Complete diagnostic software included. SSD worked right out of the box.

My 2nd Samsung evo in this machine. Went from 250 to 500. One thing that came up in both installs that wasn’t covered in software or units instructions was to get into the bios and change startup drive order. Had to repoint it at the new ssd (with OS cloned to it)as #1 to get it to go with no error. Didn’t matter which sata port or anything else, it’s tied to the specific drive unit. No biggie but you have to know to do it. Took me a bit of screwing around to figure out what the issue was but once it was done, smooth as silk. Stick with the Samsung!

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

My wifes is no longer complaining about her laptop be so slow after I changed out the HHD for an SSD.

Replaced an HDD with this and man my hp probook 450g1 is lightning fast now running Linux Mint 20...Id give it more stars if I could.. Highly satisfied to say the least

Samsung is a good brand when it comes to SSDs. My laptop is 5 years old with a 5400rpm HDD. Successfully cloned with everything and what a difference in run times. If you are planning to clone your old hard drive to a Samsung SSD you will need to buy a SATA transfer cable which isnt expensive. You will also need to use the Samsung Data Migration software to clone the drive. Just do a Google search to find it. Its easy to use and its free to download from Samsung. Theres also a user guide for the software on the same webpage.

I went from a hard drive to SSD this is an awesome product would recommend to anyone have not had issues at all

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?
