[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially, the speed of my machine seemed slow. However, after installing everything it needed and windows updates things looked normal. I haven't used my machine a lot but, definitely, seems like it's good. I hope it keeps working for a while. Overall, easy to install and I recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the fourth Samsung SSD I've bought and all 4 are still working. For a while I tried a SanDisk SSD (Mistake it didn't last more than a year and a half before it started failing) Samsung SSD's from now on. They have a great balance between speed and longevity and reliability!
Great quality, great price, great speed, recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I"m very happy with the SSD, it is actually faster than the Kingston that it is replacing (at twice the size).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have 3 of these 4tb ssd drives and they are great super-fast and of course quiet. I store music and video as well as data on these drive and I and real happy with their performance and the cost
Device is failing after only 10.1 TBW. It is rated for 2,400 TBW. Luckily I was able to recover many corrupted files from a backup. SMART data confirms 566 bad blocks and over 10,000 unrecoverable failures. I've read that this model SSD sold in 2021 have known defects and are prone to early failure.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second purchase of these 870 EVO SSDs. My PC would hang up sometimes with my older PNY SSDs. I did an image backup and restored the image to these 870 EVOs and the hangup problem was solved.
