Bought this drive to replace 840 evo 250gb .The new 850 evo 500gb is a little faster and Windows 8.1 boots in about 13 seconds. I made the 840 my game drive and it still works like the day I bought it over a year ago. I'll always go with a good company and Samsung never has let me down yet.
Pros: Inexpensive, fast
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

The solid-state hard drive was not hard to hook up although my backup for the other hard drive did not work as planned the other hard drive was 100 gigs bigger in desk size and I tried to migrate it over with the software that came with it but after doing it twice it failed. So what I did was install the operating system Windows 8.1 then I installed my files off of another backup. It all worked good and I am pleased with the performance and the speed of this hard drive. I am very pleased with the hard drive and would recommend it to anyone.

Excelent for virtualization and simulations products like VMware workstation and GNS3

I installed application like. wmvware workstation and gns3 in my SSD 850 EVO 2.5" SATA III 500GB. Also I stored my VMs templates inside this ssd. VMware workstaions and GNS3 installed super fast comparing with my previous hdd seagate barracuda 1tb.!!!!.During the cloned process the disk utilization percentage avg was no more than 10%. During the Guest's OS installation, the utilization disk percentage was between 5%-6%. While Im working with 2 VMs simultaneously it keeps between 5%-10% utilization.
Right now i have this samsung ssd hosting the os, application and my VMs. My previous seagate barracuda 1tb is storing my program installation files.
I'm willing to buy the 1TB version of this SSD later this year (waiting for a lower price).
Pros: Lightweight, all the benefits of having a ssd.
Cons: none

Excellent upgrade!

Added this to a system with a AMD FX8350,8 Gigs Ram and a MSI R290 as well as a WD1 TB Black HDD and it added life to an already pretty nice setup.
Windows loads in approx. 5-6
Everything is very fast and responsive.

Very good product

I did an image backup of the old drive before installing the new SSD. Using a USB connection, I initialized the SSD and then installed into the computer using an adaptor for a 3.5” drive bay. The old drive was 120 MB; the new SSD is a 250 MB drive. After installing the SSD, I used an image restore that I made previously and restored my operating system, (Windows 7) and other files that were on the other drive. I them expanded the Drive C partition to the full capacity of the SSD. Works like a champ.

Replaced a very slow 5400 rpm mechanical drive. Made a huge difference! Included cloning and optimization software made the entire process very easy and smooth.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight

No problem cloning

My old hard drive was starting to falter after 8 years, so after reading reviews and comparisons, I decided on the Samsung 850 EVO. So far, excellent! Once I obtained the USB 3.0 to 2.5 in adapter cable, cloning was much faster than I expected and went without a hitch, once I made sure to close ALL open applications. Installation in place of the previous SATA drive was also easy with the 2.5 to 3.5 in adapter frame that I purchased separately.
I would recommend this to a friend!
