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

works perfectly with 15 second start up

Great SSD! Replaced the old mechanical hard drive in my laptop, boot time went from over a minute to just under 30 seconds! A worthwhile upgrade for anyone looking to get a bit more life from an older machine!

My favorite laptop was getting very slow, especially on power-up. The Task Manager told me the 1TB hard drive was consistently a bottleneck. It would stay at 100% busy for minutes at a time while everything seemed to be at a standstill. The CPU was always at a very low level, below 10% typically. When I saw this 1TB SSD, I knew it was worth a try. The migration of data was very straightforward with the Samsung Data Migration software. Then, I just opened up my laptop and the SSD dropped right into the place where the hard drive had been. I turned the laptop over and pushed the ON button and it started up in seconds instead of minutes. It was ready to use as fast as I could type in my PIN! I used to dread turning it on because it took so very long to boot up while the hard drive was 100% busy. Now, I have a great high performance laptop again! I am still amazed. It starts as fast as an iPad!

Mi paquete llegó a otro edificio, me ha tocado ir a buscarlo por el vencidario entre varios edificios.

Using Samsungs migration software I was able to transfer automatically (clone) my old SSD to this new one in about a hour using usb 3.0 connection (460 GB). From there its just disconnect the old main drive, plug this one up in its place, and youre good to go. If youre looking to replace a old drive with a operating system on it get a Samsung, you can transfer in be done with a full hdd/ssd swap in <2 hours depending on the data on the old drive.

I believe this being the 5th purchased... well worth the investments. Desktops & laptops are now running 2x-3x as fast extending the life of the devices (Running cooler), providing noticeably faster startup ... OS and internet connection. Did the research... set research to the side (Due to work... family...).... and months later.... additional research confirmed that updating drives would be extremely beneficial ... and months later... a 5th purchase and upgrade.

I use these as primary drives in all my computers as well as additional secondary storage drives in my main PC. I use these to make clone backups for each of my computers and keep the backups in a safe deposit box to protect me from both Windows crashes and a hostile takeover, as well as store one inside my PC (disconnected from its SATA cable). If I crash, it takes me 5 minutes to get back up and running. The cloning software that comes with them works well. Certainly lightening fast compared to HHD.

So easy to make the conversion. The software made the hardware upgrade easy. Wished I did this years ago.

Great

This is my fourth SSD from Samsung and over the past 5 years I havent had even a whisper of a problem from any of them and still use all of them daily. They are fast and reliable, you just cant go wrong with this brand
