Samsung 860 Evo Ssd For Pc Or Laptop

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.

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this 980 Pro SSD to upgrade the hard drive in my son PC. I figured it will be a big performance improvement since the drive in his PC was a Samsung 860 EVO SATA III and this one is PCIe 4.0 NVMe m2 drive. I cloned the Samsung 860 SSD and no problem encountered; Removed the old drive and installed the 980 Pro drive. I was impressed with the improved performance. Boot up time, opening applications, disk related activities were much faster. I ran a quick benchmark of the Samsung 860 and Samsung 980 Pro using CrystalDiskMark and the differences was 6-7 times faster. Since this computer doesn’t support PCIe 4.0, I imagine this 980 Pro SSD will perform even better with PCIe 4.0 interface. This drive is gear toward power users or gaming pc.

i bought 970 evo plus 1tb ssd a month ago nearly im very impressed with its performance its speed is as advetised even a bit more (read/write) its my second samsung ssd i use one as boot drive(980 pro 500 gb) but my pc is also decent enough (sadly not pcie 4 but still ok ish) specs 9700kf 32 gb ram 500gb samsung 980 pro 500 gb 1tb 970 evo plus 1tb motherboard asus prime z390 m plus (pcie 3 sadly but still very fast for me) overall samsung is great brand i use samsung phones for years i never had problems with any samsung product .even my old pc ram is samsung 2gb (been using it for over 10 years ) samsung is very good

Good SSD drive almost as Samsung EVO ssd for less price.

I now have multiple Samsung products: phone, laptop, internal and externa SSDs. The hardware has been consistently excellent...zero complaints. So far, the 970 Evo SSD recently purchased is purring along as I have come to expect. NO disappointments here! I purchased a Galaxy Book Pro 2 with only a 256GB SSD with the intentions of replacing it with a 1TB drive. I got the best of both worlds when to my pleasant surprise, B&H gave me a gift certificate for $100 with the purchase of the laptop. I then applied that to the cost of the 1TB 970 Evo....coming out way ahead and have a much faster SSD that would have come installed in the laptop. I most certainly would highly recommend this product!

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.

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.
