Acer 17.3 Laptop Windows 10 Ssd 512

I upgraded the hard drive in my main business laptop (a dual-core 17.3 Windows 7 Pro machine) with this SSD and the difference in performance is dramatic!

Just installed the new Seagate 500 GB SSD into an Acer Aspire E15 laptop. Reinstalled W10 onto the laptop and it boots really fast now. The battery life of the laptop is significantly improved as well. I was able to purchase the drive on sale so it was a great deal.

Worked great with my Windows 10 laptop. I did not need to use the Driver DVD.

This is just what was needed for more flexibility during presentations. Works great with my Windows 10 laptop.

Be using it to connect a laptop to Ethernet and work works without any issues in Windows 10.

Pros: Very fast startup, Very easy to install using Samsung's Data Migration Software. I installed the 850 PRO by migrating my boot HDD to the 850 PRO and replacing the HDD (my C: drive) with the much faster 850 PRO. Everything went very smoothly in my Windows 10 AMD desktop. Cons: Samsung could do a better job on instructing the user on how to prepare the system prior to the start of data migration. For example there should be a set of instructions informing the user to make sure the AHCI driver is loaded on the Windows 10 system prior to the start of data migration. If you don't use AHCI you will not get the maximum performance from your ssd. If you install the AHCI driver after migrating the data to the ssd and then replacing the hdd with the ssd, you may lose the ability to boot the computer from the ssd. Windows 10 does not install the AHCI driver in a fresh install of Windows 10. Samsung should have step by step instructions on what to do to make sure we get best performance for which the ssd was designed.

I'm using it as the D drive in an Intel NUC, with Windows 10 installed on an SSD C drive. This WD Blue model is an SMR drive. I don't know that I would recommend it as a primary system drive but I have never tried that. I needed a high capacity low profile second drive. This one works great for that kind of usage.

I used it to format an SSD, then copy music to it with Windows 10. I am using it with the same drive in my equinox. No complaints.

Worked great. I had a problem, with Windows 10 recognizing the drive, but that's a MS problem. Bought an SSD dock and it's rockin anddd it's basically turns it into a portable 2TB ssd. Lovin it!

This SSD was my first one, and the speed has been dazzling. Windows 10 boots in only a couple seconds, and programs open in what feels like instantaneously. If you value your time and don't like waiting for that program to open, this is the one for you. The 850 Pro is one of the best a consumer can get though I suspect that will change very soon. Still I'm very happy with it, has a 10 year warranty on it. It is pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for. I wouldn't tell you to buy it if it's going to cost more than either your CPU or GPU though.
