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

When it was working, my computer was super fast at boot up (15-20 seconds on Windows 7), but after a year of use as my startup drive, it was failing, freezing with a blue screen and losing data. I sent it back to Samsung for warranty repair and all they did was a firmware update to it and sent it back. I am weary of reinstalling it since I lost my internet shortcuts even after I copied them to a backup drive upon reinstall of the OS (and I had 100s of links for my car restoration project that are lost). Frustrating how these solid state drives in a non-shaking environment still dont hold up as expected or as good as a standard rotating disk drive.

Ehhh its a cable.

like the faster loading and operating

Thanks, works perfect.

My win 7 box now boots up lightning fast, and this is with a bunch of stuff loading during boot up.

Though the tray and the USB-to-SATA connector are sold separately, Ive found that you dont really need either of them. The cloning process was super straightforward and I had no difficulties migrating over to it as a primary drive.

Motherboard recognized it no problem and no configuration. Installed Windows 10 Pro on it and it boots from a cold start in about 5-7 seconds. Software launches very quick off of it. It really improves the whole user experience by making everything you have running off of it launch super quick. I have a Crucial SSD in my laptop, but chose the Samsung 850 for my gaming rig because they have the fastest read/write speeds (at least on paper) and some of the best reviews in regard to longevity and performance. Im very happy with this drive and will only report back on this review if I run into any problems. Thinking of getting a second one to dual boot OSs from.

Great quality, came quickly!

Best ssd on the market... for the price

Fantastic speed. Makes everything so fast. Highly recommend.
