Excellent speed with a short boot time

This was my first time buying an SSD drive (SSD 850 EVO 256 GB) and i can honestly say that it makes a world of difference when compared to my old and slow magnetic disk drive. My windows 10 OS boots in about 30 sec while with older disk it took about 5 min. My applications especially my malware and virus runs finish super quick w/o impacting performance while I multitask.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, easy installation
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung SSD 850 EVO
on September 16, 2015
Posted by: FloridaUser
Expertise:Expert
I did a lot of research before purchasing this drive. Industry leading 5 year warranty and 150TB Write were just 2 of the many pluses that I used for my purchase decision. You may wish to read the Tech Report: The SSD Endurance Experiment: They're all dead. Using the data cloning software that came with the drive was easy. After cloning the drive it booted without any issues. Using Samsung Magician is easy as well. I did have to turn on over provisioning but that was just a couple of clicks. I like the fact that I am able to boot and use windows in approximately 40 seconds vs the 3.5 to 4 minutes it was taking on my 7200RPM drive.
Pros: Lightweight, speed
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great drive, with great features at a great price.

The drive is great on its own, in capacity and speed. I have used many SSD's and I own many SSD's but Samsung compliments it already amazing SSD with the Magician Software.
You can benchmark, optimize, update the firmware, optimize the OS, security features and 1 amazing feature many dont think of. They offer over provisioning, which allows you to set aside portions of free space on the SSD for the controller to use to increase the lifespan of the drive and even performance, they thought of everything with this drive.
Pros: Inexpensive, inovative
I would recommend this to a friend!

DON'T USE SSD 850 EVO WITH WINDOWS 10
on August 25, 2015
Posted by: Graybeard1
from Macon, GA, USA
Expertise:Intermediate
This SSD will not work correctly with Windows 10. The all essential Samsung Magician software will not work with Windows 10. Samsung should provide correct software immediately or refund purchase price as well as compensate me for lost time.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Did not meet expectations, not win 10 compatible
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
