New life to an old friend.

Overallu I've had this bad girl for two years and haven't noticed any slow down at all. I've been using it for Live Audio Production and Video Editing. It has great speeds compared to the older HDD I was using. Before the computer was practically impossible to operate normally. Nothing wrong with the software though. The CPU was working fine. I almost gave up on this old girl. But instead I took a little risk and decided on trying out a replacement Samsung SSD. And it has given me what feels like essentially a new computer maybe not as fast as some of the newer rigs out there. But for an 9 year old top of the end laptop. It still holds up. I work in the technology industry and it kinda impressed me because before this upgrade I was feeling as if the laptop was no more useful than a large paperweight. I'm all about recycling and getting the most out of a product so we aren't creating waste. So thank you Samsung for giving it a new life. Next year it will probably be retired from editing. But I guarantee it still has another 5 years after that as a entry level computer for some kid that just needs to do homework.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Runs great. Had it for a vrmery long time and has outlasted a couple 970evos and a 980 pro ssd. They are all doing the same job of video storage/processing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung 870 EVO 4TB is an excellent high-capacity SSD for desktops and laptops looking to upgrade from a hard drive. At 4TB, it offers massive storage space that can hold thousands of files, applications, games, and more.
Performance is very strong for a SATA drive. Samsung rates sequential read/write speeds up to 560/530 MB/s, which is over 30x faster than a typical hard drive. In real-world use, I saw speeds consistently in the mid-500s for reads and mid-400s for writes. This makes the drive feel very responsive for booting Windows, loading programs and games, and transferring large files.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month back and I gotta say this is the best memory I've ever had samsung is just an insane company and I'm so happy to use it alongside My 24 ultra
