SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM)

This was my first purchase of a SSD. (850 EVO 250gb) I was super thrilled about getting one. Once received I connected it up via the instructions and everything went okay. Migrated OS over and then restarted and it failed to find the device. I powered down my computer and it found it and started up, figured it was apart of the process so I did not think much about it. Everything was going good for around 3 or 4 days then it start randomly freezing up and then crashing completely. Upon restart it failed to find the drive again, I thought maybe this is a bad cable so I ordered a brand new one and reconnected, again everything was fine and it did it again. Defective product has to be the problem so I contacted Amazon and they quickly replaced it. 2 day shipping. Connected that new drive, and this time I went ahead and did a brand new install of windows 8.1. Same problem in a day or 2 of light use. I thought that maybe it did not like windows 8.1, so I went ahead and did a secure erase with the provided software and got it back to factory condition. I went in the closet and got my windows 7 installation cd. Installed it everything went well so I figured windows 8 was the problem. Wrong, after about 2 weeks of light use the same problem occurred. Mind you this was on the replaced SSD. There has to be something wrong with the firmware or design or something. I was completely disappointed with the product. This left a bad taste in my mouth with Samsung SSDs. Hopefully they can track down the problem and get it all corrected. Until then I will be staying far away from this device. I went ahead and got a Crucial MX200 250gb, maybe I will have better luck with this one. I really like Samsung products but this one was just a complete fail with me. While this will not stop me from buying their products in the future, I will make sure to wait and see what the reviews are before I get anything else in the same lineup.

the best upgrade for your computer is an SSD. the EVO 850 is considered one of the best. After a few years of use, this hard drive is going strong. Super fast super cool super quiet. the 250 GB model is a little small for todays data use. If you want to run a PC with one of these you should get bigger.

Item arrived as described at schedule. Works great for my Lenovo Ideapad Z560 laptop. Very easy to migrate the data to the SSD using the software that it comes. And very easy to install. All set without any issues. The programs, boot, shutdown all of this very fast, remember to enable Rapid mode in the Magician software. Very happy with this SSD.

Used this to create a virtual machine and it works great!!

Best SSD for the price. Would buy again. Oh wait! I already bought again.

I was very pleased with this SSD. Everything I thought it would be.

Got this to put into my laptop after I had the original hard drive fail. It runs great and is much faster than the old hard drive (as it should be since this one is a SSD and the other wasnt). It was easy to put in, and installed a new seat of windows easily. Upgrading to a SSD is a great way to bring back a semi-old laptop/desktop.

Why didnt I do this before? I edit video, and my home made computer is pretty powerful. I built it with some great Caviar Black hard drives, and its served me well for more than six or seven years. But I had a blue screen of death the other day, and it scared me. I ran all the diagnostics and couldnt find anything wrong,. but I figured a well used, 6 year old hard drive was getting on, so I plumped for an SSD to replace it. What a breeze it was, putting this thing in! Very easy to install and clone my C drive. It was all installed, up and running within an hour. And blazing fast now. My windows index has gone from a fairly healthy 5.9 to a very healthy 7.1. It boots much quicker, and pages load much, much faster. Can wait to see how much quicker video renders. I just wish Id done this a couple of years ago...

I like it, I like it a lot!

Nice upgrade and allows your computer to run faster. Easy to set up and install.
