Great option for Business Use

This drive is pricier than my favorite personal drive, the Crucial m500, but I use the EVO 840 for any serious business use. It utilizes SSD features and protections that the m500 doesn't. Plus, you get an extra 40GB over most SSD's which are 960GB. Highly recommended.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, silent, fast
Cons: pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

Reliable and Fast

I've been using the Samsung 1TB SSD for about 4 months. For most of my work, I have seen a significant performance increase. Occasionally, I experience performance that appears slower than my 1 TB hard drive -- especially on a large volume of random reads. I also lost the ability to put my laptop to sleep and/or hibernate with the SSD. I'm not sure why I ran into this problem. All I know is after I installed the SSD, sleep/hibernate worked for about a month but has since stopped working. It tries to start-up after sleep/hibernate but then hangs so I have to reboot.
Overall, I am satisfied with the unit since I do believe it has made me more productive, reducing the amount of time I was waiting on the hard drive.

Pros: performance boost, quiet
Cons: not as fast as i expected in some situations.

This is my first SSD, and i figured I'd notice an improvement. Wow! I am blown away! I've only had it for a short time, so I can't speak to how hardy the unit might be, but it is surely the best thing I've done for my computer! It was easy to install, moving my OS and programs, etc. from the old drive was practically effortless with the included software. It's a bit pricy, but i would surely buy another given half a chance.

My first SSD - incorporated it into a new build - Have used WD VRaptors for years and really like the speed and reliability of them...................However, I'm still in "shock & awe" with the performance of this SSD.
Very easy to install - good instructions and great software.

Best SSD for the price per GB
on October 16, 2013
Posted by: Anonymous
It's fast, it's 1TB so I can put all my games and software on one dry, which is convenient. I was getting tired of having to divide everything over multiple drives and this drive solves that issue. I couldn't be happier with this drive, great price, and from what I can see RAPID mode is great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have been using this big bad boy for about 1.5 weeks and it is the fastest drive I have used. Everything is fast: bootup, opening files, opening programs, etc. Would recommend it more if it wasn't so expensive!!
Pros: fast, large capacity
Cons: very expensive
