Problem yet to be determined
After replacement of the smaller Samsung 860 EVO SATA III 2.5, and Windows 10 crashed and now fails to find boot sector on drive. Multiple attempts to repair have resulted with inability to boot using Windows 10. Thus problem cause unresolved if it is Windows 10 problem or a defective drive.

My third 860
Fast, runs cool, and so far Samsung EVOs have been bulletproof for me. This is my third 860, and I have another five 850s still going strong after two years. If you use this as a replacement for a mechanical hard drive, prepare for a nice boost in system speed. And as usual, B&H is tops.

So much faster
Installation was quick and the Samsung migration software worked like a charm. My startup and overall performance has skyrocketed. The time it takes for me to start up, login, and use my computer takes the same time just to go from the locked screen to type in my password on my old HDD.

Samsung 1TB SSD
I was so happy to find this product on sale shortly after Thanksgiving and have been very pleased with the service I received from B&H Photo. I am a very grateful customer and recommend this item to your other customers (especially new ones--due to your great customer service). (Chase)

Great drive, great migration software
I have two Samsung solid state 500 GB drives, one as an external for backup, and just replaced the internal hard drive in my dell laptop with a second one. The drives have sped up everything, the migration software was simple to use, and The Magician software sped things up even more

Great Big Drive
My work requires transfering many large files constantly and clunky HDDs are just too slow to keep up. So have 4 of these 860 EVO 4TB drives now and am able to get what I need done without waiting on my machines for that annoying green bar in Windows Explorer when I open up a folder.

Huge improvement over old driv
Being used to hold main user account in external USB 3.0 enclosure on new i3 Mac Mini. This is my first system with all SSD drives and I love how its completely silent even when doing video encoding. I have a 500GB 860 EVO connected the same way for my Windows Users under Bootcamp.

Almost Cloned my Boot Drive
I ran the software and it copied everything really well except my network and network files that appeared on my old Hard Disk. Makes your boot really fast and programs to load very fast. Wont do anything for your browsing as that is not disk dependent. Great product would buy again!

HP ProBook 4540 i5-3210M
Had thought it time to replace due to cpu just not up to many tasks and so long to boot up, but the Evo 860 has saved the day! Now any lag time seems external. Really impressed with speed and solid stable service. B&H service and speed is really nice, great company to work with!

True to spec. Perfect tool for creative laptops users
Samsung Magician confirmed the speed true to spec. File transfer speeds and access speeds are also true to spec. Install Samsung Magician beforehand. I had to activate and format this disk in diskpart from command prompt as Windows Disk Management did not display format option.

Perfect
Great product from pretty much the go-to brand for SSDs. Works exactly as expected. I had a panic moment when my M.2 screw broke in my motherboard (the head came off), but thankfully I had two M.2 slots. Thats no fault of the SSD, anyway; it was a screw included with the mobo.

SSD IS THE DRIVE FOR ME
AFTER REPLACING ONE OF MY REGULAR HARD DRIVES WITH THIS PUPPY, YOUR WAIT TIME AFTER NOT USING IT FOR A WHILE - IS GONE... AND READING AND WRITING - NOW THAT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD TOO... GO FROM A SKATEBOARD TO A LAMBORGHINI WITH SSD AND SAMSUNG MAKES THAT TRANSITION SO EASY...

Worthwhile Upgrade
Laptop boots much, much faster with Samsung EVO SSD compared with original HDD. Well worth the money. I couldnt get the Samsung Migration software to complete the job of moving to the new drive, though. Tried 5 or 6 times. EaseUS Todo (free) worked smoothly the first time.

Samsung Evo amazing
Since I started using 860 Evo I have had amazing boot up times and super fast gaming experience. I highly recommend this drive and B&H is super great with prices and shipping. Not sure about customer support because I have never gotten any defective products from here!!

Very happy with performance
Bought 2 Samsung 860 2TB SSD drives to perform caching in my Synology 1819 NAS, working great and a big improvement over the three raw 10 gb hard disk drive speed. Also, thank you B&h for verifying that the Samsung 2 TB 860 EVO SSD drives were supported by Synology.

Great so far
Using this on a Imac outboard for now until I get the nerve to take the screen out of the iMac. It works great so far except on a iMac that barely meet 4K editing compatibility. Loads fast even though using with the USB3 outboard adapter. Surprisingly well.

Samsung SSD
The drive works great. Took maybe 10 minutes to clone the old drive OS and data to the new drive and it runs flawlessly. It installed in the case in another 10 minutes. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to replace an existing drive in their computer.

BEST SSD
Samsung, still the best SSD, PERIOD. Outstanding performance at a GREAT Price. Benchmarks with RAPID MODE thru CrystalDiskMark are off the charts. If you need or are considering upgrading your Laptop or Tower, or doing a NEW Build, this is the SSD to buy.

Best SSD for your money, period
Absolutely the best deal from a cost per GB metric for SSDs, can always depend on samsung quality and of course the wicked fast speeds that SSDs bring. This drive works great as an OS boot drive as well as for your more intensive programs like photoshop!

Great SSD
The Samsung SSDs are great. And should you ever need warranty service Samsung is great on that too. Also, you cannot beat ordering from B&H Photo. I have bought several items from them over the years and they always have a great price and fast shipping.

Priced right and easy to install
Our Dell Inspiron 17 5767 laptop had a one T HD and booted/ran slow. I cloned the old drive onto the 860 EVO, opened the laptop and swapped the HD for the SSD. Now it runs faster. I only had one little screw left over after closing the case, success.

Finally have the space I need
Not sure why I didn't do this before, but I kept running out of space on my laptop. Upgrading was simple and fast using Samsung's migration tool.. The Samsung SSD I replaced with this worked flawlessly so I hope this one does too.. So far so good!!

Easy purchase decision
I have previously purchased the 840 Pro in 256 GB and 512 GB sizes. Needing a larger sample drive, I opted for a 1TB 860 EVO. Performance and build quality are reasonably on par with the pro versions for a significantly lower price. Solid product.
