Samsung Laptop Boot From Usb Drive

PC or laptop will not boot due to faulty hardware? No problem - your data will not be lost. The 2.5/3.5" drive docking station connects to your PC / laptop and loads the hard drive as another drive so you access your coveted data! Connecting by usb or esata the transfer speeds do not disappoint. If there was a way to have the docking station powered over a usb cable without needing the power adapter that would be the only change I would make to this device. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

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?

My laptop had a 2TB Samsung EVO 970 plus system drive and I bought this WD black to put in a USB enclosure. But before I did, I ran Crystal Disk Mark on the Samsung, cloned the system to this drive and ran it again on this drive. My laptop is only PCI 3 so I wasn't expecting the stated performance, and no surprise it didn't make those numbers. But it did perform a little better than the Samsung and ran a bit cooler also. So I kept this WD black as the system drive and wiped the Samsung and put that one in the USB enclosure. Now it's a few weeks later and so far so good.

Replaced aging IDE Boot drive with Samsung 850 Pro 128GB. Cloned old drive over to new drive, changed boot in bios and was done. Very fast and best warranty in the industry.

I purchased this drive to upgrade my original 120 GB boot drive. Prior to purchase I examined specifications and reviews of many SSDs before deciding on the Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB drive. The Samsung 850 Pro had the best specs, warranty and reviews at the time among comparable SSDs. Cloning my Samsung 850 Pro with the old SSD was very straight forward and installing the new boot drive went without a hitch. The only issue developed when I used Samsung Magician to optimize my OS. I failed to realize that the optimization software disables windows backup service. I went to perform my weekly backup and was surprised by the lack of Windows backup function in Control Panel. A quick search revealed that by re-enabling and restarting the backup service my Windows backup was restored and working properly. At this time I have had no other problems with my Samsung 850 Pro drive and software. I hope it will continue to function correctly for many years.

I used this as the boot drive for desktop. The computer boots much faster and programs load more quickly. I have used Samsung SSD's before and found them to be excellent.

I used to have a Samsung SSD as my boot drive, so I was a bit skeptic to switch to a NVMe drive, since i didn't think it would change anything at all. But boy, am I glad I did the change. Bootup time was cut down to seconds, and most of my programs seem to respond faster.

[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 bought this to replace my Gigabyte Laptop’s main boot drive, it reads and writes about 7-800mbps faster, from 6200 on the original to now 7000 on this drive. Highly recommend, I have purchased two external crucial SSD drives in the past and they too are fast and also reliable.

I bought one of these gems to upgrade the hard drive in my laptop I use for audio production. It really speeds up the boot process and allows my DAW to perform orders of magnitude better than the old hard drive.
