I put one in my laptop and desktop.

I put one in my 11" Asus 1gig dual core processor laptop that only has a 2gb memory that wasn't upgradable because they are soldered into the motherboard. It made a big difference. It boots up so much faster and runs so much better I could hardly believe my eyes. And the battery last much longer. So I thought I would put one in my dell core i5 with 8 gig memory desktop. That computer was fast to begin with but it's smoking fast now.
Pros: very fast.
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Incredible boost in performance

This is my first SSD. The speed increase going from a HDD to this SSD is simply amazing. My OS now loads literally in seconds. The included software (Migration and Magician) made for an incredibly smooth transition as well. Magician is great for getting the most out of the drive. I could not be happier with my purchase.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, speed
I would recommend this to a friend!

It truly delivers the highest performance at an affordable price !

I have read so many reviews regarding Samsung's class leading performance, so many reviews that I wondered if it was just everyone piling on the bandwagon, and not actual real world results. I say this due to so many people who love to run benchmark's over and over again, constantly tweaking their setups until until they reach some rarefied, unrepeatable number. A number that bears little resemblance to consistent, day to day performance. After Samsung released the new 850 series, at an even lower price then the highly regarded 840 series, I was even more hesitant that the "NEW" version could deliver the same high level of performance . I'm happy to report that id truly does deliver the performance, and at a bargain price !
My original SSD purchase was just a few months back (9-23-2014) from a highly regarded memory maker. It is a good performing SSD, and was roughly 20% less in price then the 840 series at that time. The trade off being that it didn't match the 840's performance, and I had to settle for that lesser performance to save a few bucks. Unfortunately, the zippy performance began to slow down a bit. Still decent, but even less then what I had originally bargained for. ENTER the 850 EVO ! The same class leading performance, but at an even lower price then before ! So low that I paid even less for the 850 EVO, then I paid for my earlier SSD ! After spending some time with the new 850 EVO, I can say that I have never before experienced the speed and convenience that SAMSUNG has delivered. Real world performance that matches the promised speeds, and with the MAGICIAN software, a simple and easy to understand user's guide that makes it so effortless to achieve the best possible performance. Setup was even easier then before with SAMSUNG's DATA MIGRATION Software . My earlier SSD setup used the ACRONIS software which worked well enough. But the Samsung DATA Migration software was even easier to use, and I was up and running in no time at all !
All in all, I'm happy to say that all of the buzz surrounding SAMSUNG SSD's is deserved. They truly deliver the best performance and at a bargain price to boot ! Couple that with the included SAMSUNG software, and you have an unbeatable combination !
Pros: Inexpensive, top performance for less ...
I would recommend this to a friend!
