Samsung is a good brand when it comes to SSDs. My laptop is 5 years old with a 5400rpm HDD. Successfully cloned with everything and what a difference in run times. If you are planning to clone your old hard drive to a Samsung SSD you will need to buy a SATA transfer cable which isnt expensive. You will also need to use the Samsung Data Migration software to clone the drive. Just do a Google search to find it. Its easy to use and its free to download from Samsung. Theres also a user guide for the software on the same webpage.

Had for about a month now and no problems. Installed vey easily.

Works great!

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

Wonderful to get this installed on my 7 year old MacBook Pro.

Although the drive in the computer wasnt working well, it seems that the problem is the motherboard OR the processor. Will replace those in the spring. But I got the drive much sooner than expected!!

Dead on arrival. Would not identify. Did not show warmth on thermal scan. DOA.

The item came earlier than expected! I love you!

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.

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