I had still been using traditional hard drives before now and had no idea what I was missing. A few months ago I built a new system based around an Intel 4790k CPU(with liquid cooling), 16GB 1866MHz memory, 2x GTX970 in SLI, and a plain old hard drive, a Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black that I had already owned a few years. I was well aware the HDD was the main bottleneck in my system but really underestimated how much it was holding it back from it's true potential.When I installed the 850 EVO 500GB M.2, I figured I was do for a clean install of Windows anyways and wanted to try out Windows 10 so that's what I did. It's a hair longer now, but when it was a completely clean installation with nothing installed other than drivers, it booted to my desktop in 7 ... MoreI had still been using traditional hard drives before now and had no idea what I was missing.

Compared to probably two minutes or more(never really timed it) on my previous Windows 7 installation. I was sold on SSD's right there. Even when running programs installed on my other hard drives, everything feels smoother and more responsive. Games load amazingly fast and there's no more occasional slowdowns as part of a map is loaded or the like. I plan to in the near future get another SSD and have everything other than movies, music, pictures, and the like on something solid state.So basically, if you have a moderately decent system but still use a traditional HDD, get yourself an SSD. It'll feel like a new computer and like myself, you'll probably end up wondering why you didn't do so long ago.

Replaced a Sandisk Ultra II 2.5" SSD. I wanted to make use of the M.2 slot on my board, and after a lot of research settled on the Samsung Evo 850. It was marked down for Black Friday at Newegg, and was the best vendor deal I could find. It beat the Sandisk in nearly every test area. HW monitor showed it runs 3 degrees warmer @ 34 c vs 31 for the Sandisk. The install was a piece of cake since I had bought Acronis software when I bought the Sandisk SSD at Newegg last year. Since there are free alternatives the lack of cloning SW would not be worth deducting an egg even though other manufacturers do include it.

This model is an i7 chip machine and designed/specs to have an additional SSD drive.Because of that, I would expect that the partnership between Samsung and Best Buy would have specific instructions on how to physically, and electronically install the additional drive. After a few attempts at phone calls and attempts at chat to get intelligence, I was directed to go to the Geek Squad.Geek Squad did not know how to correctly install and configure the drive either.A spent $150 to the Geek Squad to electronically get the drive running.After contacting MS Assure, it turns out that the SSD drive was not implemented correctly, and it took 3 hours with them to re-image the drive and configure it correctly.I would not change out this drive for anything. it is ... MoreThis model is an i7 chip machine and designed/specs to have an additional SSD drive.Because of that, I would expect that the partnership between Samsung and Best Buy would have specific instructions on how to physically, and electronically install the additional drive.

And then let it fly. it will!
I do not have any fancy benchmarks to report in this review, I don't really care. It is faster than any platter hard drive and I'm using it in a Dell XPS 8910 desktop. It works and it is fast, that's all I care. I have not yet played any games but I upgraded this system because I am mainly using it as a virtual host. This 500 GB 850 EVO is just perfect price and disk space size to host my Windows 10 OS. I wanted Windows 10 to give me the flexibility of playing games if I wanted since this system has 64 GB of RAM. I don't house the virtual machines on the 850 Evo M.2 SSD drive, just the VMWare Workstation software. All the virtual guest systems are located on several TBs of separate 7200 RPM hard drives. Hope this will last 10+ years as my old (custom built) server ... MoreI do not have any fancy benchmarks to report in this review, I don't really care.

