Super responsive and works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this SSD to upgrade my 2015 iMac. I installed it myself and it worked fantastically. Unfortunately, my motherboard had some defects that would not let me use my upgraded iMac after a month. I then retrieved the SSD and installed it into a Ugreen USB-C enclosure and I am now using it with my brand new Macbook laptop. It is still functioning perfectly and I am quite pleased with this super fast SSD.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works with my Pi 4

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Functions well connected to a Rasperry Pi 4 setup as NAS. Make sure you buy the correct USB-SATA adapter if using with a Pi. The JSAUX branded apapter worked for me.

It's fast but...
on March 24, 2022
Posted by: EeveeMasterMo
from Michigan
Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I'm very happy with this drive but... it's not performing as advertised. This could be because of my system maybe? (All drivers updated)This drive is rated for 560 Mbs read & 530 Mbs write, but I'm getting 551 Mbs read & 496 Mbs write. Not to mention the IOPS are extremely low compared to what's documented (like 70000 below), but overall is been functional properly(not including speed). I've only owned this drive for like 2 weeks, so a review this early seems premature & has no relevance to long-term use. So do what you will, with this info.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re not fully satisfied with the speed performance of your 870 EVO SSD.
Your 00GB 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.
As there are various factors that could affect speed, I would encourage you to call Samsung Customer Support for further assistance to troubleshoot your issue.
You can reach us at:
1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Memory or press #, then 6 for Memory products)
Available 9AM – 12AM EST (Mon-Fri)
Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the SUPPORT link in the upper right corner of the homepage for:

Fantastic SSD at a great price

Expertise:Expert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our University has been purchasing this SSD and replacing the hard drive on some of our older laptops and using them as loaners. They are extremely reliable and you can't go wrong at this price point. The Samsung Magician software that you can use to migrate your data from the old hard drive to the new one is also amazing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Quite slow.

Expertise:Intermediate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works, but isn't quite up to the 560MBps expected. Could be worse I guess. I'd stay away.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great blend of capacity and performance!
on March 22, 2022
Posted by: NeedMorToys
from Gettysburg, PA
Expertise:Expert
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 9 months ago to expand the storage in my Dell XPS system. The drive is fast, has tons of storage, and has been perfectly reliable. The Samsung Magician software made it a breeze to optimize and test the drive, and to monitor it's health.
I would recommend this to a friend!
