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

I recently received this product on the mail and immediately noticed something very odd. Unlike the previous one I bought a year ago, this one came packed in a plain white box. It did not come in a fancy branded marketing box, the glossy type with the picture and the description of the product on the outside. So now I am wondering if this Mickey Mouse type of box (plain with a couple of barcodes and a label that reads Mot for Retail Sale) means that this is not the real product but a reap off or if this is really refurbished. Very disappointed and now I am thinking of returning this item and go for another brand.

I used it to replace my laptops Hard Drive. After the replacement, the laptop now works much faster, like magic.

It was easy to install. When I remove the old one, i compare it with the old one and it was the exact same size

I put this on my 2011 Sony and it’s as fast as a new computer and easy to install.

Fast, reliable, has yet to have a Sammy SSD fail on me, if it ever does I will update review to reflect the failure and the experience with Customer Service.

just as advertised with plenty of storage 1TB ssd by crucial!!!

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.

Dead on arrival. Would not identify. Did not show warmth on thermal scan. DOA.

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.
