software, check all of your security settings and any anti-spyware / malware / macafee stuff you may have on.

has since November 12, 2017. So far it has been good and quite fast. i do reccommend it and i will be getting a second one soon.

Much faster than my noisy wd caviar black 1t i recommend it

I am sold on putting an SSD drive in any of my laptops to make it faster and last longer. I had a two year Dell laptop that took a long time to load applications and was so slow the kids finally put it in the drawer and stopped using it. It had a regular HDD in it. I put this Samsung EVO 850 SSD drive in it and now the kids love it. It is fast enough to stream movies and open up multiple applications at the same time. Samsung has been a solid brand that i have trusted for many years. I have purchased two of these through Amazon in the past month. I will definitely purchase this product again.

No cable - that stinks but the drive is wicked fast. Battery life is much better.

I found the change over smooth using the included software to clone the existing hardrive.
