SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 250GB
on April 30, 2016

Cheap. Bought this SSD to replace regular HDD boot drive. My computer now boots much faster.
However:
Using the cloning software that came with this SSD is not recommended unless you want to give Samsung access to your computer. I used the free back-up and cloning software for users that also have a WD HDD.
This SSD failed once after a couple of weeks and had to go through the cloning and re-installation process all over again.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Poor quality, not recommend using cloning software
I would recommend this to a friend!

The SSD lives up to its reputation and reviews. The only (very minor) con is that it does not come with a SATA III cable or any desktop mounting brackets (drive only). You must purchase these separately if installing in a desktop.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent SSD drive

This is an excellent drive. The migration using Magician was fast and easy.
Fast move from HDD to SSD and startups less than 10 seconds into Windows 7.
I will be purchasing more of these drives for my desktop systems.
