Samsung 850 Pro 256Gb 2.5 Solid State Drive

I cloned this Samsung 256GB SSD 850 PRO drive from my Samsung 250GB SSD 850 EVO drive using my backup software. The system started with no problems. If this 256GB SSD 850 PRO is as fast and reliable as the 250GB SSD 850 EVO it is replacing, I will be extremely satisfied. Also, the PRO has a 10 year limited warranty. The 250GB SSD 850 EVO will replace the hard drive in my wife's laptop.

I've purchased 13 Samsung 850 Pro SSDs in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB and all are working perfectly. According to all the tests I've seen the 850 Pro has the best speed and endurance of all consumer SSDs with SATA interfaces. For me the reliability is worth the extra cost. If you need more speed look at the 950 Pro (M.2 form, PCIe interface, NVMe protocol) or upcoming 960 Pro.

I replaced the HD in my Toshiba with this Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD. Its amazing, it use to take 4 minutes to boot my machine, now it takes 40 sec.

I got the Samsung SSD 850 PRO 512GB. It's total quality at an affordable price. The "Migration" software was a breeze, just click and it cloned my old hard drive seamlessly. After cloning was done, just flip over the laptop pop open the cover for the HDD, remove some screw's and slip in your awesome Samsung SSD, pop the screw's in, replace the cover and your ready to compute at an incredible rate. Prepare to be shocked at the speed of this drive! You'll feel like a real Pro with the Samsung PRO SSD.

Replaced aging IDE Boot drive with Samsung 850 Pro 128GB. Cloned old drive over to new drive, changed boot in bios and was done. Very fast and best warranty in the industry.

I replaced my 1 terabyte hard drive with this samsung 850 pro 512 gb and its practically instant on and everything opens fast ,i have a dell laptop i5447 i5 windows 8.1 . The software that came with the SSD did not work properly on my machine so i bought the apricorn 3.0 upgrade kit For $ $That cloned the hard drive flawlessly .:) Great SSD drive .BH was a pleasant buying experience (fast).

I purchased this drive to upgrade my original 120 GB boot drive. Prior to purchase I examined specifications and reviews of many SSDs before deciding on the Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB drive. The Samsung 850 Pro had the best specs, warranty and reviews at the time among comparable SSDs. Cloning my Samsung 850 Pro with the old SSD was very straight forward and installing the new boot drive went without a hitch. The only issue developed when I used Samsung Magician to optimize my OS. I failed to realize that the optimization software disables windows backup service. I went to perform my weekly backup and was surprised by the lack of Windows backup function in Control Panel. A quick search revealed that by re-enabling and restarting the backup service my Windows backup was restored and working properly. At this time I have had no other problems with my Samsung 850 Pro drive and software. I hope it will continue to function correctly for many years.

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.
