Great product but sata is a older dying format currently being replaced by nvme m.2 and others. That isn't any fault if this product though so in light of that this product is a good product in that it does what they promise performance wise and even can surpass those promised speeds but with a few caveats when using samsungs magician software to boost the performance. I like the magician software as well my only gripe with it is that it only supports samsung drives when it comes to certain features and stats. The drive runs incredibly cool Temps wise and I really like how the software tracks the life span and shows it to you with all other kinds of performance info on the easy to read and easy to find dashboard. I bought this at the sametime as buying a samsung 990 nvme m.2 drive which also was a amazing device. For systems like mine that only came with one m.2 slot the sata drives can be a welcomed addition to expanding your storage capabilities. For me I have actually 8 drives in total on my pc several are sata 3 and several are ran threw a nmve to pcie adapter, and I use it for mostly gaming but have plans on using it for a storage server so this way I can have my own free cloud storage set up in the near future.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drive is one of 5 Samsung SSD drives I have in my main computer. I have 2 500gb Samsung SSD in a raid0. And the SSD 1 terabyte drive I and reviewing is where all my information of all sorts is on this Drive I call Drive D. Very fast and speedy. So my information is safe and frequently copied to remain safe. If my main Drive C /the raid drive fails. All is safe on This drive D. I must have 10 Samsung SSDs floating around. They are definitely my go to. Never had one fail in what about 20 years. I highly recommend this drive.
Served as my boot drive since 2018 and its done that well. As a gamer and video editor I likely should have gone for at least the 1tb version but that's no fault of the drive.
