Samsung Laptop Stuck At Boot Splash

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?

I had a horrible time getting this memory to work. After installation, my computer was stuck in a boot/reboot cycle before it even started to POST. It turned out that the memory sockets on my motherboard were either out of tolerance, or had extremely tight tolerances. Either way, the issue was that the memory module was not properly seated. It clicked into the socket and the locking lever locked it in place, but it wasn't making proper electrical contact. It took about an hour and multiple reseatings/checking different sockets to diagnose the problem, but once solved, it's been completely reliable for the several months that it's been installed.

12 core is where its at.

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.

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.
