[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased as a secondary drive but after seeing how the drive performed, I backed up my drives and swapped them. The drive is quick and has been reliable for about 4 years now. I didn't need to whole 2 TBs for the primary so I split the drive and I am running a dual boot with Linux and Windows without issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It does not offer the transfer speed offered by Samsung and overheats too quickly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Josue547:
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 870 EVO SSD and for your review. Your 4TB drive was engineered to deliver speeds of up to 560MB/s Seq. Read and 530MB/s Seq. Write.
If you haven't done so already, you may want to use Samsung Magician to run Performance Optimization, ensure that your motherboard supports SATA III interface, check that all performance related settings are set correctly (cached enabled, AHCI enabled), and be sure you have the latest version of the driver.
Should you have any further questions, concerns or assistance with troubleshooting, please contact Samsung Customer Support.
