Great SSD

I bought the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB drive to replace the Samsung 128 GB 840 PRO that I originally chose when I had my laptop custom configured a year and a half ago. That one had worked great, but was getting full. It was a very easy swap. The Data Migration went flawlessly. I made an image of the original and saved it to my external drive just in case. The Magician software is great as well.
This is my 3rd Samsung SSD EVO drive in addition to the PRO. I just put one in my wife's laptop in a 2nd bay and moved OS to it. That also went flawless.
I also took the 840 PRO that this 850 EVO replaced, and putt it into an 8 year old laptop. Also easy to do, with the only trouble was having to find a spacer as it went into a side slot that held a 9mm HDD. I was able to find one for a couple of dollars. I would like to see Samsung offer a spacer for this purpose.
I know have the Samsung SSD in all 3 laptops, plus my desktop. I will recommend them to anyone.
Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use software
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Slim black color design as expected from Samsung I'll recommend to buy it great value for money

Best Add-on Purchase I Have Ever Made!
on December 14, 2015

I just purchased a new PC and found that total boot time was too long (about 2 minutes). I picked up two of the 850's (configured as RAID 1 in my PC) and within 2 hours I have my PC up and running again but with one big difference. That two minute boot time was knocked down to 15 seconds.
I highly recommend picking up one of these SSD's for your PC.
You will see a huge difference!
Louis.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, easily installed

Great upgrade from original HDD
on December 13, 2015
Posted by: TechSr

Expertise:Intermediate
Drop in replacement for classic 7mm mechanical disk drive that improves performance of even an older laptop. Boot times now less than a minute and switching between apps smooth and fast. Performance would have been even better if AHCI functionality available. Cloning of active partition smooth once version 3 of software downloaded. A checklist of pre clone and after install actions would be helpful (i.e. remove unused programs, clean register, defrag multiple times, then after install; enable TRIM, turn off scheduled defrag, download and install Samsung Magician...)
At the first sign of problems with HDD in other laptops, I'll buy and install another Samsung 850 EVO.

This SSD made a huge difference in the speed of my system. Now that processors and memory have gotten so fast, the bottleneck in a system is the storage system, and this product cures that issue.
Pros: Inexpensive
