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
I would recommend this to a friend!

I replaced a WD Black Hard Drive with this and the boot times and speed increase was phenomenal. You will love this drive. Easy to migrate too.
Pros: easy to install and migrate

Samsung's reputation lives up to its Name

I reviewed all types of SSDs and found out Samsung always got great reviews. I built a new computer with Windows 7 (I was a XP holdout)
As I was reviewing newer computer builds everybody said use a SSD as a boot drive and have a HHD as secondary drive. I purchased a EVO 250 SSD it installed w/ no problems. The SSD boots so fast !!!
My new Motherboard has a M.2 Slot.... so I wanted to see how that type of drive works/runs so I also got a Samsung EVO 250 M.2, that installed with no problem. I was a little worried about the M.2 because I tried to find out what type the M.2 was and the Samsung website does not really say if the M.2 is SSD or PCIe. THAT HAD ME WORRIED. The store Salesman said it would work but he did not know for sure, so I toke the chance with the M.2, in the end everything worked out for the good. Both drives work very well.

First time using a SSD!

What a difference. My old platter drive started to act funny so I decided to get a new drive and install win8.1 pro 64bit. The sales rep told me to try a SSD so I did and the speed difference is night and day compared to a platter/spin drive.
Pros: low energy use...., less heat created
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

Best Add-on Purchase I Have Ever Made!

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
