Another Quality Samsung Product

I have owned the 850 Evo SSD for going on two years. It was the third SSD I have owned and I can honestly say the speed with it clearly outperforms the others, especially when utilizing the Turbo write and Rapid mode. Though I should note that these features require the Magician software which only runs on Windows, which is a bummer when it comes to running with Linux or Mac. This is yet another quality product by Samsung and has yet to give me any fuss. It may not be quite as fast as the Pro but for the price its a great buy.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow!

Purchased the 850 EVO 500Gb to install as my new Boot Drive in an old (2009) build. Now, this old build remains pretty darn fast and capable: i7-920 O/C'd to 3.87 GHz, 6Gb DDR3 1600 RAM, 2x WD Black 1TB drives, WIN 7 64-bit.
But after cloning the old HDD boot drive and installing the 850 EVO - WOW! My old machine now boots in like 4 seconds (really) and everything is fast, fast, fast. Breathed new life into a still great (but perhaps a little 'power hungry' compared to Intel's latest cpu's) old machine.
And on top of all of this, the included software - Samsung Magician - is slick, tight and impressive.
Bottom-line: new build or old, you will experience a vast improvement by installing one of these Samsung bad-boys. :)

Brings new life to old PC

I put this in my six year old first generation i5 desktop PC. Even though it's on a SATA II interface, this drive makes everything quicker and more responsive. I demoted the old WD Black to backup images and data backup.
Pros: Durable, 5 year warranty, hi peformance
Cons: more expensive
I would recommend this to a friend!
