Samsung 860 Pro 4Tb Solid State Drive

After reading Lionel's recent review here, I spoke with Samsung customer service and was assured their data migration software would work with the 860 pro.� So I took a chance and purchased this item.� Just completed replacement of the 120GB SSD system disk in my W7 desktop and the process worked perfectly, aided tremendously by having a Sabrent EC-DFLT external hard drive enclosure that was housing a 3.5" drive used for storage.� After removing the 3.5" drive from the Sabrent and replacing it with the 860 Pro, I installed the Samsung data migration software, which did update after its installation, from version 3.1.0.1 to version 3.1.0.3.� I then ran the data migration software - the process took 17 minutes and prompted me to install the 860 pro after it finished.� I powered down, swapped the 860 Pro for the old 120BG disk, rebooted, and the system started with no apparent change except the system disk now has 380GB of free space. On the basis of this experience, I recommend this product and send Kudos to Samsung for providing the very helpful software.

We use the Samsung 860 PRO SATA III 2.5 Internal SSD on our Atomos recorders. This drive is very fast and for 4K shooting it's excellent, solid and reliable. We never had an issue when using on location, and in post production we hook it up to the Lacie 2 Big Dock via Thunderbolt for fast editing and offloading. The prices are going down on these SSD's, if you need fast, high capacity drive go for the Samsung Pro line.

[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.

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.

Have had the Samsung 830 Pro's, the 840 Pro's. the 850 Pro's and now the 860 Pro. Never had a problem and they are all still in use today...

This device makes a solid state drive (SSD) compatible for a Mac Pro. The hard drive slides that come with the computer only mount 3.5 inch drives. This enables you to take advantage of the new SSD's fast speed and reliability. It comes with four mounting screws so that you can mount your SSD (sold separately).

This is my second WD 1 TB drive, and I use them to both store and backup photos from my MacBook Pro (with solid-state storage). Even with lots of RAW files, the transfer rate seems fast. It is small, and easily stored when not in use. There is nothing about this drive that I would change.
