Wonderfull Upgrade
on October 9, 2016

Expertise:Expert
I recently lost a primary hard drive in my development computer. This gave me the opportunity to research much better solid state drive (SSD). After researching the 850 series is reviewed as the most dependable SSD there is, which is much higher in value than pure benchmark numbers.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, fast, price to gb
Cons: no mounting brackets
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am blown away by this drive. Windows boots in about three seconds. Apps load instantaneously. I don't know how I lived without it.
Pros: fast, so fast

Fast but unreliable

I have had this drive for almost one year. Since day one this drive has been a little "flakey", occasionally not starting up. My laptop would give an error saying no boot device present. (No hard drive found!) Power cycling would bring it back.
Now these start up failures are becoming more frequent and have probably reached the 50/50 point, and trending towards total failure.
I am going to RMA it before it fails to start up at all.
Sorry to say I will not ever really trust the replacement as I really do not use my laptop that often and I doubt even one terabyte of data has actually been transferred on and off this drive.
I do not recommend buying these drives or any in the EVO series as they all probably suffer the same reliability issue.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

New Drive Choice

This was a great choice for a boot drive instead of mechanical. Its fast, quiet and does what I want a drive to do. I use the mechanical for storage. Great job Samsung.
I would recommend this to a friend!
