Disappointing

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and decided to give an overhaul to my old laptop, increased the amount of RAM and decided to switch to a solid state drive and picked this particular model because of Samsung's reputation, its features and a fair price. It turns out that the migration software does not recognize the solid state drive and when I contacted Samsung tech support they said the software does not support Windows 10, that I should get a third party software that supports Windows 10 or wait until Samsung releases a Windows 10 compatible version of the migration software, hopefully some time this month
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent SSD, easy to use software to migrate data

I installed the 850 EVO SSD as my boot drive, as I wanted the speed. I used the Samsung migration software to copy the data and operating system, it worked with no problems. You also get software to speed up your drive. But you have to be careful of the adapter you buy to install it in your PC drive bay. Some of therm don't fit the SSD.
Pros: fast, reliable, easy to install
I would recommend this to a friend!

Product is excellent. With purchase of USB 3.0 enclosure (not included with the product) and using Samsung migration tool I was able to clone and install the SSD without any problem. Though it took very long for 250gig SSD to clone using USB 3.0 enclosure. Overall I am satisfied with the product.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: usb enclosure not provided for cloning
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Samsung SSD 850 EVO mSata model MZ-M5E500 is the best little hard drive you could have , I mean 500gb of space on such a small drive. I keep all my backups on it. Thanks Samsung.
Pros: Durable, Inexpensive

I've had this M.2 drive for like 2 months and the speeds exceeds my expectation. I don't know if there's anyone else getting such speed but I find my drive to be exceeding the set standards.
Saves me lots of time when I'm running big data reports on crystal reports and sql queries as well.
