Made the world of difference in booting up my PC

I have an older PC that would take a very long time to boot up Windows 10. Once I copied my boot drive onto my SSD it now boots in about 43 seconds. I am very happy with the results, when I do move on to another PC, I will migrate my SSD to that one to continue it's performance enhancements.
Pros: Inexpensive, sped up my boot time
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great SSD

Samsung SSD have always been my favorite. They are reliable and fast compare to other company's. This particular one isn't their fastest SSD, but it does more than quick enough for my daily use. I do not have a bench mark result or anything, but in real time personal use I've never had a problem with speed. It boots up really fast from sleep and from off. Great value for the price.
Also to note, when I purchased this the prices were lot higher. Now SSD's have came a long way on price so definitely worth upgrade to PRO. This reviews reflects from my purchase couple years ago to how it's still holding up.
Pros: Lightweight, fast
Cons: pricy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very fast

This product is everything that I read about. Speed of startup is worth it price along with the storage capacity,500 GB. I hate to say this but I could only get part of the installation to work. This was the. the Samsung Magician installed and worked as stated when the SSD was installed and restarted my laptop. After a lot of trial and error I got it to copy my old hard drive. This was the only problem that I got. I would recommend this SSD to anybody.

Great Drive + 5 Year Warranty!

A month ago I purchased the EVO 850 mSATA variant and was so impressed, I decided to upgrade my Corsair Force GS 240GB SSD with this item. Well, I am so glad I did. Not only am I getting a larger SSD (500GB vs 240GB), but one blazing fast SSD and totally a reliable one as well. Now granted I never had any issues with my Corsair, but it just makes a system work better when like products are used alongside one another, and that is what I have experienced with my Samsung drives. The unit arrived in the retail packaging and was a joy to behold. So, am I happy? Very much so, and did I mention the 5 YEAR warranty? YES, 5 years! When I was looking to upgrade my Corsair, I looked at ALL of the top SSD drives, but this one had the BEST warranty! So, I now have 2 Samsung drives (mSATA & SSD) and both have a 5 year warranty. The only other drive I considered was the "PRO" version of this drive, with a "10" Year warranty!! But, after fully reviewing the Pro version against this version, I found them to be almost identical, except for the warranty. So with that said, I couldn't justify the increased cost of the PRO version. So, unless you need a "10" year warranty, this item will serve you perfectly! One happy camper!!!!!
Pros: Inexpensive, warranty, reputation, performance, ssd, ratings, reviews
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Need clearer Instructions
on June 6, 2017
Posted by: kimam

Expertise:Intermediate
The instructions require the SSD to be installed externally before installation internally. The connection cable was not included. Not having the cable, I could not do that. After installation, the drive needed to be initialized and formatted. The instructions said nothing about that. I do not know how well the drive functions, yet, but instructions need to be upgraded.
Pros: Lightweight
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
