Greater than one weekI bought this SSD to replace a 1TB HDD. I have always been on the fence about SSDs, as I have heard of the finite ability to erase and write like a traditional HDD. But with current technology this 2.5 form factor SATA SSD was a bargain. I used to boot up my PC and go into the kitchen to start coffee while I waited for my PC to actually boot up. But with this SSD, that which took several minutes now takes mere seconds, as in its up and running before I can get up to go into the kitchen. I do have an M.2 SSD slot, but M.2 is fairly pricey, so I opted for the 2.5 form factor and it works beyond my expectations.

> 3 dayI love the performance boost it gives to my old MacBook Pros. I first purchased one of these back in 2017 for my MBP 17” late 2011; that and a 16GB Ram made it run like new even today (I’m writing this on Sep 27 2020).

Greater than one weekThis SSD saved my 4 year old desktop from the scrap heap. My i7 with 16GB RAM had slowed to a crawl and it turned out the bottleneck was the the HDD only transferring .2 MBps. This SSD has the old computer running better than new. Some data intensive programs (or apps as the call them now) that used to take 20 minutes, now only take 2 minutes. I also bought the transfer cable and mounting bracket. The old drive was so slow it took 26 hours to clone 270GB.

> 3 dayIf I think Ill load it any time soon, it goes on the 2TB 860 EVO. If I dont think Ill load it any time soon, it goes on a hard drive. I have >50GB games I have never played that are installed on this drive, because I havent needed the space. If it wasnt for all the things that will only install on C:, I wouldnt have to worry about disk space at all.

> 3 dayIm an utter believer in Samsung brand. My fridge, microwave, both large screen TVs, etc.. all made by Samsung and working very well. SSD is an exception here. Its a fast drive, and its perfect with Intel hardware. However, its not very compatible with AMD hardware. Ive only tested with SB750 and SB950 chipsets, so I cant vouch for others, but be warned here.

> 3 dayThe best you can get with SSD in SATA form factor! I do a lot of data transfer as a graphic designer. This has never let me down or slowed up! 10/10

> 3 dayWorked for 2010 iMac. Don’t use time machine, use Super Duper to create a bootable drive with this drive. It will be bootable, however time machine won’t make this drive bootable. I still downloaded a DMG image of OS on usb to get it to boot.

Greater than one weekFit perfectly into a mid-2012 13-inch MacBook Pro. File read and write performance has substantially improved, and boot time has been reduced by about 25%. The drive is silent and very speedy.

> 3 dayI have been using the 860 EVO SSD for around 11 months, and have not had one issue. It made my custom gaming oc able to boot in 10 secs (down from over a min w/ regular HDD). I recommend anyone who has a PC or Mac still rocking a HDD, change to the SSD and use it as your main boot drive (you will be asking yourself why you waited so long to upgrade). Dont forget to buy a mounting bracket for it!!
