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

I changed my old computer HDD and it has a new life now with this SSD.

USB flash drives have been steadily increasing in price, and their reliability rankings have at the same time been steadily decreasing. Since the reviews on this drive were glistening, why not use it as a substitute? Well, at first it didnt work. I put the 500GB Samsung into a 2.5>3.5 holder Id purchased with it, and none of my computers would recognize it. Not XP, Vista, Win7, or even Linux. OK, it refuses to be a slave, so I removed the 2.5 drive from a laptop, replaced it with the new SS drive, and installed Win7. That didnt take much space, so the plan is to fill the rest of the drive with those archive files, then again switch drives. Since the old hard drive might someday fail, I decided to install some of my standard programs. Odd thing, but one of them which Ive used extensively on many other machines just would not install. Picky little bugger!

I’m using one of these drives as the boot disk for my 2011 iMac in an Akitio Thunder2 Quad. Speed is unparalleled with 30 second boot times, and every app launches near instantly. Biggest noticeable benefit is FAST access to my large Photos library of 30,000 images. Using my old HD it was between painful to unusable. Now the library loads in 30 seconds and interacting with it is a dream. It’s only been in use less than 2 weeks, so I can’t review longevity.

Installed this drive in a ten year old ASUS pc and it worked perfectly. Amazing performance boost. About the most bang for your buck you can get.

works perfectly with 15 second start up

Great and reliable and has been in my machine for over two years and running strong with consistent boot times

Funciona a la perfección y llevo usándolo un buen tiempo sin ningún problema.

I have an older laptop with a spinning disk HDD. It was very sluggish due to the slow storage medium. Now with this SSD installed, it is very snappy and things load much quicker. Highly recommend it for the price and capacity.

I bought this as a secondary SSD for my laptop which already had a small 256 GB boot SSD.
