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

Single most important upgrade/component in todays computers. Very few people know that while the CPU carries the load of transferring information, the hard drive and its read/write speed are more critical to how responsive your computer behaves. Traditional platter hard drives (on the edge becoming extinct as SSDs become cheaper) are more prone to failure because of mechanical parts, and are slower because that platter has to spin up and locate the information needed on a timely basis. SSDs are exceptionally quicker due to information is scattered across the whole drive and higher throughput with SATA 6 gb/s. This is the best possible upgrade you can buy for an older computer or a brand new one. I replaced a 5400 rpm drive in a friends 6 year old laptop with one of these and now it performs almost as fast as new. Boot time was over 2 minutes before it was usable and now its less than a minute from power on through opening MS office.

Hard to beat. Coupled with a Core i5 6600, and 16GB ram, I get a 10-second boot time for Windows 10. Not counting the initial BIOS screen from the Mobo software.

Yeh, sort of expensive but nice! I run this in a Lenovo Thinkpad T520 I7 ( also very nice ) and together they make my desktop computers seem really slow. Plenty large enough for even a dual boot Linux and winsnooze system because I keep most of my files on a NAS.

I had a Crucial MX300 for a few weeks, but I wasnt happy with the performance. I swapped for the 850 EVO 250GB and I am pleased. Im getting better speeds and responsivness from my Mac. Would recommend this SSD.

As expected.

I regret not buying a larger SSD but as far as performance is concerned... it is awesome. I would have never guessed how much of a difference this would make in my (several years old) laptop.

About 500x faster than my Toshiba 5400 hdd in my asus g750jm labtop with 4Gb of stock hynix 1600mhz ram (in the process of upgrading to 16GB of Ripjaws SO-DIMM 2133mhz ram)

Lightning fast and the program that comes with it allowing you to clone your old hard drive is great. One thing that you will need is a USB adapter to SATA adapter so you can connect the EVO to your computer when cloning.

Gave my laptop an amazing boost, now i just hibernate my laptop and just power it up like that and its on and fully working under 7 seconds, just amazing. Save me battery and no more hard drive spinning noise, the SSD itself is so light. What can I say except it was worth the price for what its worth. Read positive reviews and I was convince and it met the expectations. Used it for a Macbook pro 13 early 2010.

Took an old computed and made it new. Simple to install and lightning fast. I love it.
