SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B

I had a small (240g and full) ssd as the boot drive. I connected the new 4tb ssd, turn the computer on and used the Samsung magician app (you have to get this on the web, its free but does not come with the new ssd) It made an exact copy of my small ssd and thats it. I removed my old ssd because its too small to be useful but I could have reformat it.

Initialized it on Windows10 only for it to disappear and require reinstallation. Over and over. System would not recognize the ssd consistently. Returned to purchase EVO.

It was a little more pricy than some other SATA SSDs. This is my second drive with my main drive as M.2. I am happy so far.

Easy to setup and use. Works like a charm!!

Very fast and reliable. I paid over 200 dollars, you couldnt include screws or a new cable?

Easy installation, worked right from the start.

Lo que sí batalle es para instalar window, no me dejaba, tuve que formatear por cmd y cambiarle el formato al disco. Pero funcionó.

I was sent a “new” product that clearly has been opened before. Might return.

Installed samsung software and was very easy to clone my old hardrive

Big upgrade from my 2012ish dc powered 5Tb Seagate Backup Plus hard drive. Its quicker than they are but not as quick as I would like naturally. FASTER IS ALWAYS BETTER LOL. Im kidding I went with these because ssd is more reliable for external laptop usage and I really wanted an external ssd with 8TB under $1000 that can be raided in the future. This drive is still limited to usb 3.0 so new macs with thunderbolt 3 wont get that speed but its still usable for my usage. Video guys probably need a thunder bolt 3/4 capable dock with a bunch of raided M.2 PCle x4 Gen3 ssds for that super fast speed I originally sought after. At the time of writing this thunderbolt 3/4 nas or docks are few and far between. The m2 drives also a little too pricey for 8Tb versions, and youd need a few. These SSD are durable you take care of them. One of these 8TB stores my 3TB of data and the other as a Time Machine - backs up the 3TB the first initial time in like 6-8 hours but daily incremental changes now back up in like 3 minutes versus 25 minutes like before. I use my old 5TB hard drives as a water fall time machine now and I cant even get one initial backup to complete in daily use time of my laptop so I have to run it over night.
