Samsung Laptop Hard Drive May Fail Soon

what a screaming hard drive best I have ever used way to go samsung!!!!!

Hard to find. B&H seems to come through where others fail.

When my Samsung Series 7 laptop started making loud noises, I knew I had a problem. If you've ever had a HHD fail, you know the sound I'm talking about. I ran to Bestbuy to pickup a SSD to replace my HHD and they didn't have the cable I needed. Dead in the water... I searched online for a USB 3.0 to 2.5 SATA III drive adapter cable and found some crazy expensive options. With a little more digging I found H&B Photo. They had the cable in stock at a great price and shipped it overnight to me. Within 24 hours the SSD was installed and I was up and running. NOW my machine is CRAZY fast and whisper quiet. Should have had the HHD fail years ago! Thanks H&B!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been purchasing Samsung storage devices for a long time now, I have never come across one yet that has disappointed me, leaving any type of negative image for the manufacturer. This Drive in particular is solid in its weight, which is totally fine to me, cause at least I know it is made well and can take a beating. I have personally dropped my drive in water, and put it through the ringer multiple times, and it still has yet to fail me. I am tech-savvy, so I know that the advertised speeds will only run in the best scenarios with compatible devices or hardware. If you want a trustworthy drive, look no further. I use this for school and have another one I use to load operating systems on computers that are in constant use. All I can say is, in my experience, Samsung storage devices have yet to fail me.

After a colleagues drive failed due to the great Samsung fail of 2023, I found myself holding my breath every time I plugged my extreme pro ssd in hoping my project files were still in tact.(And yes, I have more than one backup drive so nothing would be gone forever but my working drives are crucial to me.) I couldn't take it anymore and decided Glyph has a good track record with stable drives so paid the extra and got peace of mind.

I use it as a backup drive for EVERYTHING I have on my laptop knowing my laptop will fail on me any moment. It does what it says, portable. I dont travel with it a lot because even though its portable it still can be damaged if moved around too much. On the days that I do travel around I move a lot as I'm a skateboarder who does tricks even with a heavy bag on my shoulders so falling happens a lot even down a hill going 20+mph my bag hit the ground and it still operates smoothly.

Soon it will be gone- it's your last chance!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this SSD Drive to replace a old 500GB WD Blue. What I like about the Samsung Drive is the Magician Software.It allows me to clone my old drive using a SATA to USB. Once I put the new Samsung drive in my laptop. The laptop loaded windows faster than my spinning hard drive and my program responce is smoother and quicker.

I needed a redundant way to back-up my picture files. (I just had a hard drive fail) The Buffalo system does it automatically. I had a little trouble setting it up but a call to customer service took care of the problem. Their rep. talked me through the setup and it has worked as advertised.

It took a while to be willing to bite the bullet and pay for this but I'm so glad I did. I'm so grateful to have confidence in a hard drive that won't fail! Read/write speeds are very good.
