Samsung 860 Evo 500Gb Laptop

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.

very good samsung ssd 500GB 970 EVO Plus

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.

Bought this with a new Samsung 860 Evo SSD to clone the HDD in my MacBook Pro. Worked perfectly. Great quality and well built.

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 got this one because I was having problems with a samsung 860 evo. I have used * PRO ssds until that one. The write speeds were so slow ( 14 Mb/s ), the computer would not always reboot properly. I need to talk to samsung about that old one, but this new 860 pro is doing fantastic (270 Mb/s) on the same computer.

Easy to install a Samsung 860 EVO SSD into it to make a great external hard drive.

Very good price and performance. Switched from Samsung 860 Evo and so far so good. No difference in speed or performance, but better value overall.

I use this equipment on Samsung 500GB Evo 2.5 SSD's and have never had an issue with StarTech products. This adapter is very well made and has a little amber light that flashes when it is communicating. Great. I now own three and will buy more later. I leave them connected to the drives.

my samsung 970 evo plus 500gb nvme m.2 is no doubt the best ssd! i've used mine since shortly after it first came out and i've used/use others as well. my 970 still scores top speeds on tests where as other ssds i use tend to get worn out and slow down over time. i ran smartctl yesterday and my 970 has 51 tb written and still scores 2,900-3,200 reads/writes when tested. i believe it will live up to the 300tbw lifespan that the 500gb has. sure is good nowadays to be able to trust that something works because many are a let down but not samsung! excellent ssds! highly recommend!!
