SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)

Easy to install. Very fast and completely compatible with all my apps, programs and Windows 10

500GB of free space (not less like some other drives). I have a 950 pro m.2 as my main windows drive, grabbed this to stick in and put macOS on. Works, getting speeds as advertised.

Product stopped working after about 1 month in my macbook pro. Getting the 4hdd/11/40000004:SATA(0,0) error found message in system diagnostics. It was fine while it was working but I have to leave a low review because SSDs should simply not go bad under normal use conditions. Also, I dont want to return it because I have private data on it and Samsung tends to refurbish these by replacing the faulty controllers and then re-selling them. The chance that they would fix and release it means there is a possibility that my data could fall into someones hands that wants to commit identity theft or otherwise. So unless a hard 0 format procedure works, this one is going to get the hammering and Im out 140 bucks. Ill update if it works. Not holding my breath.

I was unfortunate enough to get a bad drive that failed just short of one year old, and without any warning. A 5 year warranty is all well and good, but the reality is something else. Hey folks, you may want to get familiar with Samsungs warranty procedure. There are enough hoops to jump through to make you just want to toss it in the trash instead. Very disappointed. Replaced it with a Crucial model from amazon. Hoping it will survive the test of time better than this thing did.

One of my two hard drives was failing and I replaced them both with this solid-state drive. What a difference! Rebooting/startup takes a fraction of the time. It generates less heat, very quiet. If I had known then what I know now, I would have ordered my computer with a SS drive at the outset.

This hard drive rocks. After I installed Windows 10 on it, made my 10 year, self build machine runs like new. OS boots up in 60s or less. Yes! 60 seconds!!!

It works pretty good until it gets hot and then the computer crashes because of the SSD. I never had a problem with the computer crashing until I ran Windows 7 from the SSD. Very disappointing. This is the replacement for the first one I ordered. The first one was crashing within 1 minute of windows starting and the replacement isnt much better. I also have another samsung SSD that is half the storage capacity on another computer but has the same problem of crashing when it gets hot. I have been using these for the last 12 months and have just been dealing with it. But if I had a do over. I wouldnt have bought them because I value a stable system over a fast one.

bought this to house my steam, battlenet, and origin librarys, and its serving me well. no stutters, no slow moments, and when im downloading a new game i can take advantage of the full bandwidth capacity of my internet. before, i was being bottlenecked by the speed of my harddrive, and now im getting roughly 5x the speed on the ssd.

Bought in July 2017. Still working great. Pros: - SSD Cons: - I like Samsung SSDs and have no complaints with it in terms of it doing what its supposed to. However, one thing that has always annoyed me is that they dont print the size on the top... if you are screwing down your SSD into a drive mount then only the top side is visible. Get a couple differently sized Samsung drives over the years and you wont know which is which unless youve labeled them manually or taken the time to unscrew everything and verify. Doesnt seem like it would be all that difficult for them to correct either.

I love it. good SSD for Price and just blows any HDD out the water. I recommend it to anyone who wants an upgrade for a reasonable cost.
