I work in IT, I depend on speed, reliability as well as flexibility. No matter how many times my coworkers attempt to disprove me, they always fail, Anytime We are ordering Drives for a client, whether it be an upgrade, a replacement, or just a secondary drive, Samsung and their drives never fail. Speed, Check, Reliability, Check, Cost, Check. I hav ehelped to sell hundreds to our clients and for several years, I have had more failures with other SSD's than with samsung's. In fasct the only Samsung SSD I have ever had fail me, was one that got ran over, sadly, we could not repair. LOL!
I've been wanting to upgrade the speed my PC for a while now, doing a substantial amount of research until I finally ran across this amazing device. I had read that SSD's are incredibly fast compared to a regular hard drive, but I had no idea it would make this big of a difference! Naturally I'm a Samsung fan, so I thought I'd give this a shot. I own an ASUS K52F laptop which is about 5 years old, and since upgrading to this SSD, it now runs like a brand new laptop. I am blown away by the results of upgrading. I would recommend this to anyone that wants a faster PC but doesn't want to dish out all the money of a brand new one. I will be upgrading my RAM as well, and hope that these upgrades will keep me running for a few more years. The price tag of this SSD is a little high, but it is definitely worth it, trust me! Hope this helps anyone that isn't sure about purchasing one.
SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 500GB This SSD is so fast and with the software it came with I was able to clone my old drive and boot with this new drive. they made it so easy. I had a Intel SSD 520 but this Samsung is even faster.
Blazingly fast! I highly recommend this to anyone that wants more speed from their computer. Only drawback I can see is the 2.5-inch size needs a 3.5-inch adapter for desktop installation.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: need 3.5-inch so i don't have to buy adapter.
