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

Great starter SSD loads games and files like 100 times faster than a normal hard drive

I have nothing but praise for Samsung SSD drives. This is my fourth purchase of a Samsung drive. I would highly recommend this drive to anyone looking for a replacement for a mechanical drive for just for additional storage on an existing system.

The speed on this drive is incredible. I installed it on my Macbook Pro (Late 2011) to replace the stock HDD and it breathed new life into my computer. Boot times are super fast and applications launch almost immediately. It is as if I have a new computer. Great investment and very satisfied with my purchase.

Its very fast and it surely the best upgrade i have for my old laptop, but it broke down after a month. But luckily I could get same day replacement from Amazon. Thank you for great service

I swapped out a fading 7200rpm HDD in my 2011 iMac for this. Before the swap I was hitting around 40MB/s and now it is benching at 500MB/s on both write and read. Boot up and app opening is almost instant. Such a big difference.

Breathed new life into my 6yr old laptop which has 4GB RAM, the maximum it can take. I carried out clean installs of Win7 Pro x64 and Ubuntu 14.04 and the responsiveness is significant. Speed benchmarks were around 290Mbps for both read/write using Magician software because my machine has a SATA II interface. I will carry over the SSD to a new laptop when I replace my current one later this year and will not be going back to HDDs. {UPDATE 14/12/2015}: After ~8 months of use, I have no issues whatsoever and have transferred the SSD to a new laptop (HP 15, Intel Core i3-5010U, 16GB RAM) I acquired 2 weeks ago. Im still dual booting Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Windows 10 64bit and both OSes are even more responsive given the matching SATA III interface. I maintain my 5-star rating for this product.

I have this as a replacement for the old HDD on my 2012 summer Macbook pro without Retina Display. Works like a charm pretty sure Im good for another few years no problem. Boots up in less than 10 seconds. AWESOME!

Bought four of the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSDs for a raid 10 installation. All four installed without any issues and are currently operating as planned. Would recommend to other potential users.

I have installed three of these so far (two 500 gig and one 1TB). They are fast and very reliable. In the past they were more expense than other SSDs, but lately their price is also very competitive, to. Best of both worlds. My data is just too important to use slightly cheaper or unknown drives. I trust Samsung 850s because they have earned my trust.

originally was boot drive. now sits as extra space for games Pros works as intended reliable
