Samsung 840 Evo Series 1Tb Solid State Drive

I used this product to mount Samsung 840 EVO Solid state Disk in a HP Envy desktop. Product is solid, comes with needed screws and installs easily. You can not beat the cost either.

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!

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 have a Samsung 1tb 970 EVO Plus as a boot drive, OS and general purpose applications. I also have a Samsung 500gb 980 nvme as a games drive, but was quickly running out of diskspace. I decided to buy another Samsung 1tb 970 EVO Plus. It was an easy swap on the motherboard, but the performance is definitely a step up from the 980. All my games load just that much quicker than it did before. I know the specs are almost identical, but the 970 EVO Plus is definitely faster. I think pricewise, I paid the same for the older, better performing and larger capacity Samsung 970 EVO Plus as I did for the lower capacity and less performing Samsung 980 (which my wife got as an upgrade from a mechanical drive :-) ) Win, win. Highly recommended.

What’s not to like when it comes to Samsung SSD’s? I have quite a few, including the 860 EVO, older 840’s and 850’s EVOs and PROs that seem to last forever, as well as the newer NVMe 960 and 970 drives which are easily the fastest drives on the market. Samsung drives always hit or beat the rated speeds in both the excellent Samsung Magician software and in Crystal DiskMark. Samsung’s free data migration/cloning software is second to none as it works every time, and I even use it to keep current boot drive backups using older Samsung drives. If I could save a few dollars on some other brand, I’d still buy the Samsung because of the level of confidence and benefits of owning them vs. other brands.

Installed it as C:\ OS drive - replaced 840 EVO - met specs right out of the box - now, about a week later, it is showing the fastest add most consistent ATTO scores I seen on any SSD.

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.

I installed the Samsung 250GB Solid State Drive in my Lenovo desk-top computer. I moved Windows and all my application software to the solid state drive and all of my personal files to the internal disc drive. The disc drive is backed by an external disc drive. The resulting system is much faster. The installation went very smooth, although I had the entire system backed up on an external disk drive incase anything went wrong.
