UPC's:
They sit in the box nicely
Id like to install them but oh wait, BHPhoto is busy misleading me on when my NAS will be here.

Always good drives
Ive used Samsung 850 and 860 EVO drives for several years now and havent had any failures (out of probably 90 drives). They perform well and have excellent imaging software.

Good performance, excellent value
Laptop hard drives seem to come in three flavors: Very cheap, routine performance/good value, and high performance/expensive. These Samsung EVO drives are great for most laptop configurations. Theyre simple to install, and in a typical Windows 10 environment, from turning on the power to boot is about 7 seconds, max. The Samsungs have decent MTBF numbers, and theyre so popular as to be relatively inexpensive. I put this one in an HP Eliteb... Show More

860 EVO is best value
The 2 TB is now the price of the 1 TB from a few years ago and the EVO series has been very reliable for my business for the past 4 years.

Works fine but was short on storage
installed and working fine but noticed it only had 932 gb of storage available. Not worth the effort to take out and return. Would have been 5 stars had there been 1tb like advertised.

Great Drive
Have this in my wifes gaming system, it boots windows about 2-5 seconds slower than the 960EVO, but both are near 30 seconds to boot. Boot times and Game load times are both ridiculously fast on both M.2 drives.

Samsung quality
This is my 3rd evo SSD and I have nothing but good things to say. The other 2 are still running strong and are 5 years old. Consistent speed and reliability.

Should serve the Photographer I built this for well.
This will be used as a second SSD (OS on a 1TB 97o EVO plus) for working files and caches along with 2- 8TB storage disks on power switches. CPU is an Intell i9-9900K and the review reads: This was put in a Gigabyte z390 Designare MB as a build for photo and video editing. It went well and burn in and benchmarks all passed with flying colors!

worth every penny
i have a crucial ssd and they are similar but i do believe this one is faster for basically the same price. no proper testing just going by feel/load times highly recommend

Recognized as a legitimate SSD. 970 EVO plus was NOT.
I installed this in my Asus laptop as a data drive along with a 970 EVO Plus as my os drive. My laptop, the Asus FX 502v, can take an m.2 SSD and a 2.5 form factor together in the same laptop. I installed the 860 first and then cloned my tiny (128GB) m.2 to the 860 using Samsung migration software. Next, I installed the 970 EVO plus, whose serial number was not recognized as a legitimate Samsung SSD to be sold in the US. I had to ultimately use A... Show More

MUCH better performance!
easy to clone to original SATA hard drive, using an external hard drive enclosure, but use the Samsung migration software; easy to swap out in laptop, which now runs much faster

Blinding Fast, easy Installation
This SSD is all its cracked up to be -- very fast (Im using a SATA-3 connection, 6GB/sec). Installation was a snap, especially with 2.5 to 3.5 adapter bracket B&H recommended. You do need to buy the Serial ATA cable as well (or equivalent if youre using this in a USB-3 connection. I have the drive strictly for fast data storage/access, so I did not have to move my Windows OS to it or any other software. But I have done that before with a previou... Show More

Easy Install, Easy Clone, Super Fast Results
This drive was installed on a HP desktop computer that is over 6 years old. The computer has 16GB of RAM and an I7 processor. The computer has never been able to realize its total processing power because it has been bogged down by a HDD. Once this new Samsung SSD was installed it has become super fast. Boot Ups and program startups are super fast. The installation is super easy and the cloning software that Samsung provides for free works flawle... Show More

Like a new PC.
I installed this drive in a Windows 10 PC that is about 10 years old (Intel Core 2 Quad [email protected], 8gB ram, 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive.) System startup was very slow, and then the desktop did not respond well for minutes after logging in. The CPU had spare cycles most of the time, the system was not running very low on memory. Using Resource Monitor I determined the disk was the bottleneck. The system disk queue lengths were climbing to over 20 ... Show More

Small investment transforms older PC!!
I picked up this 1TB 860 EVO SATA III SSD and, prior to installing, backed up all my data to an external storage drive, for safety. Next, using Samsungs easy to download software, I was able to quickly clone the previous HDD, including full Windows 7 operating system and all settings, bookmarks, software, etc. I then installed the new SSD in place of the old HDD, booted up the PC, ran a disc check and Windows update a couple of times and, once sa...

SSDs are the way to go
I owned a dell laptop Intel 7 processor with 16g memory and 1TB HDD. I was not satisfied with the HDD so I finally bought into my second Samsung SSD and all i wonder now is why i have waited so long. Now boot up times, opening apps is fast now. wait times are dramatically reduce. CON: No cables come with the SSD so you will need to purchase cabling to transfer everything over from your HDD to the SSD before installing it. No cables needed if you are going to do a fresh OS install.

Works Perfectly
Drive plugs in to my SATA cables fine. The separate Samsung drive software, which you can freely download from Samsung, ran without problems. The drive clone process (which includes the operating system) took about 4 hours. Windows boots up very quickly now. Havent had any problems running any applications. Note: The 2.5 drive may require an optional adapter bracket for 3.5 drive bays if your PC lacks as 2.5 drive bay.
