Samsung 500GB 860 EVO SATA III M.2 Internal SSD
UPC's:
Updated 128GB SSD with Samsung 500GB SSD
The 500 GB SSD is up and running successfully. This was my first upgrade on a desktop computer. Using the Samsung Magician and Samsung Migrate utilities I was able to replace my old 128GB SSD drive with the new 500GB drive. I did the migration via USB 3 SATA connector and cloned the old C Drive to the new SSD. When I replaced the Old drive with the new one in my HP Envy 740 and rebooted the desktop the new drive automatically started as the C Drive. The whole process took about 2 1/2 hours to complete. I am very pleased with the results.

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.

Works great!
Ordered this based on reviews and that it is supposed to be more reliable than the QVO series. B&H shipped right away and it showed up the next day. This went into a Dell Inspiron laptop whose hard drive had died. Looked up how to remove and install a hard drive from the Dell website. A word of caution - just be sure to see the direction of the old hard drive and mount similar as it is easy to flip the drive. Downloaded the Windows 10 install o... Show More

Blackmagic 4k RAW
This drive works with Blackmagic Production 4k camera. It even allows you to shoot in RAW which my other SSD that cost me twice as much didn't allow.

860 EVO 1TB INT SSD M.2 SATA 2280
Installation was quick, painless, and trouble-free. Samsung's software made data migration a breeze; less than 5 minutes to transfer almost 800GB to this drive.

Fast and Reliable
I use this as a scratch disk in conjunction with the 970 EVO nVME drive as a boot drive. As a video editor, this is the perfect scenario for fast and efficient editing.

Great drive, great price at B&H
This is a great drive at a very reasonable price from B&H. It installed in a Windows 10 PC without any problems. The Samsung Magician and Migration software is easy to use. The drive is fast.

2TB SSD replaced original 256GB SSD on ThinkPad X240
So far, so good... Bought this 2TB unit during post-Thanksgiving cyber-sales for the additional capacity to replace the original 256GB 2.5 SATA3 SSD in a Lenovo ThinkPad X240 laptop PC. Trickiest part of the upgrade was opening the X240 slowly and carefully for access to the internal 2.5 SSD compartment (online videos are available that show how to do this). Manually performed a clean install of Microsoft Windows 10 operating system (OS), down... Show More

This is the best least expensive way to upgrade a computer!!
My deskside system got several years of extra life from this upgrade. Replacing your C: drive with a SSD will give your system a performance boost and is much easier and less expensive than upgrading CPU's or motherboards. Cloning the old 1TB C: to the 1TB SSD took about 2.5 hrs, but after it finished I rebooted, after interrupting boot to change the boot device to the SSD, and was up and running with no issues. I highly recommend this to anyone who is semi proficient with computers!

Best SSD out there
Just wish they made it in higher capacities. It's the best, most reliable SSD option. Great product.

turned my old lap top into a rocket!
Samsung Migration app that comes with ssd worked really good. (Sata cable is needed B&H has good ones cheap) The boot speed and functions increased by at least 4 times faster. Only having 4gb ram, decided to add 8gb more and now Windows 10 works much better. For less than $200 (ssd, sata cable, and 8gb ram) I have made my older (2013) laptop run like a newer machine....Awesome!

This is our go-to drive from B&H
The 860 EVO is a great drive and B&H typically has the best price, shopping experience and quick shipping. Will continue to order this and other products from B&H.

Better than expected
Replaced a standard Hitachi 360gb hdd with this Samsung ssd knowing that speed would improve. I timed hard starts with hdd and it took 00:01:45 to get to login screen minimum. I mirrored drive and installed ssd and first start took 00:00:16. I am impressed to say the least, guess I expected it to shave startup time to half. Also the computer will play GoPro videos now where previously the hdd and I3 processor would not play 2.4K GoPro footage.

Best SSD Around!
I previously had the 2TB version of this same drive and loved it, but I needed more space. This drive is amazingly small and quiet, and boy is it fast! I love it and you will too!

Lots of room
I replaced my 840 EVO with this. Works great in my laptop. Easy to install and used the Samsung software to clone my old drive to this.

Great SSD so far. Software and instructions were useless.
The 2TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD has been great so far. The downloadable cloning and Magician software were mostly useless in my case. The cloning software will not clone a source hard drive that has been formatted as a dynamic drive. However, there are a few (most can't clone a dynamic disk) cloning software packages on the internet for ~$50 that will allow one to do this. The installation instructions that come with this SSD are very limited so, as ... Show More

Great purchased. Simple install. B&H delivery amazing.
This along with 16 GB of RAM has brought a 2011 Macbook Pro back to life and now it zips along. No more spinning wheel.

Working great, just ordered a 2nd
After pulling the trigger on the big boy about a year ago I recently ordered a 2nd a these 4TB SSDs. It's cheaper now. This replaces my last remaining 7,000RPM SATA HDD in my 4 drive workstaion. Losing some space going from 8TB down to 4TB I decided was worth it for the gain in speed, trying to squeeze out a little more from my old system. I now have about 11 Samsung drives total used in several computers and so far they have been great. No problems. I quickly clone each system drive so in case of an issue I can revert back and keep working

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.

What I was hoping for.
Easy to clone and install with a little help from Google and Youtube. Computer noticeably faster. Well worth the effort.

Custom build
I used this for my first build and let me say it is much faster than any other computer I have used. The main thing I use this for is games and video work and transferring speeds are great!

Fast, reliable, great drive
I have several of these. Nice software utilities (Samsung Magician) and benchmark performance. Best drive to get if you're limited to SATA interface.

Very fast, easy data migration
Samsung solid states are the fastest and they're software makes it easy to migrate data from hard drives. They make 5 year old computers run like brand new.

A Worthy Update for an Older Machine
Needed an inexpensive but reputable performance SSD to help out a legacy 2008 PC that was an absolute slug with an original 750GB, 5400 rpm HDD. This 1TB drive, at a bargain price, works nicely, speeding up this ol' PC, running Windows 10 with 4GB of RAM. It's not our first Samsung SSD, but the first non Pro model, and it nicely fits the bill to provide an inexpensive yet fast upgrade for an old warrior unit. It may not have the read/write cycles that more expensive units have, but it will suffice nicely for this application. If that's what you need, it's strongly recommended!
