Samsung SSD 870 EVO, 500 GB, Form Factor 2.5”, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black

Great upgrade for any aging hardware. From cold start to Windows 11 screen, 8 seconds. Speedy performance; reads and writes to the disc were quick and painless. Highly recommended.

This thing is the TRUTH! I had a seagate HDD 2tb that came with my dell 5770 inspiron laptop and it was SLOOOOW! It would take my computer so long to boot it was crazy! I did a few google searches on what to buy and watched a few youtube videos and boy I bought it here on amazon and figured out a way to install it and man my computer running real smooth! YOu will not be disappointed folks trust me! My insprion 5770 was purchased in 2018 and it's running like new with windows 11!

Samsungs are great drives. This one is to replace my backup drive that quit working. I had built one of my PCs on a budget and used Patriot 250 to build the OS on. I later bought a Samsung M2 for the OS that installed neatly on the board. So I initially cloned the Patriot to the Samsung. Later, when I used backup software, the M2 (Source Drive) listed as Drive 2. Weird. Since it is the C: drive for the OS. Thus my Patriot regular SSD (Now being used at Target Drive) backup drive, showed as Drive 1. I did this for over a year until my backup quietly failed. And then I realized the Patriot is smaller by 9GB. It is 223, the Samsung is 232. Before I came to that realization, I thought I had a software problem, so I reinstalled Discwizard (Note, you must have One Seagate drive for versions later that SeagateDiscWizard_28500) and then used an upgraded version. The problem went like this: clone/backup restarted into DOS then opened it's UEFI dialog and then the clone disk window opened. I looked like it was about to start copying. Then it just restarted. No error message was ever shown. The backup quietly failed. I saw with the Windows Disk Manager that the Patriot was too small for the partition backup from the Samsung. The fix was easy, Samsung drive is now backed up to Samsung all great. I mention this for anyone who has a phantom cloning failure. You probably just need to go shopping.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Still a gold standard for SSD drives. Fast and reliable.

Absolutley breathed new life in an old Lenovo laptop. Easy to install with the included software. My friend was quite impressed!!!

Calidad excelente, estandar de instalacion.

I only buy this brand. I tried others and they failed!

Just what I needed
