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

I have done a lot of drive installs over the 30 years I have been involved with PCs. This install was into an older Sony Vaio that I use to examine new viruses. I typically troll suspected sites with a sand-boxed Firefox browser within a virtual operating system environment.

Easy to I stall

Well priced and increases performance (boot time especially). If you dont need a huge drive, this is perfect. If you do need a lot of storage, I reco to use this as the system drive and add a 2nd spinning disk for storage.

I installed this drive on my 2011 MacBook Pro after a friend did this same thing on his old Mac. It dramatically increased the speed on my computer and it really is like a new machine. Not to mention doubling the size from my old drive. I no longer need to carry around three external drives with my files spread out amongst them anymore. The installation was easy (had to go to Autozone to get the special Torx screw driver), and only took a few minutes to complete. There are plenty of guides online that explain how to do it step by step.

Easy to install, Samsung site has all the software you need to migrate from your old drive to this new drive. They also have a really nice tuning software (all free) for the drive. Drive can actually be made slightly faster if you use the software, many videos on You Tube. Good warranty.

My main drive is a Samsung 970 EVO NVME SSD but I wanted the extra SSD as a storage and backup drive. Dont even consider using a mechanical drive anymore. These SSD drive out performs them in every way, with much longer life. If you want to make your computer faster, replacing your mechanical drive with one of these SSD drives and it will make you computer perform about five times faster and boot times will be reduced significantly also. The lower prices now make using these SSDs a no brainer.

Incredible. Exactly what my 8 year old laptop needed to operate significantly faster and better.

My computer running so slow. It is Intel i7 with 4G RAM. It should be powerful enough for my office works. But, it always locked me down with disk running on 80% to 100% most of the time. Swap it with SSD and everything runs smooth and fast. The disk loading is less than 10% most of the time with same applications. This is my best investment for work efficiency. Bought the second disk for my other laptop.

I have a Dell computer that came with an SSHD. It was terrible; in fact it was the worst SATA drive that I can recall since the pre-SATA days. I have been waiting to find a good 1Tb drive for a while and I saw this come on sale. While the Samsung was more expensive, I wanted to give it a try to two reasons: 1) Samsung is a good brand and makes solid solid state memory/drives, and 2) Samsung has a tool to make it easy to copy an old hard drive to a new SSD seamlessly.
