Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E1T0B/AM)

Cheap and easy and made by samsung means credible.

I have two of these, running windows on one, and extra storage for games on the other.

I used this SSD to upgrade my 7 year old laptop and breathe some life back into it. This Sony VAIO is my only computer and was having an issue where the HDD would be at 100% read durning startup and while running programs. That HDD was hitting 20Mb/s on a good day. In installed this HDD and turned on hyper mode with the magician software and then BOOM I’m hitting 4,500+Mb/s! It’s only at 1% usage almost always! Then I found my RAM was a bottleneck, is I threw in 8 more Gb of ram and now my processor is the bottleneck. IT NEVER ENDS! But it’s safe to say it started with this Samsung SSD and this thing is amazing. My computer literally is usable in seconds and I bought it in 2013!!

Good for video post-production. Love Samsung SSD. Wish, I could afford 1TB.

Love it upgraded to win10 n put that fat larry onto the ssd along with games with lots of load screens and everything runs in the blink of an eye highly suggest

Replaced spinning rust and sped an anemic Pentium Silver to usable status. Super easy to install replacing super slow OEM Toshiba 5400rpm and with a fresh install of Windows it’s as fast as possible without OEM crud.

got this in hopes to replace my old dying ssd which was causing my computer to crash, sadly it did not fix the problem, other than that the ssd is great and my 500gb ssd had 460gb storage so its not exactly the storage amount but close enough. Good ssd and fast data transfer.

Honestly this SSD was exactly what I needed. I like to keep a pretty large game library so I can pick and choose what games to use and this thing has upped my disk speeds to almost non noticeable levels. I havent run into a situation yet where I need to wait for my game to load yet compared to my HDD drive. Definitely get these if you need a SSD.

Apparently one of the two SSD drives I ordered was used, as Windows was already installed on it. Seems a boat enthusiast named John Greene owned it previously, and considering I ordered two NEW SSD drives; you can imagine that Im not thrilled.

Worked for 2010 iMac. Don’t use time machine, use Super Duper to create a bootable drive with this drive. It will be bootable, however time machine won’t make this drive bootable. I still downloaded a DMG image of OS on usb to get it to boot.
