Samsung 970 Pro 512Gb Solid State Drive

Replaced my 500GB Samsung 970 Pro with this 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. Using Samsung's Magician software, I was able to quickly and easily clone my C: drive (boot drive) without any issue whatsoever. I have been using Samsung M.2 drives for many years. Just an all around excellent product and installion process. I highly recommend.

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.

Solid state drive worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the newest and fastest NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) M.2 drive from Samsung.  As a happy owner of Samsung's 970 NVMe series, I was doubtful that Samsung could deliver anything better than what I already had, but boy was I wrong!  The Samsung 980 Pro doubles the sequential read and write speeds of the Samsung 970 generation even at current Intel PCIe 3.0 settings.  As the next CPU's from Intel support PCIe 4.0 this drive is already future-proofed to deliver even faster speeds!   Upgrading to the Samsung 980 Pro will save you an incredible amount of time.  Compared with working from a hard drive, using this NVMe drive you will experience near-instant boot times, game and software loading times, as well as fast file opening.  Clone your existing drive in one step with Samsung's free software, and keep your drive healthy and up to date with Samsung Magician software which is built-in.  This drive runs cool and absolutely silent without any moving parts.  It is millimeters thin and compatible with both desktops and even laptops that support its M.2 2280 form factor. The only regret I have would be getting the even larger 1TB size as you'll want to put as many of your frequently used games and programs on this drive to make them run as fast as possible!  500 GB is enough to use as a system drive, I would probably say that the 250 GB size is a little too small these days to be practical.  With a 5-year warranty and a reputation to stand behind quality products, I have full confidence also in the reliability of the Samsung 980 Pro over time.

[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.

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.

This is just what the doctor ordered to accompany my new Mac Pro. It is not as fast as a solid state drive but more than adequate for editing HD or storing video files. I also have a bunch of RAW photos on there as well that are easily and quickly editable in Lightroom.
