Speed Boost for My Laptop
on April 10, 2016
Posted by: braingamer47
from White Plains, KY
I have had this device for a while now, and it is good. So far no issues. My bootup time went from 90 seconds to around 20-30 using Windows 7 Ultimate. Things load notably faster.
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent speeds over usb 3.0
on January 8, 2017
Posted by: ScooterDano
Expertise:Expert
FAST! I have this installed in an external mSata enclosure connected to my computer via usb 3.0 cable. Rather than extra storage, I cloned my OS to the drive and run my system through it with zero issues. I'm recording speeds of 370 write and 430 reads, much faster than my internal 5,400rpm SATA hard drive, which gave me only 60/75 read/write speeds. Best bang for your buck if you're looking for a super small SSD for portable storage, and probably better if you install internally.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, fast, easy install
I would recommend this to a friend!

A GREAT mSATA (5 YEAR Warranty)
on June 7, 2017
Posted by: Gunny5821

Expertise:Expert
My laptop had a 120GB mSATA, which was an upgrade and working fine. However, when I saw the price for this 250GB mSATA with a "5 YEAR" warranty, it just made logical sense to upgrade my laptop with this new SAMSUNG mSATA. My mSATA port is a SATA 3.0 port and this SAMSUNG mSATA is a speed demon. I could not be happier with this items performance and did I mention it comes with a 5 YEAR warranty!!!
I have married this SAMSUNG 850 EVO mSATA alongside the SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB SSD. Using the SAMSUNG Magician software will even enable these drives to run at a higher performance marker! Couldn't be happier and highly recommend!
Pros: Inexpensive, reputation, performance, warranty, msata, ratings, reviews
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Data Migration and Magician Work Great!
on May 24, 2016
Posted by: PhotoDon
from Lake Forest, IL, USA
Expertise:Intermediate
Samsung Data Migration was very simple to use and totally successful on first try. Expected that I would need sector-to-sector clone application, such as EaseUS or AOMEI, but no reason.
Used Samsung Magician first on an 850 EVO 2.5" SSD, purchased year earlier, to update the firmware after Tech Support reassurance that it worked perfectly 99.9% of the time. Then set the drive to Over Provision recommended values and checked the performance.
Used it on the new 850 EVO mSATA, which already had the current firmware, to set Over Provision and check performance. Very pleased w the included software!!
Pros: wonderful included software
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung 850 EVO mSata 500 GB
on August 3, 2015
Posted by: AndySamsung
from Texas, USA
Expertise:Expert
Awesome drive but Magician software doesn't recognize drive for some reason even though BIOS and Device Manager do. Please fix asap because site claims that it does. Is there a registry fix to get software to recognize the drive?
Pros: worked right out of the box
Cons: software doesn't work.
