Samsung 500Gb Internal Sata Solid State Drive

If you are installing an internal Solid State Drive to your desktop computer, you'll need this SATA wire unless you are able to scavenge one off another attached device that you no longer use. It attaches to the back of the SSD (or other SATA device) and to the mother board.

I purchased this to install a new Samsung 500GB 860 EVO SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD in an old HP 530 with Win 7 Pro. It worked flawlessly. It also has a clean looking blue led on the corner of the SATA connector that illuminates when connected to a USB port that was not in the description. I would definitely recommend this adapter cable and purchase again if I happen to misplace this one.

I recently got a SanDisk 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive) and used a drive cloning device to clone my old 1TB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to the new SSD. It works wonders in my 15 year old computer! It really speeds up drive-related activities, perhaps as much as 3 or 4 times faster. I think my old HP laptop computer is either a SATA or SATA II type, so I suspect those with a SATA III system would see even better speed results when going from a HDD to a SSD. Gotta love it!

We use the Samsung 860 PRO SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD on our Atomos recorders. This drive is very fast and for 4K shooting it's excellent, solid and reliable. We never had an issue when using on location, and in post production we hook it up to the Lacie 2 Big Dock via Thunderbolt for fast editing and offloading. The prices are going down on these SSD's, if you need fast, high capacity drive go for the Samsung Pro line.

It fits the Samsung 1TB 860 EVO SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD drive perfectly and work great as an external drive for photo editing on a Mac.

I purchased this product to move the Windows virtual machine that I run on my MacBook Pro under VMWare Fusion off my internal storage because I was running out of space on the laptop's solid state drive. While I haven't run benchmarks, it appears it to start up and run the Windows apps as fast (or maybe only very slightly slower) than from the Macbook's internal solid state drive. It is an excellent product for this application.

Solid state drive worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can't figure out why I was opposed to ordering my new computer with a Solid State Drive instead of a HDD. Perhaps I was leery of the technology. I since replaced the HDD with the Samsung 860 Pro Solid State Drive. Before it to several minutes for the system to boot, now it is almost instantaneous. The overall performance of my system has increased 100 fold. Kudos to Samsung for their continuously innovative products. They made me a believer.

the samsung is a reliable fast solid state drive, using them for workspace while editing video really speeds up your workflow and rendering times.
