Holy moly it's fast

I was hesitant about spending money to upgrade a perfectly fine HDD but am very glad I did. My DV7 notebook boots up in about a quarter of the time it used to take. WOW! Well worth the money to me.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a tad more expensive than most SSD's in this range but it is well worth it. Samsung's software is also easy to use and lightweight.
Pros: Durable, fast, warranty
Cons: tad expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!

SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 250GB
on April 30, 2016
Posted by: JNDR
from Hawaii, USA
Cheap. Bought this SSD to replace regular HDD boot drive. My computer now boots much faster.
However:
Using the cloning software that came with this SSD is not recommended unless you want to give Samsung access to your computer. I used the free back-up and cloning software for users that also have a WD HDD.
This SSD failed once after a couple of weeks and had to go through the cloning and re-installation process all over again.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, not recommend using cloning software
I would recommend this to a friend!

SDD greatly improved the performance of my laptop. Better than when new. Starts much faster and all Apps run much faster also. Could not have asked for better improvement. I have purchased two and recommended to my friends.
Pros: Durable, super fast performance, no mechanical parts to break or slow down
I would recommend this to a friend!

Affordable solid-state terabytes

After considerable shopping, I installed one of these in my wife's MacBook Pro about a year ago, solving the problem of a sluggish, overcrowded 320GB hard drive. Having found it fast and reliable, I put another in my Mac Mini in January; performance of both has been great, and the five-year warranty makes me confident it'll continue.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, good warranty
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
