This is my fourth solid-state drive purchase and installation; All four have been different brands, all four have met my expectations, all four have provided tremendous performance boosts, and I am happy with all four. Before the purchase of the Samssung SSD 850 EVO, I would have thought all SSDs were about the same, and would have recommended that a person shop for the brand that offers the lowest price. After my purchase of the Samssung EVO, I can only recommend a person buy the Samsung EVO series of SSDs. The Samsung models are more expensive, but the cost difference is nominal, you receive more value for your money, you receive a much superior product that supports the price charged.
Upgrading your home or home office pc from a HDD to a SSD of any brand is an easy task resulting in noticeable and significant increases in performance, and speed. Solid State Drives are also significantly smaller and lighter than traditional hard drives, but the Ssamsung EVO is the smallest and lightest of the four I have purchased by quite a margin. While I installed it in a desktop pc where size and weight doesn't really play a role, the difference would be significant in a l;aptop. I am so impressed with the Samsung EVO model that I am purchasing another to replace a previously installed ssd in my laptop. The smaller size /lower weight benefit is not what sets the Samsung apart from all the others, however. It's the included software/driver that makes for easy cloning of the original drive, and post-installation, allows the drive to be fine-tuned for maximum performance and reliability. This process takes just a few minutes, is extremely easy and straight-forward, and is unique to Samsung when compared to the other brands I purchased. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of the Samsung SSD 850 EVO. I paid a little more-but just a little-and I received a superior product with software support the others lacked completely. Samsung EVO is the only SSD I can recommend;. Buy Samsung and Save your money and your time.

Good bang for the buck

Installing the SSD drive was easy once you had the adapter. Drive should come with it so you don't have to locate one. Great way to increase overall computer performance.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: no adapter for cloning

Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD
on July 18, 2015
Posted by: xspired

Expertise:Intermediate
This drive is very fast and the software worked great to clone my old Windows 7 drive to the new EVO drive. However I found it impossible to boot to my other Windows 8.1 partition on a separate drive. After removing the EVO drive and replacing it with an Intel SSD drive both Windows partitions were accessible again. I can only surmise that something in the Magician software was incompatible with other brand SSDs. The EVO is working flawlessly in a single drive laptop and has sped its boot time and hd access times noticeably. Overall a great drive but doesn't seem to play well with others.
Pros: very fast
Cons: compatibility
I would recommend this to a friend!

When I built this pc a couple of years ago I installed a 830 series Samsung drive as well as a 24 inch Samsung monitor. Both still run like champs, but I needed a bit more hard disk space.
So I added an 850 EVO series and could not be happier.
Both drives a fast and reliable.

I replaced my old hard drive with this and couldn't be happier. Easy to install but had to purchase a bracket to keep it secure in my desk top.
Pros: Lightweight

Bought this drive to replace my laptop's HDD which dragged down the performance by a huge factor. It boosted the speed by about 2x times. So far so good.. Less heating.. More battery time.. Faster boot up and overall speed of my laptop..
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
