The 850 EVO is a awesome SSD

I have Win7 ultimate on a Asus Maximus and bought a 500gb EVO for the OS, I am running two 500gb disk drives one for games and one for programs and a 2tb disk drive for storage and backup.
The two 500gb hard drives were left over from the raid on my old comp. The boot time and speed of the EVO is very impressive so I plan on buying a EVO 250gb or EVO PRO 240 256gb for Windows and making the EVO 500 SSD the gaming drive. I must say the Samsung EVO is probably the best single investment I've made on a upgrade.....

I have upgraded my new laptop last year and before I got it I wanted to upgrade everything in it to the max. So, I went on a search for the best ssd and biggest I could find. And this was the only one of its kind, so I got it. This was my first SSD and I was a bit apprehensive, but boy was I pleasantly surprised at how well it operates! It is fast and clean.......no noise, just work. I love it! I would recommend that, if you have the opportunity, you should try this drive! you will not be disappointed!
Pros: Lightweight, size

This 850EVO 500GB is a fantastic SSD!

The 850EVO 500GB has the speed, is lightweight. Way better than the 7200rpm 500GB drive it replaces. And what I noticed the most is the PC after SSD replacement for the Operating System, it has a feel when using the keyboard or mouse, of being as "smooth as silk". That was unexpected and hard to describe, but I bet you'll notice, it is great!
I'd suggest if and before replacing the boot drive, Perhaps create a "Windows System Repair" disc or USB key fob, before replacing your boot drive with the SSD. Just in case, and if needed.
So, I am very happy with the machine with the new SSD, and it is working great! Thank you Samsung!!!
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight, great data migration software, great samsung magician software (downloadable)
I would recommend this to a friend!

I BOUGHT TWO OF THESE ONE WENT IN ONE COMPUTER AND THEN THE OTHER IN ANOTHER ONE. BUT THE SECOND INSTALL DIDN'T WORK FOR SOME REASON. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TRIED TO HELP. THEY WERE REALLY NICE AND INFORMATIVE. THANKS. BUT THE ONE I GOT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL DUD. NO BIGGIE. BECAUSE THE RETURN PROCESS HAS BEEN EASY SO FAR. THEY SENT ME MY UPS LABEL AND ILL SEND IT BACK TO GET A NEW ONE.
Pros: Lightweight

SSD Installation
on June 16, 2015
Posted by: pcuser1
from Dallas, TX, USA
The installation operations of the Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB SSD occurred very easily and in a very straight forward manner. Being a non hardware pc user I had a great deal of trepidation about the difficulties one might encounter such as hard drive partioning, etc. No problem, as the Samsung provided instructions and migration software performed flawlessly. Now my pc boots up very quickly and the applications open and close much much faster than the old spinning hard drive.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
