SUPERB PERFORMANCE AT A FAIR PRICE

Let's face it, SSDs could always be cheaper--but when push comes to shove--there is no better performing product out there for a better price. This is the market leader right here, and I couldn't be more satisfied with these SSDs!
I would recommend this to a friend!

In Raid 0 it smokes a M.2

Expertise:Beginner
Wow this is the new king of the hill on hard drives. I wanted an upgrade from a mechanical; and went with 2 of these. I set them up in Raid 0 and my reads and writes are off the charts!! Was worried about raid 0 loss of data so I went with one of the best names in current SSD's Samsung so I sleep well at night...... So fast I can't get to my mouse before the reads and writes are done, just ridiculously FAST. When the SATA express tech comes out, and they are pared with these in raid 0 we wont know what hit us..... Now the humans are the bottleneck @-@
Pros: Durable, Lightweight, fasssst
Cons: would like support for sata express
I would recommend this to a friend!

Brought for my first PC build

For the first PC that I am building and the first time using a SSD, I chose this product based on favorable reviews from critics & users. The item was easy to install but I kinda wish that they provide sata cable with the ssd. Installing of OS was quick and easy and the PC booted quickly with the ssd. I have no complaints about this item.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Better option than buying a new computer
on July 12, 2016

I was looking at buying a new computer, mine was so very slow. After looking I noticed most new computers have slower CPU's than the one in mine..... I had heard the SSD was the way to go and it is unbelievable. I have gone from a 11 minute boot up time to under 2 minutes. I timed it from when you push the power button to when I can write a new email... It is fantastic. All apps load instantly and even faster once you open them the first time. It is like having a new computer for only a fraction of the cost. It is important that you follow the instructions. Load the software first. I rebooted then plugged the drive In.... I did not have a sata to usb cable, so unless you have a computer that has an external sata socket you will need the cable. The cloning software seemed to hang up at 100% and not responding, but luckily before stopping it I read online that it seems to do that just let it go and it will eventually finish. Maybe it is performing a function they forgot to add to the overall time, I have no clue, but after an hour it was done, I installed and have not looked back. Best computer purchase I have ever made... Recommend to anyone with a computer and unhappy with performance. I am going to upgrade all my computers now. It is not the cheapest SSD, but performance wise it destroys the competition in both writing speed and longevity
Pros: biggest bang for the money
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this SSD hoping not to have to buy another laptop for my wife. She wanted one due to how slow it was getting. We installed it in March and I must tell you it is fantastic. Zero complaints. It was a learning process to get it going. I just installed a new 1TB on my desktop computer yesterday. I am including that review now. It is the same for both. Most new laptops run as fast as they do due the SSD's they have installed

Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB is awesome
on July 16, 2016

Expertise:Intermediate
Purchased a different brand for my first SSD and returned it to the store the next day - purchased the Samsung SSD for just a little bit more money, but it was definitely worth it!
It has been 3 and 1/2 months since i first installed it, and 2 months since installing one on wife's computer - we don't have sata 3 so the speed isn't as great as it could be, but...the speed is awesome! The sequential r/w is about 1/3 again as fast as a new ST2000 hd, but the random r/w is off the charts faster...
Boot time has gone from about 5 minutes to about 2 minutes...can't wait to get my sata 3 motherboard...
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive, lightning fast even on sata2
Cons: can't think of a thing
I would recommend this to a friend!
