    If you have an HDD and your thinking about upgrading to this... Stop thinking! I recently upgraded every single component in my computer EXCEPT my hard drive to the latest and greatest stuff and to be honesty I almost didnt even notice the difference in performance. From boot/load times to graphically intensive gaming. That was until I bought this SSD. I cut loading times by several times. Id say my computer is at least 5 to 6 times faster with this thing. This is hands down the most noticeable upgrade you can give to your PC if you are upgrading from a HDD.

    Got this to replace the HDD I used to have in my laptop and ever since, it doesnt overheat at all (my laptop is pretty old) and Im sure Id notice the speed if I still had windows 8 instead of Linux Ubuntu on it but I do use Gimp fairly regularly and it all functions the way its intended.

    I really have nothing to compare this to, as it is my first solid-state drive. It is a little more expensive than similar drives of the same capacity, and I did not run extensive benchmarks on it after I installed it (just simple speed test with a free app). The software that comes with it is for Windows only, and I read reports of people looking for firmware updates, which I did not find, but Im not really sure that I need anyway. All I can say is that it made my 2012 MacBook Pro run better than new, though I also upgraded to 16 GB of RAM a few months ago. Boot times are amazingly quicker, and almost all tasks run incredibly fast. I dont even dread using Photoshop anymore, And thats saying something.

    I am not the happiest with how you receive this drive, It comes in a paper envelope, with a small carton containing the drive and the directions. Does not come with mounting screws, and really should. I believe I blue-taped my SSD in place, LOL. Otherwise, this drive is stellar, and I expect it to last a long time.

    this thing is a FREAKING beast, great value for the money. i have one of these in my alienware 17 and it boots up in 6 seconds. with rapid mode enabled (through samsung magician software) this thing runs crazy fast (see photo below)

    speed increase for 5 year old PC is incredible! ordered 2 more for other office computers based on success and ease of transition. Amazon should suggest an SATA to USB cable with this product however.

    As a HDD goes it works just fine. The included software did nothing. I had to buy a USB to ssd adapter so I could use the software but the ware would not see the drive. Computer sees drive just fine but I could not ghost the drive so I just got to waste $13.00 on the adapter. Thanks Samsung

    Speedy Speedy! Have this thing as my boot drive for my 2010 iMac with a 1TB secondary. Unfortunately I dont think that model iMac allows for 6GB/s speeds, so it could go even faster. But for what I do (heavy photoshop, iOS coding, and light video editing) its pretty solid.

    Got this ssd about 2 years ago( feb 2018) . Initially runs really fast. But then recently everything slows to a crawl. Yesterday when turning on the pc, it said it needs to repair the drive. After some work, it finally boot up and got the windows 10 to work. I had my regular western drives for over 10 years and none of them had ever failed. Isn’t ssd supposed to be much more reliable than the regular drives? At least I am lucky that this ssd has some warning before it totally fails. Looking for replacements now.

    Excellent seller, ordered it on 1/7/16, and received it on 1/9/16. Exactly the same thing I would have purchased from my local retail electronics store (which didnt even have it in stock) and $20 less ! My first SSD drive, easy to clone, and install from my C drive to my new SSD, C drive. Beware you will need a USB to SATA cable to make the data transfer, and the bracket to stabilize it, so you may want to buy it all at once instead of running to the store for the additional cable, and hardware. Other than that the whole process was as easy as upgrading to Windows 10. Looking forward to buying from this seller again, highly recommend.
