SAMSUNG 860 EVO MZ-76E500E 500 GB Solid State Drive - SATA (SATA/600) - 2.5 Drive - Internal - 550 MB/s Maximum Read Transfer Rate - 520 MB/s Maximum Write Transfer Rate - 256-bit Encryption Standard

It was easy to install. When I remove the old one, i compare it with the old one and it was the exact same size

I used it to replace my laptops Hard Drive. After the replacement, the laptop now works much faster, like magic.

Great upgrade over the original SATA drive. It was super-easy to install, and makes the computer run so much better. Recommend!

When it comes to computer mods, Im a Samsung brand whore. All of my computers the past 3 years have been upgraded to Samsung SSDs. I used a Evo 860 500gb slave in an older laptop with an mSATA Evo 850 as the primary boot drive along with 16GB memory. I also had an Evo 860 250GB as a boot drive in an older Dell tower with a 2TB HGST drive as a slave and 32GB memory. And yet another Dell with an Evo 860 250 with 8GB memory. No failures. No issues. Great speed and performance. Im now building a new tower and will be using either one of my old EVO 860s or a newer 960 M.2 drive. Samsung is all I will ever use when it comes to boot drives, plain and simple.

I recently received this product on the mail and immediately noticed something very odd. Unlike the previous one I bought a year ago, this one came packed in a plain white box. It did not come in a fancy branded marketing box, the glossy type with the picture and the description of the product on the outside. So now I am wondering if this Mickey Mouse type of box (plain with a couple of barcodes and a label that reads Mot for Retail Sale) means that this is not the real product but a reap off or if this is really refurbished. Very disappointed and now I am thinking of returning this item and go for another brand.

Awesome disk, it has a good speed

Back up your computer, substitute this drive and restore your system to the new drive. It will be MUCH faster. I have done this to four Windows 10 computers with excellent results. Be sure to install the free Samsung Magician software (from the Samsung web site) to set up Over Provisioning for better performance and longevity. If installing into a desktop computer, the very inexpensive Orico 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter makes it easy.

Replaced an HDD with this and man my hp probook 450g1 is lightning fast now running Linux Mint 20...Id give it more stars if I could.. Highly satisfied to say the least

My wifes is no longer complaining about her laptop be so slow after I changed out the HHD for an SSD.

I have been buying the EVO series since they vame out and havent had a single problem. They are fast and run cool. All around its a great SSD.
