Samsung Laptop Boot Disk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I got my first SSD (Samsung 860 EVO), I was amazed of the speed from a disk drive to SSD upon Windows boot up and in game boot ups and loading screens. This new Samsung 990 Pro is blistering fast. This is my first NVMe M.2 SSD and it is quite an upgrade to my gaming PC. Samsung Data Migration made it easy for me to copy over from one SSD to another SSD. I had also done this for the disk drive to SSD with no problems. Love the software. The changes in speeds is astonishing. See pictures for Performance Benchmarks from Samsung Magician. I am starting to get into streaming, so I can't wait to get into content creation and edit my videos with this SSD as well. With the increase in resolutions of these videos, you almost need a fast NVMe to work on 4k/8k videos now a days. Samsung has done it again. I'm going to keep buying Samsung SSD's because they have been reliable thus far. I am extremely happy and excited to push the limits of this SSD.

I use this cable easily duplicated my laptop hard disk into a brand new one. With this cable I could also boot from a 3.5 SATA disk.

I replaced my old boot disk with this and it speeds up everything. So far it is much better than my old disk.

I cloned my Samsung 980 Pro OS Boot drive using Macrium Reflect, and found no boot issues with the 990 Pro. It is fast, and is compatible with Samsung Magician. What's not to like?

Disk arrived amazingly quick (next day!) I love the disk, except I never did get it set up for over provisioning. Samsung could do a better job with software to facilitate this. Even so, I'd still buy this SSD again. As always, BH Photo is my go-to provider.

Easy to install, I just cloned my existing boot disk, installed and I was up and running. The drive is pretty fast I measured 1500mb on an older Dell 9th gen.

This is a good value for regular data storage. If you want a somewhat faster boot disk, suggest the MX mode.

Mind-blowingly fast. Makes my old 10k Raptor seem like a floppy disk in comparison. Boot times for Windows 7 reduced from 3-5 minutes to 20-30 seconds. Heavy-duty applications like Photoshop and 3DSMax open in the blink of an eye. With the jury still out on real-world performance increases of NVMe, I think SATA3 SSDs are still your best bang for the buck.

Replaced the regular boot drive in my desktop. I cloned the drive. Placed the new disk in the desktop, and it booted as if nothing had changed! Nice thing is, it boots much faster, and I don't hear the drive spin up noise like the original disk used to do.

I use this drive to create a disk image of my c: drive on my laptop. Easy to use.
