Upgraded my older laptop and it runs better than ever!

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.

Fast, reliable, has yet to have a Sammy SSD fail on me, if it ever does I will update review to reflect the failure and the experience with Customer Service.

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.

Reliable, reliable, reliable. Exactly what I needed. Using it in an X-Drive slot on my workstation for hot plugging project folders and off-site backup.

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

good

I put this on my 2011 Sony and it’s as fast as a new computer and easy to install.

Worked perfectly, and fast delivery. Thanks!

Hard drive is great, delivery sucked. Amazon did not notify me that a signature was required and no one was home them ups decided to take my package and drop it off at a store for pickup. The packaging was absolutely crushed. Im glad this was a solid state drive because a traditional hard drive would have been destroyed.
