Samsung EVO SSD's are reliable, fast and will give new life to an old computer with a spinning drive. The cloning software is easy to use and never fails to completely copy an old drive of any type to a new Samsung SSD. If you are considering trying to save a few bucks by purchasing a QVO instead of an EVO, DON'T DO IT! The QVO uses a much less reliable storage cell structure and will begin to deteriorate fairly soon after install. That is why the EVO is warrantied for (5) years and the EVO is only (3) years. Don't learn the hard way. Stick with the EVO for the best experience in SSD reliability and performance.

If you have any basic PC modding skills, the installation of this drive will be simple. This 1TB 860 Evo is available from multiple retailers as of this writing for $109. The purchase is a no-brainer if you currently have a traditional HDD. Not only will your rig boot in mere seconds, but even things like video editing runs smoother and faster, especially when editing with multiple synced cameras. All around speed increase going from HDD to this SDD is absolutely noticeable in quite literally every aspect of machine operation. It's everything people claim it to be. The free Samsung Data Migration software DOES work like a charm, but you must make sure that you close all apps that are running in your SysTray. I actually had a disk clone failure the first time I tried to clone my HDD with the Samsung software. Turns out that any non-windows apps that are running in the background (in your SysTray) are actively accessing your HDD and MUST be closed in order for the disk to be cloned. No big deal, clone worked perfectly on the second try. It does take roughly 1.5 hrs per 500gb for the cloning process. Don't forget to grab a USB to SATA adapter so that you can clone! Get the $4.xx one on eBay, it works perfectly.Read full review

Installed a 1TB drive in each of my two Win10 notebooks. (One is HP, the other is Samsung.) No longer have to wait several minutes for my notebooks to boot up, now they boot up in about 30 seconds. I used Macrium Reflect free software to clone my HDDs to the new SSDs and it worked perfectly. Using about a month now, very satisfied. YouTube SSD installation videos were very helpful.

It works exactly as it should and was easy to clone using Samsungs online free cloning software. You will , however need to know what you are doing, and it takes some time to clone from mechanical drive to an SSD. The SSD makes load time super fast. Went from taking minutes to only seconds, and everything is ready to go just that fast.

These SSD’s are great products however installation with Windows10 can be very frustrating. The current Data Migration software almost always reaches 99% only to fail. After many attempts, research & speaking with Samsung, you can be left with a notion you’ve got a defective drive. So here’s some help if you find yourself in the same situation. Download the older version ( 3.1 ) of the Data Migration as it has so far worked flawlessly. I gave only four stars only because of the poor product support but I do love these SSD’s as they are among the best for quality & pricing.

As far as SATA III SSD's go these are top tier (apart from Samsung's own 860 Pro ones). All around excellent performance and reliability, especially for the price. Using this as a secondary drive for games and other media, and load times are hardly any different from an m.2 NVME PCI-E 3.0 drive. Can't recommend enough!

Very good product. With this SSD, my desktop PC is much faster, even though it has 6 years old RAM and intel processor. This PC is faster than my new desktop PC with 1 TB hard drive (3 months old). They both are the same brand.
