Fast SSD

850 EVO is faster than most SSDs on benchmarks. 4K read and 4K write is what you want to look for in SSD performances. Uses V-NAND technology.
Pros: fast
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fast ! FAST ! FAST ! and Great Software ! !

I installed a 250GB as a boot drive in my laptop. I thought it would make it boot a little faster since the hdd was the slowest component on my i7 laptop. I was so surprised with how much difference it made ! It boots in a few seconds , and it is definitely noticeable in just about every thing I do ! It wasn't slow befor but now its like a new gaming computer ! The software makes a huge difference as well. It not only helps migrate from my old hdd, it optimizes the computer after the move and doubles the performance yet again ! I didn't realize how beneficial the migration software was until I installed a cheaper brand ssd in my Moms computer it took much longer with a faster result (with ssd vs hdd) but not nearly as much of a difference as the Samsung SSD. I saved some money up front but it took me so much longer and a disappointing result I would have been happier buying a smaller Samsung ssd with the great software ! I'm still messing around with my Moms computer trying to get it close to my computer with the Samsung ssd ! Save yourself a headache and save up a little more and get the Samsung or just go with one size down and put your big files on your second drive. You can't go wrong with Samsung. They didn't pay me to say any of this. :)
Pros: fast, easy

Samsung's line of SSD's is top notch. I have three 850 Pro SSD and two 850 Evo. From their boot times to loading applications from my laptop to the desktop is all top speed. My benchmark results were in line with the posted numbers that Samsung advertises. Highly recommend to anyone looking to buy Samsung's SSDs.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight

I chose the 850 EVO after careful comparison shopping online. It performs to all specs and was easy to install. I find it amusing that Samsung and its competitors give the SSD product a nicely designed appearance even though after installation most of us will never see it again.
Pros: Inexpensive

i have used adata, pny, ocz, silicon power, etc. solid state drives and they all perform well and at almost at the same speed. but when i used an evo 850 samsung, i was astonished how fast it ran. almost double the speed of the competition. on a gigabyte brix, its an amd 2.1ghz and even boots faster than my intel i7 4790k devils canyon overclocked to 4.5ghz so i had to get one now its on my rig and running as usual......fast and furious.
Pros: very fast

Smart and budget friendly choice.

I bought this SSD for my MacBook Pro when the computer started to slow down. Once everything was up and running with this drive, I was extremely please. I honestly believe my laptop was performing better than it was brand new out the box. The warranty is also amazing. After sometime I was experiencing some issues and sent the SSD in for warranty at zero cost to me. Within a week or two Samsung mailed me a replacement overnight. The warranty filing process wasn't too difficult. It requires a little waiting, but if you have all the required documents and are patient, you'll have a great experience.
Pros: Inexpensive
