Bueno

Does a good job.

Would be nice if it came with a SATA cable but no one really does that these days. Overall, good value, good performance.

I cant believe I waited so long to do this. Samsung made it SO EASY. Before purchasing, I found some blogs recommending various free cloning software for when I decided to finally make my move of upgrading my 5400rpm 3 year old laptop drive over to an SSD. I knew I would be downsizing from my 1TB drive to a 500GB for affordability just to get a solid state drive. My husband chose a PNY brand drive at first, but after reading reviews on the process of cloning an HDD to an SSD of a smaller size... we spent the extra $10 to buy this Samsung drive because of the included drive health monitoring software; not to mention, the cloning software seemed simple and straightforward. This was an understatement!! The Samsung drives manual (included) was mostly for show, directing us to a website under samsung,com in order to download Samsungs clone-ware, the aforementioned monitoring software, and some basic instructions on how to swap the drive. It couldnt have been more user-friendly. We didnt even need to read the instructions. The cloning software was super simple and handled all the partition resizing/downsizing for us. THE PROCESS: First step, we ran CHKDSK on our existing drive to be sure there were no existing errors that would carry over to the new drive.... then we simply used a SATA to USB-A cable to connect the new drive to my laptop externally (no enclosure needed), opened the Samsung clone-ware which auto-selected my existing hard drive for cloning, then I selected the external Samsung drive to export the clone to, and clicked START. Just under 6 hours later, I powered my laptop down, pulled the power sources (battery and plug), swapped the drives, and booted up to the fastest computer Ive owned in a long time without having to reinstall a single thing. Even all my software registrations and licenses copied over smoothly and Windows reported 0 errors when running a CHKDSK on the new drive after installation. Before buying the drive, I had downloaded one of the more popular cloning programs available.... and it was far more complex and left us open to making mistakes while cloning the partitions. Zero regrets and would purchase again and again for the software alone. The software is only compatible with a Samsung drive.

I used this drive to replace the original HDD in my wifes laptop by following YouTube videos.

I bought this specifically to help out my PS4 loading times. And it does, probably cuts downloading times by about 30% on average. Easy to install and havent had any problems with it.

I have a four-year-old i3, 8gb Ram, 1TB HDD memory Asus laptop. As you might have guessed, its so slow that the waiting time for the system to start-up, open the web browser or excel spreadsheet is killing my creativity. I need to wait for 5 to 10 minutes on average just to be able to start working on something.

I replaced a mechanical hard drive with this SSD drive. With the old hard drive booting was super slow and occasionally my computer would crawl because too many applications and services were trying to use the hard drive. With the SSD, boot up is super fast and I have no hard drive bottlenecks. The SSD is working fine after 1 month. The install was pretty easy but the instructions on what app to use was poor. You need to buy a SATA cable to connect your old drive as part of the data transfer. This install was easier than an install of a Crucial SSD that I installed in another computer. The difference was the ease of use of the data transfer software.
