SAMSUNG 870 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

Easy to install and easy to use.

Samsung has been a reliable products for me. Upgraded our laptop with bigger capacity. Easy to install, used samsungs migration software and it was easy, just need to be patient on transfering files.

Worked with iMac 5K retina.

Great SSD for Macbook pro

The drive works well. These drives need to be initialized before use. This process can easily be searched. In this case, I was upgrading from a 1Tb M.2 to this 2Tb SATA III drive. Typically, I would use a drive cloner since the process is fast, and seamless. I decided to see if peoples complaints about the Samsung Magician software were valid. I had no problem with the software. I downloaded it, and once it was open, followed the on screen instructions. They very specifically state to have no other programs running. I also disconnected from the Internet in order to prevent push notifications. My main thought is how slow the process is. Transferring about 900Gb to the drive via a USB 3 enclosure took almost three hours at about 100Mbps. Once the copy process was completed, the computer automatically shut down. I removed the old disk and installed the new one. I turned the computer on and didnt even have to enter the BIOS. This was surprising since I went from M.2 to SATA III. Windows loaded normally, and my activation software didnt require reactivation which is why I normally clone the drive. The only program that detected a new configuration was my NAS backup program making me have to plug the laptop to the NAS via Ethernet in order to transfer the entire drive at a reasonable speed.

Very good price

Great performance on SATA3.

Lo instalé en una Mac book y ahora corre a velocidad de cohete espacial. Muy contento con el disco duro SSD. Carga el arranque de la compu en segundos

I have been using Samsung SSDs for a few years without any problems. I am not going into technical details as I dont have the expertise to test it. I am using this drive in an external drive enclosure and it works great. I have put Samsung 860 EVO drives in several of my computers for the main drive and it is a night and day difference in performance of the computers.

Easy to install.
