Samsung produces high quality SSDs like the 860 EVO and I highly recommend this SSD for the price and the long lifespan. The installation is easy and requires only 3 minutes of work. Just to let you know in advance, you will also need a SATA III cable to connect this to your motherboard.

I bought this drive few months back when it fell into my budget and to be honest it has shown a great performance increase. Even better performance increment than RAM upgrade. Now that the SSD prices are going down drastically, it is the right time to make switch from the traditional.

Inexpensive; Lightweight

Be careful when you buy this product. You need to also buy a M.2 USB adapter to transfer your old data. Also the Samsung migration software which you have to download. did not work for me despite multiple attempts. I ultimately had to buy Paragons HD Manager to clone my old data to the new drive.

My local Office Max store where out of stock on these drives, so I had to special order one. And It sure was worth the week I had to wait for it. I downloaded the Samsung Migration software and the Magician driver software before installing the new drive to the PC.

almost effortless cloning; easy to use migration and driversoftware; inexpensive; fast and quiet

should have come with mounting screws

ASK SAMSUNG TO MAKE IT GO FASTER !!!

FAST; FAST; FAST

Samsung has replaced the longtime reigning champion of the mainstream SSD market. We test out the 860 EVO to see whether doubling V-NAND layers doubles...

Please SAMSUNG, review your documentation as it's stated in your docs that 860 EVO is 3bit MLC.................................................. I think there is something wrong !

Best of all, the 860 Evo isn't some overpriced luxury: the cost per gigabyte is perfectly reasonable for a 2.5in SSD of this calibre, at 32.8p for 250GB, 30.4p for 500GB, 29.6p for 1TB, 30.8p for 2TB and 31.3p for 4TB.

Exceptionally fast; Long lifespan; Reasonable price

Modest sequential write speed increase

Super fast, pure bliss to change from ordinary SSD, free Far Cry 5 just blow my mind and running it from SSD works like a charm

Turns your's old laptop into a super laptop. That's all I can say.
