Samsung 860 Evo Solid State Drive 500Gb Capacity

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.

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.

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

very good samsung ssd 500GB 970 EVO Plus

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.

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

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.

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.
