SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)

In conjunction with a OSX update from 10.6.8 to El Capitán, replacing the old HDD with this drive made my 5 year old MacBookPro perform like a brand new model (I could compare via a mid2015 MBP from a friend and boot times, opening apps such as PS, etc is equal to last years version. Im thrilled as the old setup was performing really badly in the last year. The only thing to take into account is to remember to allow TRIM through Terminal as it is not native to this drive version, it seems to be native to the PRO version.

Best Drive ever, for a windows 10 custom build. Rosewill Rise full tower, R480 video card, 8 cord processor, 32 gb ram, huge cpu cooler, and FPS 850 platinum series PSU, ASUS Formula Z mobo, Gaming Republic Series

This is an excellent product. Shipping was excellent. I will update this post if I find any issues with the product. I recommend this product and seller.

I wanted to also mention how well the Samsung Migration software (download the latest at Samsung website) works too. My Sony laptop has only one SATA port in use by the old mechanical drive so I had to temporarily use a USB to SATA docking station. Software had no trouble at all cloning the old 600GB disk with Windows7 64 bit and about 100GB of data on it over to the 500GB SSD. Took a while longer than expected so I just watched movie until it finished. My Sony Vaio laptop boots up so FAST now !!!!!!!!

I bought a EVO 850 500 GB for my Mac Book Pro Mid 2010 model. This was a Amazon Warehouse deal with a minor damage to the package.. Got it on time as i am prime customer. installation was pretty simple my 9 year old did the swap (hdd to SSD) after viewing few you tube videos. I had a time machine back up made it easy to restore the files. Before restoring the back up from my time machine for files, i did a clean install of El Capitan. Overall a nice buy and my boot timing improved more than 300%. I am planning to get a HDD Caddy and swap with my optical drive shortly..

This thing is fast. No ssd like it out there and comes with a long warranty. PC boots in 8 seconds and its big enough to have a few programs and games to take advantage of the speed.

My Mac Mini did not perform very well with the upgrade to El Capitan...slow and sluggish. I swapped out the original hard drive with the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB solid state hard drive. The change in performance is amazing. I had originally believed that I needed to buy a new computer, but with this HD swap, the life span of this little machine has been extended - at a fraction of the cost. I am totally happy with this purchase.

For some reason only Samsung knows why this drive is really picky about external enclosures. An internet search will reveal lots of people asking the question why cant my pc or mac see my samsung 850 evo? After failing to access this drive to format it on Windows, OS X and Linux in two different enclosures, I found a post that mentioned a firmware bug. Apparently these work fine when connected directly to a motherboard via a Sata connector or using a sata to USB adapter cable (amazon sells these) but not with whatever chipsets are in most USB enclosures. My old Xbox 360 hard drive USB transfer cable worked (unfortunately at USB 2.0 speeds) when nothing else would. I even returned my first 850 evo before I discovered this because I thought it was a dud. Samsung should include an adapter cable in the box if they are going to sell these crippled drives. In the meantime be sure to pick up a sata to USB adapter if you want to try your luck on swapping one these into your laptop. Youve been warned.

Purchased a new laptop that came with a 1T hard drive but a bit slow for my taste. Purchased this since I heard on some YouTube channels that the 3rd party software they use to clone hard drives my have issues with HP and other laptops. Aperantly Samsung uses its own software and they have no issues cloning on any namebrand laptops. I used a 2.5 SATA hard drive/SSD to USB 3.0 adaptor cable purchased on Amazon and cloned my drive. The cloning prices took about 15 min and the drive was ready to be installed.

Replaced my old HDD in Samsung laptop with this SSD - now laptop works faster than ever before! Delivery was fast, the drive is light and thin, works awesome. 5/5
