SAMSUNG SSD 870 EVO, 2 TB, Form Factor 2.5”, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black

Decently fast. Works great with Linuxmint. Linuxmint has trim enabled by default. There are some others things to do to help make the drive last longer. Search for easylinuxtipsproject for more info.

The drive is labeled as Samsung, (as advertised) but Windows reports it to be a JMicron Tech drive. Also, I did not see the advertised Magician 6 anywhere. If it was on the drive, it would be useless since the drive installation process required me to initialize it.

This item is better than I thought. My computer boots up so quick

Their drives seem to be dependable.

I had high hopes for this drive, having had an earlier one in 1TB. This one made it just over a year before failing spectacularly and causing me no end of grief. My first one is still humming along after three years, though now in a less critical role than it was originally. My assumption is that the newer one just had a glitch and died in its youth. Considering what it cost, and that I am left holding the bag, I am not particularly happy. I tried the Samsung site to see if there was a refurb/recover or goodwill replace remedy, but didnt see one. Lotta sales pitches there, a labyrinth of rabbit holes. Very disappointing.

The SSD drive was easy to install and configure. Do not forget that a adapter bracket may be needed to install in desktop bays.

This is an excellent drive. I have never had a problem with Samsung. However, it is pricey on Amazon. Is cheaper at the Samsung website, and even cheaper (about $350 at Newegg.

Samsung is the best brand for ssd. Recommended product and seller !!
