SAMSUNG 860 EVO MZ-76E500E 500 GB Solid State Drive - SATA (SATA/600) - 2.5 Drive - Internal - 550 MB/s Maximum Read Transfer Rate - 520 MB/s Maximum Write Transfer Rate - 256-bit Encryption Standard

The cloning software from Samsung SUCKS It cloned the data but the drive wouldnt boot havent taken the time to get different software so the drive is sitting on the shelf. Have no doubt the drive is ok and will preform fine once I get it cloned. The 3 stars is for the software performance.

I only buy Samsung SSD’s. Generally, either 500 GB or 1TB versions meet my needs. I’ve worked with a few other brands, some didn’t last long, and had poor reviews, but never an issue with the two dozen Samsung EVO units I’ve purchased.

Reliable, reliable, reliable. Exactly what I needed. Using it in an X-Drive slot on my workstation for hot plugging project folders and off-site backup.

Excellent

Im a technician and let me tell you something....samsung has the best system for the ssd. You can update the software and you will not lose any data

I recently received this product on the mail and immediately noticed something very odd. Unlike the previous one I bought a year ago, this one came packed in a plain white box. It did not come in a fancy branded marketing box, the glossy type with the picture and the description of the product on the outside. So now I am wondering if this Mickey Mouse type of box (plain with a couple of barcodes and a label that reads Mot for Retail Sale) means that this is not the real product but a reap off or if this is really refurbished. Very disappointed and now I am thinking of returning this item and go for another brand.

I used it for a week and its very fast and stable. Thanks to the seller ... sell a lot

Worked perfectly, and fast delivery. Thanks!

My 2nd Samsung evo in this machine. Went from 250 to 500. One thing that came up in both installs that wasn’t covered in software or units instructions was to get into the bios and change startup drive order. Had to repoint it at the new ssd (with OS cloned to it)as #1 to get it to go with no error. Didn’t matter which sata port or anything else, it’s tied to the specific drive unit. No biggie but you have to know to do it. Took me a bit of screwing around to figure out what the issue was but once it was done, smooth as silk. Stick with the Samsung!

Used this to make backup of PS4
