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

This is the third 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD that I have purchased. I used it to replace my laptop spinner drive. The performance is mind baffling. No more turning on the laptop and going to get a cup of coffee while I wait for it to boot up. It is literally less that a minute and the laptop is now booted and waiting for my login. This one was to replace the hard drive on my old i5 Sony Vaio 13 inch laptop that I use for traveling. Previous SSDs replaced my older Alienware 18 laptop 240 GB SSD and my sons Asus ROG gaming laptops 1TB Spinner drive. Samsung provides you with a link to download the software needed to clone your c drive. After the cloning is complete you can remove your old spinner drive and replace it with this one. You will be amazed at the performance enhancement. I think this improves the speed more than anything else I have updated on these machines. I use my old drives as back up emergency drives in case the SSD dies, but if you already have an external backup drive that you save your operating systems on, you can format your old drive and use it as extra space for your documents and downloads.

It worked perfectly

I have an older Dell that had a standard 500GB 7200 RPM drive in it and it was getting really sluggish. I replaced the drive with this 250GB Samsung 860EVO SSD and the increase in performance is incredible. I went from a 1 minute plus boot time to about 10-15 seconds. I decided to just do a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro and use the SSD as my boot drive. The install took less than 15 minutes. I could have just cloned my old drive but I only run a handful of apps so a fresh install was quick and easy. I cant comment on how reliable this drive will be long term but as far as performance goes, its worth every penny I spent on this drive. I have done a lot of upgrades in my life, but putting in an SSD is by far the best bang for the buck. I plan on buying a couple more of these drives and upgrading my laptop and a second pc I have. If you are on the fence, just get it. You will love it.

the four Torq pins (one per corner of the SSD) were absent and could not mount in my lapto ... had do return it

Replaced old spinner hard drive in PS4 pro with this drive and reduced load times in some games by more than 50 seconds. Extremely easy to install, just load the ps4 OS from a usb stick, instructions are on Sony website. Very happy with purchase

Replaced the hdd in my PS4 pro. Worked perfect.

Easy to install if you have a computer guy. He ordered it for me and cloned the old hard disk onto this one and it works just fine. I have had it for several weeks. What would I do without a computer guy?

Incredibly easy to use for a replacement drive with simple tools for migrating the data from the existing drive. The physical install is just as simple making the overall process quick and easy.

Using Samsung_Data_Migration_setup.exe made for an easy installation. Took some searching to find the program on Samsungs website, but the set up went well on a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series with Windows 10 Home. Noticeable speed increase on start-up, apps open faster. Its only been two days since the install but things look good. Bought the 500GB but perhaps should have sprung for the 1TB for more space. Laptop is used mostly for web browsing and MS Office. I do my photo and video work on my desktop PC and all of that data is stored on external drives anyway so 500GB will probably be fine. I recommend this drive.

Exelente apariencia, y funciono a la primera.
