East to use, but can't migrate old drive to it.

connects and works (I can manually partition and copy data), but the Data Migration tool just sits there at 0% and does nothing. no error, no diagnostic.. nothing.
I'm upgrading from a small Samsung 860 drive, and now spending my time googling (and not finding) a solution.

Great product, even for one bad firmware

I got one about year ago and it had bad firmware but I worked with support and was able to send it in for repair/replacement since it was still well within warranty. I get it, people mess up from time to time but at least support didn't try to push the blame on me at any more. I bought another as a replacement for that one and I have 3 others all the exact same. I'd had 2x 840 EVOs before this and they held up like a champ each of them. I only replaced them for something bigger. So I fully expect these to perform the same way.

Don't store useful data on this

Dead in 3 months with low usage.
Samsung Magician scan showed almost 50% corrupted. The next day it made a whirring and loud click sound and no longer works. No computer recognizes it exists when hooked up.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Laptop Runs Faster

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to put into a laptop that was running slow and believed by installing the SATA 2.5 SSD 1TB would process faster. The good news, it does and is running like a 2023 laptop rather than a 2015 one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy Installation!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this drive one month ago and installed my 4 TB 870 Evo SATA it in my Puget Systems Lightroom workstation. The key was to select GPT for my partition table when formatting the drive. When completed, the drive had 3.6 TB of usable space. I then used SAMSUNG MAGICIAN to optimize its performance to achieve write and read speeds over 1200 MB/second. I use the drive to store the 25,000 photo raw files for Lightroom. It more that doubled the performance of the 2 TB Western Digital hard drive I was using before. I'm very pleased with my new Samsung 870 EVO SATA SSD!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Definitely better than HDD, but not as good as M.2

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it to replace my xbox hdd. The migration didn't go well (yeah, Magician is not so magical as it's been sold), so I had to use a low-level dd. Overall, the performance increased, but it's not as good as M.2
I would recommend this to a friend!
