Boot Windows Computer From Cd

I installed this 6tb to replace the 1tb drive that came with the computer. The Windows OS was on an a solid state drive and that helped make this an easy install. It worked perfectly on the first boot up after a minor change to the boot up instructions. It is a 7200 6tb drive at a great price and I highly recommend it.

As many of the other reviewers of this product mention, I too went to search for a driver. After wasting time doing that, I realized that when I restarted my computer, it just magically recognized the device and when I inserted a DVD, or CD, I was able to burn them to my computer. It seems to work on my Windows 7 and Mac operating systems just fine. I have a MacBook Pro without a built-in CD/DVD drive, so this works nicely. I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (mac) and Windows 7 in Parallels and have been able to burn discs nicely. I would advise forgetting about the usual driver headache that we come to expect when we get new devices and if your computer does not recognize/"see" the device in Finder (mac) or Explorer (windows) when you first plug it in, try a restart and try to plug it in and start playing with it! Sometimes we like to complicate things that do not ask to be complicated...at least that was my experience.

Fast boot-up. New life to an old computer.

Great SSD that I used boot my computer and programs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very fast boot windows. 5/5 wish i got more storage

Just what I needed in order to boot up my computer with a different operating system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had it for about a year now and it is so quick to boot into windows and load all my games. I love it.

Great looking motherboard. Perfect for my needs. Synced my RGB up first try and I didn't have to reinstall windows. My boot driver booted right up no issues. Once I get a beefy power supply, I might start overclocking for fun and i know this motherboard is up for it

I migrated from a 960 PRO, itself no slouch even by today's standards. But there are a number of scenarios where this TLC drive absolutely destroys the older MLC drive in my workflow: Copying large amounts of files, small or large. The new controller on this SSD probably helps quite a bit here. I'm very happy with the purchase, this was a totally painless migration of an existing Windows 10 boot SSD to this new one. Samsung offers migration software to download and it works really well. You just have to be aware that if you migrate a boot drive and reboot: (A) make sure you're telling your BIOS to boot from the new drive if you keep the old one in and (B) if you keep the old drive in, Windows will take it Offline. You have to go into Disk Management, delete the partitions on the drive and then create new partitions, then you can select to take the drive back Online and you're in business.

As usual for B&H the drive was delivered promptly, packaging was fine, boot time to windows compared to the old conventional drive is amazing. General task such as AV scans are dramatically reduced in duration. I used this drive in a Levono 330 laptop that had good specs except for not having an SSD. I used Macrium free edition with no issues to load my Windows OS and files. Thanks
