SAMSUNG 860 EVO MZ-76E500E 500 GB Solid State Drive - SATA (SATA/600) - 2.5 Drive - Internal - 550 MB/s Maximum Read Transfer Rate - 520 MB/s Maximum Write Transfer Rate - 256-bit Encryption Standard

The drive is perfectly fine, but I worry about the warranty. This drive I received was packaged as a OEM Not for Retail Sale drive. Many OEM products do not receive end-user warranties from the manufacturer. The end-user is expected to go through the computer manufacturer who installed the drive. So if my drive fails, who do I go to on the warranty? Amazon? Performance Tech?

good

I had to purchase a cable to connect the SATA 3.0 to USB. No biggie got one on Amazon. Plugged the SSD into the cable, then into the laptop, and used the Samsung software to copy/mirror/transfer the old hard drive. No hitches and copied perfectly. Installed this in the older laptop and now it boots lightning fast. I love it and highly recommend this product. It gave my old 17 laptop new life (along with 4 gig memory) I am beyond pleased.

Item arrived as described. Thank you.

Up grade an old laptop and wow its like new and so much faster,

ONCE YOU GET USED TO SPEED, INSTANT RESPONSE, FASTER VIRUS PROTECTION, QUIET, LESS POWER. YOU CANT GO BACK TO HDD.. USING 860 EVO IN NUC7PJYH [QUADCORE PENTIUM] A PERFECT MATCH OF SPEED AND POWER.

Fit the bill for a data drive, I forgot to run disk manager at first my bad but a good SSD for an older computer.

I just got a Samsung TV after a cheaper brand burned out after 18 months. So being happy with that, I went for this slightly-pricey SSD. It works fine. Reviews online said it was among the fastest drives out there, even though the competitors are major memory-chip makers. (Shouldnt competent memory chip people know how to make great SSD drives?) But a big plus for Samsung is supposed to be their invincible data migration software, which is unique to them. And Im cloning my old HDD, so its an easy choice. But it wasnt simple to get my multiple drives to boot Windows 10 to run the Samsung duke-le-duke software. I ultimately used Clonezilla (open source) on a flash drive to get things booting correctly. (Copying an entire hard drive to a new SSD is mega tedious.) Unintentionally, Ive become more comfortable with Linux stuff. Who knew? Still, a good solid SSD from maybe the biggest name in the field. P.S. What the heck is sheerness of an SSD?

Worked after formatting

Very easy to install. Much faster start times and more responsive computer. Feels like a whole new computer.
