SAMSUNG870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM

This is a large capacity SSD (4TB) that is fast and reliable. Just be sure to configure the partition(s) as GPT and not as MBR as to allow you to use the entire 4TB capacity of the drive. I'm using it in a Dell XPS 8960 Desktop set up with two 2TB partitions with no issues.

Good SSD for my laptop it’s faster then my old HDD it runs all my apps better and it’s a good price it’s quiet and it runs my system faster it and the Samsung app helps me update my SSD

I'm really happy with my Samsung SSD! The performance is outstanding, and it has significantly improved the speed and efficiency of my computer. Installation was a breeze, and I noticed a huge difference in boot times and file transfers right away. The reliability and durability of the Samsung brand are evident, and I have full confidence in its long-term performance. Overall, it's a fantastic product that I highly recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their storage!

Pretty painless to install. Was a very good price and I am pleased with it. The performance was great. The speed and quality were also great. Didn't have to install any drivers it was just plug and go. Happy with it and no issues in getting it to work.

I purchased this to update a good running Windows 10 PC with upgraded RAM and a relatively fast quad-core processor being held back by the HDD. Any time a program was opened there was a delay due to the HDD. Windows "task manager" illustrates the HDD vs SSD for a typical large program.The job was comically easy and the results are a drive that now reads 5-6x and writes 7-8x faster than the HDD (per the Samsung software metrics) with no observed downside (other than the cost and a couple of hours of my time).I'm not a computer tech and have no special skills or equipment. Here's how I did it.1. PrepareKnow how to open a PC and work in it safely. Know the basics. The drive will need power via a power cable and signal to the main board via a SATA cable. I used the power and SATA cables from the original drive, and removed the HDD to "archive" in case of future failure / retrofit (I do not need a 2nd drive for storage). Decide how you intend to mount a smaller 2.5" drive in place of a 3.5" original (buy an adapter). Easiest way I found to clone the drive is to buy an aftermarket USB to SATA drive "adapter" cable. This allows the old drive to stay installed as-is while connecting the new SSD via USB to do the drive clone. Know what kind of USB ports your machine has. Mine has USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 to SATA cable is usually not backward compatible.2. Clone the driveDownload and install the (free) Samsung "Data Migration" software from their website. Make sure when you open this software nothing else is running, and you don't run anything else while it is running. Connect the USB to SATA cable to the SSD and then plug it into the PCs USB port. The software should detect it. If it does not I have no idea what you would do. Then it's as simple as picking the source drive, picking the new SSD as the destination drive, and clicking OK. This cloning process can take 4-5 hours easily on even a moderately large drive (1TB). Don't panic, just let it run. At points it may appear to have not started or not finished but it is likely working fine. At the end, the PC will shut down.3. Install the driveWith the power off and your hands grounded, open the case and unplug both the power and SATA cables from the old drive. Remove the old drive. Physically mount the new drive. Connect both the power and SATA cables to the new SSD. Power the machine back up.4. Check functionIf you did it correctly, the PC should boot back up, and a lot faster than before. Download and install the (free) Samsung "Magician" software from their website. This has all sorts of neat diagnostic tests to show speed, update firmware, etc.Rejoice in spending a little bit of money to get a huge performance increase and not needing to go out and buy a new computer.**UPDATE**I performed the same upgrade on an older but still very good laptop computer than has very similar issues and results. It was even easier than the desktop PC as the original 2.5" HDD was the exact same physical size. I couldn't be happier with the performance and ease of this upgrade. The computer boots up in seconds. It runs quietly and cool. Every function works perfectly and noticeably (a lot) faster. This appears to be the best performance upgrade you can give an older computer with an OE HDD.**UPDATE #2**Base results are 5-6x read and 7-8x write faster than the HDD. When selecting SSD "Full Performance" mode (which uses PC RAM to speed things up further), results jump dramatically. I'm seeing another 6x read and write speed increase over the SSD "Standard Mode" results (which is a whopping 30x read and 42x write over the HDD). I've been running multiple machines daily on this setting for months and months with absolutely no issues whatsoever. These PCs work unbelievably good since installing these SSD drives and switching to "Full Performance" mode.

I recently tried out this product and overall, I’m pretty satisfied. It does exactly what it claims to do, and it’s pretty straightforward to use. The quality feels decent, and it seems like it’ll last a while. Price-wise, it’s fair—not too expensive but not super cheap either, which makes sense for what you’re getting.One thing I really liked is how convenient it is; I didn’t have to spend too much time figuring it out. It worked well right out of the box. Of course, like anything, there’s always room for improvement, but nothing major stood out as a dealbreaker.If you’re on the fence about getting it, I’d say it’s worth a try. It’s a solid choice overall!