I am a professional aerospace engineer for hardware and software. as such, my work challenges my development hardware often up to and beyond the published specs. these evo ssd's of which i currently have 10 in constant use have provided me with the ability to compile, store, manipulate data in truly an outstanding and highly reliable fashion for a large, complex, and interrelated cross-platform project that involves all the latest windows, mac, and linux servers and their companion workstations. from machine language to c/c++ to c# to java, to sql, to html5 and some proprietary systems i have enjoyed a development lab that is virtually quiet and certainly cooler than when my equipment used rotational storage devices. i have taken the time to compare the speed ... MoreI am a professional aerospace engineer for hardware and software. as such, my work challenges my development hardware often up to and beyond the published specs. these evo ssd's of which i currently have 10 in constant use have provided me with the ability to compile, store, manipulate data in truly an outstanding and highly reliable fashion for a large, complex, and interrelated cross-platform project that involves all the latest windows, mac, and linux servers and their companion workstations. from machine language to c/c++ to c# to java, to sql, to html5 and some proprietary systems i have enjoyed a development lab that is virtually quiet and certainly cooler than when my equipment used rotational storage devices. i have taken the time to compare the speed between my older development and the current setups. i have re-compiled and compared the overall completion times and find that in every (my specific) case my overall time to completion is simply faster even on some of my older, much slower processors. i heartily recommend these units to even the most casual user. i have a batch of the (even faster) EVO 512's coming for an extension of the current development and am expecting to be even more pleased with these Samsung products. (not sure this is appropriate but i have tested other manufacturer's products and have chosen Samsung for the final production deliveries).
After a bit of searching for a new SSD for my mid 2012 13" MacBook Air, I stumbled across an article suggesting that this drive could be used with an M2.NGFF SSD 18+8 pin SSD adaptor for considerably less than buying a 'Mac' SSD upgrade kit. Fitting is not difficult and takes about 15/20 minutes but you do need both a pentalobe and torx screwdriver bits.The most time consuming aspect is restarting and reconfiguring the new drive with your data. II'd recommend backing up via timemachine and downloading the latest iOS to a USB stick BEFORE you start taking the old drive out. This will save you considerable time!If you don't you can use the Apple Internet recover setup with an ethernet cable. WiFi may work as the Apple system does allow you to enter your wifi ... MoreAfter a bit of searching for a new SSD for my mid 2012 13" MacBook Air, I stumbled across an article suggesting that this drive could be used with an M2.NGFF SSD 18+8 pin SSD adaptor for considerably less than buying a 'Mac' SSD upgrade kit.

This will save you considerable time!If you don't you can use the Apple Internet recover setup with an ethernet cable. WiFi may work as the Apple system does allow you to enter your wifi password. However, if you require an internet browser e.g Safari to open to enter any username/password details you cannot use the wifi method. For example, if you were in an internet cafe then a browser is often required to enter the username/password to login to the network.I have now fitted this SSD and my MBAir is performing well. It is at least as fast as before if not quicker and now with a considerably 4xlarger SSD!
Would I recommend this? Yes. :) Is it still available? No. :( It lasted a fantastically long time(4 1/2 years) as a main drive on a Gigabyte G1 gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151. (The computer still runs, but with a HDD until a replacement is acquired). Will I buy from Samsung again? Probably, This has been a good, long lasting drive. It finally started not wanting to start the Win 7 (got hung up on the splash screen and would not go any farther). Going to keep it in an external enclosure until it totally fails as temporary storage for non sensitive files.
Bought a new ASUS Strix Gaming Laptop (from Best Buy of course) and did not like the standard HDD that came with the laptop. I have been spoiled by the incredible SSD syndrome. I have upgraded every laptop and desktop over the years to SSD performance. Once you have it, it's hard to do with out. This laptop came with an open M2 socket so it was a no-brainer to install this to manage my OS and program installs for fast access. Easy to do, look it up online. Check on the laptop warranty for system upgrades. Some warranties are void but shouldn't be as this is a common practice today especially if the device has been designed for upgrade. Startup now is in seconds instead of minutes and access is super fast. Easy transfer from HDD to SDD with free program online but ... MoreBought a new ASUS Strix Gaming Laptop (from Best Buy of course) and did not like the standard HDD that came with the laptop.

In relative seriousness, I currently have this drive attached to an MSI z97a gaming 7 motherboard paired to an i5-4690, complimented by 8gb of questionable yet stable Avexir ddr3 clocked at 1866mhz. After enabling both the MSI rapid boot feature and Samsung rapid mode, this particular conglomeration of parts is able to present me with a Windows 10 desktop within fewer than 7 seconds of pressing the power button. This seems outrageous, but time after time it never ceases to impress friends and loved ones. I might also mention that due to the advancements in technology that allow m.2 to be possible, there is nary a data cable in sight. In addition, the modular power supply has only a 24 pin, 8-pin atx, and 6-pin graphics power attached.
