Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SATA 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-77E500)

I upgraded my old laptops HDD with this one and it was definitely worth it. The bootup time has reduced a lot with under 30 sec startup times(was more than 2 mins). And the Magician software was definitely a big help in data migration. Few points to know before you buy this: Check the compatibility thoroughly(size, connection type(SATA), etc.) You would need a SATA to USB cable for the migration process. Be careful about the screws when changing drives. (gave me some hard time)

Was easy to install. Data migration took about an hour then update default boot drive vola! It worked in first try. Although inwas very skeptical about it working at all as it was delivered with the original box no other packing box was crushed at many places. It was not properly pack its a fragile item. Not even a sticker saying same.

Using it as a booting drive in my old laptop, worth the cost

Hello Amazonians, My existing setup is as follows: Laptop: Legion y740 15inch with RTX2070 MaxQ HDD: 1TB 2.5 inch (7mm) 7200rpm (stock) SSD: 128GB m.2 NVMe Pcie 2242 m+b key (stock) with Win10Home Wanted to upgrade both the: A.) existing 1TB 7200 rpm HDD as well as the B.) 128GB m.2 NVMe pcie SSD With: A.) 2TB Samsung 870 EVO 2.5inch SATA SSD B.) 1TB Samsung 980 m.2 (2280) NVMe pcie SSD m key (for Win10 OS). As i only use the Lenovo Legion y740 15 for gaming purpose so with games having humongous download sizes, 1TB HDD was filling up faster (was left with only 250GB of 1TB space) and also the 7200rpm drive was real slow for game load times (waiting of 3-5 mins) for a game load. As of the current Gen, a NVMe pcie based m.2 SSD is the fastest drive in the market and Samsung 980 is the latest iteration from its new lineup of m.2. Ofcourse there are the PRO version m.2s as well but those are just out of budget and out of scope from a gaming/home use kind of scenarios unless one is into heavy video editing, designing and vfx purposes. Installing both the SSDs is fairly simple as just the screws are to be removed (follow your laptop manual for the same) and pop in these in their respective slots and secure them with screws. A word of caution though: m.2 slot on the laptop/desktop motherboard are mostly M Key based (female notch placed at the right side of a m.2 SSD that goes into the male notch on the motherboard). Also, most laptop/desktop motherboards easily support varying lengths of m.2 SSDs like 2242 2260 and the longest 2280 (22 is the width in mm where as the last 2 numbers i.e. 42, 60 and 80 are the lengths in mm). Also, a 2.5 inch (7 mm or 9 mm) HDD/SSD enclosure can also be bought so that you can keep your old HDD/SSD as a portable HDD/SSD within the enclosure. I bought the transparent ORICO 2.5 mm model 2193U3 HDD/SSD enclosure (have reviewed that as well) and i keep my 7200 rpm 1TB HDD inside this enclosure after having it replaced with the 2TB Samsung 870 EVO. Likewise, there is also an enclosure for the m.2 NVME PCIE SSD available from the same brand, ORICO. Check it out at amazon.in as well. So, I made a BOOTABLE win10 usb (using the Windows Medial tool online) so that I can install the OS on the newly installed m.2 2280 ssd and the entire process took less than 30 mins from hardware installation to OS inatallation from USB to the new m.2 ssd. There is Less to No Comparison of Quality and Price of Samsung SSDs with other brands like Sabrent, Crucial, WD etc. Kindly like the review if it helped to make your buying decision that much easier. Cheers and e-peace...

Currently using this to capture and edit videos. It’s a good price for the performance if you only need a slight amount extra storage. However if you have the money get an M.2 SSD for gaming

I have switch my hdd with this runs very fast now
