SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E500B/AM)

This drive rocks! It put new life into my 2008 MacBook. The initial boot time is around 20 seconds, individual programs, such as MS Word, open in about 2 seconds. Thanks Samsung for saving me the cost of a new laptop!

I would just say it was the purchase of the year for me on 2016. It made my laptop from 2010 feel like a brand new laptop from 2016. Fast in every possible way.. I just hope it lasts forever... Love it !!!

Used to upgrade 2011 MacBook Pro. Combined with a memory upgrade, my old MacBook is snappier than ever. Definitely recommend for anyone with a slower Mac or pc who doesnt want to purchase a new machine yet.

Power!!! Cuts loading time on windows. Used for a primary drive. Amazing drive well worth the money. It’s a Must have.

Orig HHD was making noise so decided to upgrade to SSD before it failed. The Samsung migration software was not able to clone the HDD to SSD; kept getting failure notifications. Searched the internet and found Macrium Reflect but that didnt work as well; Ended up using EasyUSToDo for a successful clone. Good thing both were free versions. I also had to change the registry setting to reflect AHCI (right after the cloning) and in the BIOS on the initial SSD startup. Decided to buy the EasyUSTodo since it was able to resolve my cloning issue and I wanted to support them. Just wanted to point out that the Macrium cloning failure could have been due to not changing the registry & bios entries; wasnt aware of this requirement at the time. However Macrium did involve a more complex resizing process whereas EasyUSTodo does it automatically by selecting the optimize for SSD feature. Boot up went from 5 min to 1 min; guess my computer loads a lot of crap as others have gotten below 30 seconds.

The best computer purchase I have made in recent times....my 2008 MBP needed a speed boost because all the app are slow to a crawl. I purchased this product and since then, it is working as expected!!

This thing is stupid fast, I used the Samsung software to clone my HDD to this new Samsung SSD. It worked out very well and was easy to do. If you dont have a CD drive then just download the software client off of their website. The Capacity is only 464GB though, not 500, which in my opinion is a bit messed up and mis-advertised as 36GB is not something small.

It is a great product, it allows your portable personal computer to be faster than if you use mechanical hard disks. Starting only takes less than 10 seconds.

Really amazing quality, and its the same quality as the old 840 EVO for a much lower price. I bought the first 850 evo as soon as they came out for $200, and I thought that was a bargain. Imagine how I felt when I saw it was $178 for a 500gb SSD. Had to have one

Used this to replace my primary hard drive and what an improvement! Boot time is down to about 30 seconds from almost 2 minutes. My daily data backup (9,300 files - 710 MB) now takes 3 minutes instead of 6. Hopefully it doesnt slow down too much as it ages.
