The best SSD I’ve ever used! It works a treat for Microsoft Flight Simulator because updates for that game are big and clunky. I think it’s fair to say that this SSD will keep me going for a long time yet. The only reason it didn’t work at first was just me being an idiot and forgetting to connect up the SATA power.

Bought to replace existing 4Tb spinning hard drives in my music replay systems. Installation as expected; unplug old drive, plug in new. Copy data to new drive. Haven’t performed any speed tests, but the SSDs certainly seem to respond better than the old spinners. SSDs are definitely quieter, just as expected.

So … pleasingly uneventful. No drama, no issues, everything worked exactly as expected.

I’ve bought Samsung hard disks, USBs and smaller SSDs in the past, and will continue to use their products in future.

Hard drive went on ps4 pro. Literly downloaded software from sony unscrewed old hard drive and installed this new super quick ssd. Starts programs in half the time. Raging didnt buy bigger capacity one

These hard drives are excellent value for money, this is now the 8th one I have used to upgrade old hard drives.

Great SDD. High quality package and works very well. Performance boost on a Windows 10 PC.

Copied hard drive to ssd. Then swayed memory RAM. Then reset the bios. The result went from 27 minutes bootup time with hard drive to what the video shows. About half a minute. Going to a reputable make and speed of ssd like this one will make a very big difference to the overall speed of your computer. Do not buy cheap unbranded ssd drives.

Needed to use as a back up for music and videos. Works fine, no problems with it.

Pros:
-Significantly faster and less likely to corrupt than an HDD
-Silent, will go well with a silent PC
-Lightweight, won’t make your case heavy like an HDD might
-quick and easy setup

Cons:
-probably will be much cheaper in the next few years
-If data is corrupted, it’s hard to get back, I’ve heard some have bad quality control
-Not the actual size it advertises, for example my 2TB is actually 1.81TB

Overall highly recommended!

Have tested severel times after installing it on a Thinkpad sata 3 laptop with new Windows 10 Pro, Low 80Mb/s write speed.
Have returned it back, no good as it was specified over 540MB/s, that’s a huge difference
Samsung is not so great as it used to be, unfortunately.

At the price this is one of the best internal SSDs available. I use these as system drives in several laptops where they perform perfectly and fast. They more or less reach the top speed which Sata III is capable of so unless you can fir a PCI drive they’re about as fast as you can get. I’ve had no problem with failures – none at all. Several reviewer have commented on low continuous write speeds for very large transfers and this is a fact however it isn’t a limitation for most applications unless you have a need to frequently write large (>1GB say) files which most people don’t. For everyday use on a laptop they speed up performance over the usual slow spinning HDD by around a factor of 4, a very noticeable improvement. Most file transfers are much smaller in any case and read speeds are never impacted.

Being a SATA SSD rather than a high-performance NVMe means that out and out performance is limited by the form factor.

I purchased this drive for it’s local storage capacity, and for this it does well, and performance isn’t too shabby – a benchmark when new returned 55,664 read IOPS and 34,912 write IOPS and a respectable sequential read throughput – though writes can sometimes be less impressive, sometimes performing 485MB/s and other times less than half that.

However, after months of use the drive is still working perfectly, and the performance benchmarks are still performing well.

This may be pricey compared to other brands, but you are paying for a trusted brand, and the excellent Samsung Magician software, for a drive that offers good reliability and reasonable performance.

I bought this SSD as a replacement/upgrade to our old ‘Late 2012’ 27″ iMac, after it started to cough and splutter a bit. I used it with a cradle to make is easier to secure it safely within the chassis and there are loads out there that perform this job well. (If you’re interested, this is the one I used: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07QVX8TWJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). This new drive has greatly improved the performance and usability of the iMac. Before the upgrade I was thinking it was barely useable, particularly comparing it to my newish work machine, the drive has breathed new life in to the iMac. Tested drive performance is about 3x faster with the new SSD but this performance is most noticeable in the overall usability – booting, opening and closing apps etc.
At 70 you can’t really go wrong, great value for money, and having used external Samsung SSDs before, I’ve never experienced any hardware issues at all. Highly recommended.

I installed two 1Tb drives on two laptops. A 12 years old Vaio with 512 GB HDD and a 3 years old Lenovo Ideapad 320 i7 with 1TB HDD. The main reason for the replacement was that both laptops were extremely slow, for example a restart of Lenovo could take up to 5 minutes and for the Vaio anything up to 10 minutes. Starting an app such as Firefox took forever and installation of OS upgrades took in excesses of few hours and frequently failed to complete.
After replacing their hard disks with this SSD the restart now takes less than 30 seconds for both laptops and the update of OS takes minutes.
To copy the existing disks to new ones I purchased a USB 3.0 to SATA Adaptor (ELUTENG 50cm) and downloaded Macrium Reflect. The process of mirroring HDD to SDD for Lenovo using the USB 3.0 took less than 2 hours and for the Vaio over a USB 2.0 took 6 hours.
I replaced the disks and both laptops have been in use for the past couple of weeks. The performance has been great, and the Vaio laptop acts as fast as a new one despite being 12 years old.
A word of warning I purchased the disks each for 72.97 but they are now 84.50 and increase of 11.57 over two weeks.
