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

Its read/write speeds brought new life to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro. When I installed, it I had to install the OS from recovery mode (OSX Mountain Lion) then upgrade it twice to get to the current MacOS (MacOS Mohave). This process took no longer than 90minutes for all three OS downloads and installs and I only had to do it once (thank God). Overall, its great and I couldnt ask for more out of an SSD in a 7 yr old laptop.

I play a lot of video games and this SSD gives me longer loading times than others I have used. I have compared it to a Hybrid drive and it was about the same speed. It obviously doesnt come close to an NVMe SSD, but it does beat an old HDD. So if youre looking for a budget SSD I would keep your eyes on this one, especially if your not gaming. Also, it is a good price for the quality. I would recommend this SSD as a very safe purchase and you wont be upset.

This was for my wifes computer which is a pre-built at least 10 years old and it wasnt cutting edge when we got it.

Awesome way to speed up an aged laptop! Popped this thing in my girlfriends old hp pavilion & it majorly improved performance. 1st ssd, but am quite impressed with the 860 evo...

5x times fast at reading and writing than Seagate SSHD (hybrid driver)

Reliable and fast. The drive has ample space for Windows 10 and Office installs. Makes my old laptop have new life. I have installed many different SSD and the Samsung is the best.

Just bought an older Dell E6510 with great specs but a small Hard Drive. I decided to go from a mechanical drive to this solid state one which is 4x the capacity. I bought a Sabrent USB to ESATA adapter cable. Following Samsung’s installation instructions, I downloaded two programs to my existing hard drive. When I had attached this SSD to the laptop using the adapter cable, I ran Samsung’s “Data Migration” which quickly and flawlessly cloned the old HD. I removed the battery, slid out the old HD and inserted the new SSD. The SSD didn’t seem to fit. Comparing it to the old HD I saw it was a bit over 1/2 as thick. That extra wiggle room made it so that the SSD connector didn’t line up quite right. I popped the back cover off my laptop to get a better view. I was then able to clearly guide the drive onto its connector. Once I had screwed on the mounting screws(not included), all the wobble was taken away. The computer fired right up on the first try. I use Samsung Wizard to ensure the health of my new drive. It’s fast, easy and well worth the price to upgrade!

One of the best SSD on the market! Coming from a HDD, you really appreciate the change. My gaming PC is now faster in gaming and general purposes. Magician is a easy to use tool and helps to improve the SSD performance. Very recommended.

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.

This gave new life to my old HP Laptop computer; instead of taking minutes to boot up with Win 10, it now only takes seconds. Highly recommended upgrade!
