Samsung Laptop One Time Boot Menu

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.

This thing is fast, cut my boot time to one third of what it was with a traditional hdd. All of these Samsung drives are fast. I would buy another in a minute. Buy now, you won't regret it!

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?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really enjoying this SSD with my laptop. My boot up time and overall system performance is faster and much more responsive. I like that is has plenty of storage with 240GB and transferring files, pictures etc. is very quick and easy. It is very reliable and is making my laptop experience much better.

This upgrade from standard mechanical drive to SSD improved my boot time and overall performance! Went from over 10 minutes to less than 2 to boot up and now has all the apps running and waiting for me to use my laptop. I wasn't sure I wanted a laptop, but I bought a slightly used one from a friend to help them out. Initially I was disappointed. The laptop was years newer than my towers but a disappointing startup, once I realized it still had a mechanical drive in it, it was well duh! Replacing the drive was all I needed to finally move into having an easily mobile and effective computer to use.

Faster boot and load time.

Bought this to upgrade my old laptop. Now, it only takes 14 sec to boot.

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 work in the semiconductor industry, therefore I was aware of 3D NAND. When I saw that Samsung had V-NAND SSDs available, I decided to try the 850 PRO 512GB SSD. I installed it in a 6 year old computer. I did a clean Win 7 install. After the first boot up, I was stunned. This computer used to take 4 - 5 minutes to fully cold boot. Now it only takes 45 - 55 seconds. from a cold boot. Apps now open virtually immediately. This V-NAND SSD has breathed new life into a 6 year old computer. It is faster than my 1 1/2 year old Win 7 computer with a faster processor. Both computers have Core i7 processors . Both have Win 7. I had a computer with an SSD several years ago. It was fast, but nothing like what I am experiencing with the 32 level V-NAND SSD from Samsung.

I've been a big fan of Samsung's T7, but this guy has almost twice the write speed. I boot my OS from it and haven't had any problems.
