Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM)

Open the box immediately.

WOW easy to install and so fast! Brought my computer back to life. Download software from Samsung website transfer clone old hard drive 32 minutes and done.

good product to self install

Cloned and installed easily, It replaced my hdd that was retired for remote storage. Windows now loads 33% faster and read/write speeds are incredible. The reason I only gave it 4 stars for storage is because 1T is not the biggest you can get from Samsung. 1T is 1T and this EVO DIgital has me smiling. Excellent ssd and well worth the cost!

My old Seagate hard drive was 9 years old and as such was going to go at anytime. I was dreading the data transfer part of this process (if it worked at all) and a big part of me selecting a Samsung SSD was the good reviews the transfer program had. True to the reviews, the transfer went off without any issues. Pulled the old drive, replaced with this new SSD, and bing-ba-da-boom it booted up just fine. Blazing fast boot up now too.

This item arrived early and performed as expected.

You pay for great performance

So far, so good. Just finished swapping out the hard drive on my painfully slow late-2014 Mac Mini with this SSD and I have a whole new computer. The change in speed is simply astonishing. If this continues to work out, Ive saved myself the cost of a new computer. I also purchased the iFixit tool kit and motherboard removal tool. iFixits step by step photo guide on their site was indispensable.

I needed to speed up a 10-year old desktop computer running Windows 7. This drive fit the bill. I downloaded the Migration software & manual from the Samsung website as well as the Magician software & manual. It was easy enough to install the software and run the Migration program to transfer the OS. I had the Samsung disk in a Syba ENC-50071 twin-bay USB3 based adapter and was able to migrate the OS, then swap out the drives and the difference is night & day. Using Windows experience the drive score went from 5.9 to 7.9. This breathes new life into the PC. I left a little space at the end of the drive (about 25GB) for a future Linux Mint installation so I can dual boot.

Don’t use Samsung’s recommended Data Migration software to clone your existing drive if it has more than 3 partitions. It wasn’t clear (at least to me) that the Data Migration software wasn’t copying every partition. Kept getting “Disk Read Error” with new the hard drive. Used Macrium’s free cloning software and the 860 EVO works great now.
