If you don't already have an SSD in your computer, chances are good you will get a significant performance increase by upgrading to one. I used the previous model in a smaller capacity as a boot drive for my home computer and recently purchased this model for my business computer. I buy Samsung for the reliability, quality, and speed. The value is good when compared to other SSDs, but I wish the price could drop more to be more competitive with mechanical HDDs.
I have been in IT since the 1970's. This drive adds a whole new dimension of speed, size and reliability to drive products. I just put this in my laptop and it has made a world of difference. Applications snap to the screen and internet browsing is not a new discovery in torture. I highly recommend this SSD.
After installing this ssd drive and using the enclosed cloning software. My booting time went from 1min 57 sec. to 19sec. amazing. All of my programs are running much faster.. No more noisy HDD. I love it. The warranty of 5 years is also great.
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive, Lightweight, super fast

Replaced slow HDD sata3 with new Samsung Evo850, performance boot up quick with windows 10, I am pleased with this SSD. I used included software, easy transfer data from old HDD to new SSD, I am not a pro just a normal PC internet surfing daily.
