Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM)

Speed of the computer improved a lot

Years ago SSD were not so cost effective. This time around they are much more affordable. I snagged this ssd for a good deal. No issues or complaints. This is one fast ssd.

Easy installation. My first time replacing my hard drive and even as a newbie, the process was extremely simple with the included software to transfer data. However, it wouldnt work for a while and then I saw an update option. After the update it was great. But Samsung should send these things with the latest updates, duh.

Drive functions perfectly. Im using it as backup for Linux systems so had to format to ext4 file system. Worked fine with gparted.

Bought this with Mediasonic USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps 2.5 SATA SSD / Hard Drive Enclosure - Aluminum Body (HDK-SU31) for XB1. Love it!

If you need to breath some new life into your older computer this option is a cheap and effective way to do it. My only complaint is its no faster than a cheaper, lower capacity and older SSD that it replaced, other than that Im very happy with it.

Best feature is the drive worked out of the package. The Samsung software (Samsung Magician) for mirroring drives is nice and made the swap of an HDD for the SSD easy. I would recommend a Samsung drive based on that software alone. I put this drive in a laptop that is about five years old and it drastically improved the performance. No more waiting for startup or waking from sleep. It is to the sign in page in a second or two. If you are looking at upgrades this is a worthwhile one and I would recommend this drive.

This is the first solid state drive I have purchased and its the best upgrade Ive made to my 2015 Dell Inspiron 14 laptop. The hard disk drive I had prior to this installation worked fine but I knew that everything could be much faster with the Samsung 860 Evo. After cloning my previous hard drive (this took about 4 hours for 320GB at 20-30 MB/s) the installation took about 20-25 minutes. Once installed, my laptop booted up in 5 seconds compared to the 30 seconds it took prior to installing an SSD.

Excellent quality of lightweight SSD, small I fit my CASE perfectly.

Really fast. Thats about it. It works and hasnt died yet so what more is there to say.
