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

This drive just added years of life to my 3 year old laptop. I dont know if this drive is any faster than lets say another 500 Gb SSD, but I do know that compared to the 750 Gb 5400 rpm hard drive that was in my laptop previously, it makes a world of difference. The computer boots up in a flash, and access to data like photos is super quick. Same goes for writing any kind of file. Even though my laptop does not have a USB 3.0 port, the computer now has to wait for the flash drive instead of the other way around. Reviews I read said that the technology underlying this SSD is advanced beyond other SSDs, and as far as I can tell, it appears to be so.

I received a package in three days. It was actually delivered on a Sunday! The order was complete and just as advertised. The drive is very fast and has increased my storage. I am very pleased.

Bought this for my now older ROG laptop. Few years later took it out and put into a new ROG laptop and still it is holding up. I have a Evo 256 for my windows drive and use this 500 for games. Super fast read/write. Easy to install and setup. Perfect for playing games.

Item is as described and better than what I expected. I have no issues with this product and everything functions well. I purchased this item for my first computer build. Price and quality is perfect.

The best upgrade I could made to my laptops. I install three of these in different laptops and they all lighting fast now.

Four months after purchase and daily use, this drive somehow lost all my partitions one day. So all the data organized into those partitions was lost. Tools report the drive health is Good. Virus scan finds nothing. So no explanation, just a major data loss. My local computer repair shop couldnt recover it. And a top of the line data recovery firm estimated it could cost up to $2500 and take 3-4 weeks to recover anything, if it was even possible. Fortunately, I had some backups and was able to restore most of the data. What I dont get back is the week spent on the issue. But after talking to an IT professional and friend, I wont be buying any more SSDs, only standard hard drives. Thats what my IT pro pal recommends to his clients. The old school technology is more reliable and more recoverable if it does fail.

This is an incredible boost to the speed of my system. Highly recommended. I was thinking I would have to replace my laptop but with this SSD it works faster than new, with much higher user experience scores!

Still working great over a year later. The speed boost is pretty nice as well but the main thing is no hard drive issues and no moving so I dont worry about moving around with my laptop anymore.

This drive is fantastic. Im so glad these things finally came down in price as Ive been waiting to upgrade the hard drive on my Macbook Pro 13 mid 2012. Installation took less than 5 minutes thanks to a quick youtube video and I set up the drive using a Time Machine backup from my external hard drive. The difference in read/write speeds was 13/14 times faster, respectively. Boot time is at 10 seconds; from the time I turn on the computer to the time I can click a program. No more beachball when trying to open programs and shut down is just as quick too. This drive was definitely worth the price. Great value!

Best thing we ever did to our computer (period). We have a 2009 17 Macbook Pro, it was getting real slow, so we upgraded the hard drive to the 850 EVO 500GB. Our system is running 6.3 times faster! Easy to do, we installed hard drive into the computer, downloaded a new version of Yosemite, and migrated all our applications, files and settings from the old hard to the new SSD hard drive using a sata to usb cable... easy peasy. It took us 15 minutes to install the hard drive, and about 3 hours to migrate all of our stuff (185 gigs). No question, do it!
