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

Absolutely love this hard drive. I used the free samsung cloning software and copied over my old hard drive via this usb/sata adapter i had to purchase seperately, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJZJI84/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2 ,but now my windows loads almost immediately, MatLab, AutoCad and Solidworks all load extremely fast, probbly 4x faster than the original 5400rpm hdd i had in my laptop (which is the Star Wars edition hp). i also purchased thins in conjunction with a samsung 16gb ddr3 ram kit. which helps. definitely recommend this over getting a newer laptop.

this ssd drive is amazing boots super fast for being a ssd an not a m.2 or optane but u dont even need any faster then this can offer u best ssd buy u can find!

The 860 EVO is probably one of the best SSDs one can buy. Ive gone with the 2TB option. Performance is stellar, cloning is easy and capacity is fantastic. Samsungs Data Migration software will only clone the C: drive to another drive. I would expect better from the software, but using Macrium Reflects free version was good enough to get the job done. Samsung Magician software has been a fantastic addition to the software suite that Samsung provides with their SSDs and helps give me benchmarks on performance, life-cycle, and more. The 2.5inch bay SSD mount had all screws tightly sealed in small plastic ziplock bags and were taped over to ensure they were all there. I purchased two of these in a week and have been using them for both production and gaming over a week now. Performance is just fine, and unlike most other drives, the performance doesnt take a big hit when the SSD begins to fill up. In addition to the great performance, youll see better speeds in both read and write from the higher 3D-NAND drives like this one over the smaller capacity drives. Keep that in mind when buying.

Moms macbook lost another spindle drive, pin wheel of death, so I replaced it with this. Works great.

Seem to be a very good product and much faster than mechanical hard drive.

I have been buying the EVO series for years and none have ever let me down. Performance is 95% to the fastest, cost is almost the cheapest, quality is above ANY OTHER and (most of all) they are more compatible than anyone else. Samsung usually makes the best products for the money you spend and it is reflected in the EVO series of SSD drives.

Great storage bought for great savings over holidays. Great for media storage and faster than a spinner but this is NOT a fast access high performance drive.

Have plenty of storage now with a terabyte of storage. Use as the main drive for OS and the computer boots much faster and has better over specs now.

What is the best way to keep your PC running smoothly and quickly? Get this SSD. Nuff said.
