Worthy upgrade

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is an easy upgrade and worth the money. It does improve boot time significantly and overall the system is noticeably faster. You don't need to be a techy or delve into benchmarks to be impressed with this SSD. The Samsung SSDs are highly rated in performance and reliability. I used the Samsung software to clone the old hard drive with no problems. I then used the Magician software to tweak the SSD settings for best performance. Note: You should download the latest version of these programs from the Samsung website instead of using any included CD software. Example: I first used the CD version and the Magician program could not detect my OS. The downloaded version fixed that and I was then able to activate RAPID mode. I was so pleased with the performance boost that I bought another for my wife's laptop. These SATA connected SSDs are not the pinnacle of speedy storage as there are newer technologies; PCI-e SSDs and M.2 cards that overcome the old SATA speed barrier, but you will likely need a newer motherboard to take advantage of them and they can be much more costly. So for now I'm happy.

Additional items needed for replacing laptop HD?

Does this require additional cables or software to power up and mirror your laptop HDD onto the new HD for upgrading your laptop? Some of the questions/reviews say these are needed and not included.
The migration software and Samsung Magician software is included so no worries there. You will need to get a USB to SATA Adapter cable for the cloning process. Those run about 10 dollars.
