RAPID makes this drive more than phenomenal

The EVO is already one of the best SSDs on the market. With RAPID enabled, performance virtually doubles in most fields, making the drive even faster. From pushing the power button on my computer to logging in is only about ten seconds. Fantastic product!

Great Value, Great first SSD experience, need some bios/OS fiddling, does not update firmware
on May 19, 2014
Posted by: stringplay
As a first SSD the speed is definitely noticeable. I cannot work on any OS without a SSD OS bootup. Very reliable. However it does require some google searching to know how to change to AHCI mode . You cannot rely on SSD magician that comes along with the SSD to do it for you. I do believe it is some what of a habit to get into since I suspect most SSDs will require this. The only problem I have ever had with this SSD is that it refuses to update firmware whether it is as a boot hard drive or a storage hard drive. 5 Year warranty and the number of cycles before failure is probably the best feature to a consumer.
Pros: Lightweight, reliable, speed
Cons: firmware update
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid State Drive
on May 20, 2014

My computer has sped-up significantly ever since I installed the SSD on my PC. I formerly had only a 1 Terabyte 7200RPM Hardrive installed and my PC was tremendously slow in comparison to how my system now operates. I am completely satisfied with the product and I would recommend it to others endeavoring to improve the speed of processing data. I use my PC to monitor my stocks daily on the TDAmeritrade website and the SSD significantly improved the speed of displaying graphs and pertinent data on my screen. Thanks to the SSD, I can now process stock data quickly in order to make quick decisions when necessary.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to install
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super fast SSD
on May 29, 2014

The drive totally made my desktop computer run better than new. The only thing that was a disappointment was the installation disc. Completely useless. Downloaded Acronis cloning software to clone my drive in minutes. Also instructions were lacking at best. 3rd grade pictures were used instead of proper wording. Very disappointing for Samsung.
Pros: super fast
Cons: bad software, poor instructions
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smokin' Fast!

I have been running an M4 Crucial CT256GB SSD as my primary drive on an Intel 2600k system with 16 GB PC1600 DDR3 RAM, an EVGA GeForce GTX 660Ti 2GB GPU, 3 SSDs and two 3TB SATA HDD in Raid 0. I thought it was pretty fast at on OC of 4.47 GHz.
I replaced my M4 CT256 Gb with the Samsung EVO 840 250 GB SSD and it is so much faster when running Adobe Illustrator and large projects and transferring large files from one SSD to another I am just amazed. Quite the unexpected speed bump :0)
Just, WOW, does not really cover it.
But, WOW.
WOW!
But, WOW.
WOW!
Added bonus is the Samsung Magician Software bundle. Just totally a cut above the rest.
Pros: Inexpensive, super fast great software
I would recommend this to a friend!
