Samsung Laptop Hdd Password Frozen

The Samsung 1TB Nvme is one of the best HDD I have even purchased.

My Samsung often requires reboot... My L3860CDW printer is always there. Only trouble is asking for a password for a firmware upgrade, claiming it is in the back and trust me, it is NOT ANYWHERE...

if you want to copy your data from laptop to new internal HDD/SSD this is a good one.

....it appears so far. This is my second WD backup drive, and my first is still going strong and running flawlessly. I've tried ClickFree as a long-term storage solution, and it's been a bit of a nightmare. I bought this drive to replace it in fact, because I don't trust the aforementioned. This WD transfers files on & off itself quickly. It definitely is an External not a Removable, but it doesn't have the massive footprint (size) my old Verbatim External had. My one bone to pick: It is secure, yes. Kinda. When you install the software you can set it to always remain signed-in from your primary host-PC. Which makes sense, being that it's an External not a Removable! But I also use it with my laptop. I had to install the system-files on my laptop, then when I plug the drive into my laptop I need to manually run any one of the WD software applications so it prompts me for my password. Only after this can I see the drive when it's plugged-into my laptop. It would be nice if the drive was recognized but I was prompted for my password. I keep a copy of the system files off-disk, and I'm sure they're available free from WD's website.

Bought this with a new Samsung 860 Evo SSD to clone the HDD in my MacBook Pro. Worked perfectly. Great quality and well built.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just simply fast. I have purchased Samsung HDD/SDD drives for a long time. I haven't had one fail yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a new HDD since my mechanical drive for my desktop just died. I have a few Samsung T7 2TB SDD(s) already for my laptops and they work flawlessly so the decision to replace my old mechanical HDD with a SDD was a easy. Since this is my main backup drive I opted for a larger 4TB T9 for the faster speed and capacity. I have purchased many Samsung drives over the years for their ease of data transfer when I upgrade, the reliability, speed, and top notch software to configure and monitor drive operations.

As an IT pro I have used different model of HDD , SSHD , and SSD -- There if huge difference between Samsung 850 Pro. It is super fast and reliable. I used that device with different processors . SSD really makes difference in speed

HDD's are the slowest peripherals in the PC today, plus use a lot of power, which is the bane of laptops. I'm on my fourth Samsung SSD now and will be going for number five. The task is getting the OS cloned to the new SSD. Samsung's. Their software works OK but has some limitations, it only works one way, you can't clone back to the HD. Also it will only clone the boot drive in the PC you are cloning with. My laptop only holds one HDD so I wound up buying one of those stand-alone cloning devices. That worked but it took hours!
