SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B

So I actually returned the product but changing review from one star to five on benefit of the doubt. Basically after return I bought another drive off the shelf at the store only to have the same problem. After looking at the problem more in depth I realized the error was on my part. Most drives you can just plug in and it works but this one didn’t even show up. Turns out I had to go to the disk manager to see the thing. From there I could initialize the drive and assign a drive letter BEFORE it would let me format the drive and use it.

The SSD works great. Comes barebones, just the drive and a small paper booklet, no mounting screws, no usb-to-sata cable, but if you know how to replace a drive, you probably have all this stuff lying around anyway. Just know that youll need at least that cable if you wanna clone your drive. Im sure youve read enough of those before-and-after stories, so Ill just say that its much lighter, quieter, and faster than my old solid state hybrid drive.

It does what it says .. fast writing n easy set up

The SSD itself is a fantastic product. It is quite the upgrade from the regular hard-drive I had in it prior.

I tested a lot, the issue wasnt the SATA cable or the SATA port. The drive just randomly disconnects

I waited for 2 weeks for this, and it was worth it, Thanks

Works as expected. The external case is not included with the SSD.

Ive probably had this installed three weeks tops and Im already having issues with files disappearing and I still have 1.37 TB left of the 2 it came with... File locations that cannot be located when I try to launch or cannot be uninstalled because the file doesnt exist but also cant be reinstalled either bc its already installed. Im disgusted. I just dont get how they can keep selling these and its destroying peoples data. I was stupid enough to fall for it bc its samsung but its a piece of garbage.

This thing is amazing. You can’t go wrong with a Samsung SSD and the speed will blow your mind. Windows updates that take hours on a traditional hard drive complete in minutes. It is fun to watch the disk access time when doing large installs or windows updates. Unless the queue depth is greater than one, the access times run around 1ms and the transfer rates are way faster too!
