Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SATA 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-77E500)

einwandfreie Ware

Hello Amazonians, My existing setup is as follows: Laptop: Legion y740 15inch with RTX2070 MaxQ HDD: 1TB 2.5 inch (7mm) 7200rpm (stock) SSD: 128GB m.2 NVMe Pcie 2242 m+b key (stock) with Win10Home Wanted to upgrade both the: A.) existing 1TB 7200 rpm HDD as well as the B.) 128GB m.2 NVMe pcie SSD With: A.) 2TB Samsung 870 EVO 2.5inch SATA SSD B.) 1TB Samsung 980 m.2 (2280) NVMe pcie SSD m key (for Win10 OS). As i only use the Lenovo Legion y740 15 for gaming purpose so with games having humongous download sizes, 1TB HDD was filling up faster (was left with only 250GB of 1TB space) and also the 7200rpm drive was real slow for game load times (waiting of 3-5 mins) for a game load. As of the current Gen, a NVMe pcie based m.2 SSD is the fastest drive in the market and Samsung 980 is the latest iteration from its new lineup of m.2. Ofcourse there are the PRO version m.2s as well but those are just out of budget and out of scope from a gaming/home use kind of scenarios unless one is into heavy video editing, designing and vfx purposes. Installing both the SSDs is fairly simple as just the screws are to be removed (follow your laptop manual for the same) and pop in these in their respective slots and secure them with screws. A word of caution though: m.2 slot on the laptop/desktop motherboard are mostly M Key based (female notch placed at the right side of a m.2 SSD that goes into the male notch on the motherboard). Also, most laptop/desktop motherboards easily support varying lengths of m.2 SSDs like 2242 2260 and the longest 2280 (22 is the width in mm where as the last 2 numbers i.e. 42, 60 and 80 are the lengths in mm). Also, a 2.5 inch (7 mm or 9 mm) HDD/SSD enclosure can also be bought so that you can keep your old HDD/SSD as a portable HDD/SSD within the enclosure. I bought the transparent ORICO 2.5 mm model 2193U3 HDD/SSD enclosure (have reviewed that as well) and i keep my 7200 rpm 1TB HDD inside this enclosure after having it replaced with the 2TB Samsung 870 EVO. Likewise, there is also an enclosure for the m.2 NVME PCIE SSD available from the same brand, ORICO. Check it out at amazon.in as well. So, I made a BOOTABLE win10 usb (using the Windows Medial tool online) so that I can install the OS on the newly installed m.2 2280 ssd and the entire process took less than 30 mins from hardware installation to OS inatallation from USB to the new m.2 ssd. There is Less to No Comparison of Quality and Price of Samsung SSDs with other brands like Sabrent, Crucial, WD etc. Kindly like the review if it helped to make your buying decision that much easier. Cheers and e-peace...

No problem moving the whole file from the old drive to the new one

Nada que reseñar, se trata de un SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO de un Tb para sustituir a un 850 EVO de 500Gb, que se me estaba quedando algo pequeño

The product is very good and working just fine but one main issue I have was that I only received 930 GB in stead of 1TB. This is my first time buying ssd so I’m not so sure what’s going on or whether it has something to do with the computer too but the storage is only 930 for me.

Simple d’installation, rapidité et capacité importante, ce disque SSD est le complément du disque système pour le stockage. À voir sur la durée mais ayant déjà deux SSD Samsung depuis cinq ans, je suis confiant.

Swift performance

This is the fourth samsung evo ssd i have purchased. They always work well.

Solved my issue and rectified my slow loading PC. Now my PC is working like a charm

I expected a retail Samsung EVO 870 1 TB SATA SSD but it turns out to be a OEM SSD but it does show up on Samsung Magician Software so no worries.
