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

Its impossible to evaluate a product designed to last 5-6 years within a week. I appreciate quality reviews, but this feedback is premature. Previous models have lasted over a year without issue and provide great performance/value.

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

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?

Back up your computer, substitute this drive and restore your system to the new drive. It will be MUCH faster. I have done this to four Windows 10 computers with excellent results. Be sure to install the free Samsung Magician software (from the Samsung web site) to set up Over Provisioning for better performance and longevity. If installing into a desktop computer, the very inexpensive Orico 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter makes it easy.

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

Easy to install and it helped

Had to return

Item arrived as described. Thank you.

Works great!

Wonderful to get this installed on my 7 year old MacBook Pro.
