Great upgrade for Alienware 15 R3 Gaming Laptop
on March 2, 2018
Posted by: Loverboy58
from Brooklyn, New York
Expertise:Expert
I purchased this SSD to upgrade the mechanical 7200 RPM hard drive that came with my laptop and I couldn't be happier. I have a NVMe 512GB PCIe SSD (Boot) and 2TB EVO 850 SSD (Storage). As soon as I installed the EVO 850 2TB SSD my laptop had more than enough space to install all the game and software that I have. With no hassles cloning the original drive. Now I have more options when it comes to installing new games and software.
Pros: Durable, a bit expensive
Cons: none so far
I would recommend this to a friend!

2011 Macbook Pro Upgrade
on February 23, 2018
Posted by: TheKevlarKid
from Indianapolis, IN, USA
Expertise:Intermediate
I purchased this SSD as an upgrade for my Late-2011 Unibody Macbook Pro i5.
- Installation: Hardware installation was a breeze, taking about 20 minutes of time. Software installation was also a breeze using Time Machine and my external drive, utilizing my Firewire 800 port. Software installation took about 2.5 hours.
- Functionality: Overall the function of this drive when used in my older intel-based mac is phenomenal. The boot up time is significantly reduced, as is the application and document(s) load time.
-Overall: Overall, I would highly recommend this drive to anyone looking to upgrade their Macbook.
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, easy installation, warranty coverage, read/write speeds
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

5 years warranty is what I like

I've got probably 10 of them (in different sizes from 120 Gb - 1Tb; 840 & 850) around a house as OS, Storage, NAS or attached to nVidia Shield. All of them work :-)
I would recommend this to a friend!

After installing my operating system Win 7, the boot up speed went from 3-4 min to now to about 1 min or less, No more waiting around until the system boots up. Great product.
Pros: Lightweight, small foot print, little bigger than credit card
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worked great - but does not last.
on November 20, 2017
Posted by: CobraA1
Expertise:Expert
When it was working, it worked great - if only it had lasted. It failed in under a year. The 3-bit cells used in these devices simply do not have the reliability needed. I'm trying a 2-bit cell device now.
Pros: Inexpensive, fast
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fast sata drive that is huge
on October 25, 2017
Posted by: Anonymous
from Las Vegas
Expertise:Expert
This drive is huge. It fits in these new, thin laptops. It is sata based which makes it fast and compatible with just about all motherboards out there. What I like most about Samsung drives they come packaged with their "Magician" software to transfer your data, programs and even the operating system. Very nice. This alone has made me continue to use Samsung programs. Oh, this drive is warranted for 5 years - very nice.
Pros: huge fast
Cons: cost but worth the money
I would recommend this to a friend!
