Samsung Msata 850 Evo 500 Gb Laptop Compatibility

i bought 970 evo plus 1tb ssd a month ago nearly im very impressed with its performance its speed is as advetised even a bit more (read/write) its my second samsung ssd i use one as boot drive(980 pro 500 gb) but my pc is also decent enough (sadly not pcie 4 but still ok ish) specs 9700kf 32 gb ram 500gb samsung 980 pro 500 gb 1tb 970 evo plus 1tb motherboard asus prime z390 m plus (pcie 3 sadly but still very fast for me) overall samsung is great brand i use samsung phones for years i never had problems with any samsung product .even my old pc ram is samsung 2gb (been using it for over 10 years ) samsung is very good

Fit the Samsung Evo 850 perfectly so I could duplicate my existing hard drive.

I cloned this Samsung 256GB SSD 850 PRO drive from my Samsung 250GB SSD 850 EVO drive using my backup software. The system started with no problems. If this 256GB SSD 850 PRO is as fast and reliable as the 250GB SSD 850 EVO it is replacing, I will be extremely satisfied. Also, the PRO has a 10 year limited warranty. The 250GB SSD 850 EVO will replace the hard drive in my wife's laptop.

Used with an samsung evo 850 to mount it to a hotswap server. worked as expected, product doesn't have sharp edges and the metal is nice and thick so no flex.

It really works with mid2011 imac. I am using samsung 850 evo with it. Only problem was, stuffing extra cable, around the disk. That kind of tedious but you cant avoid it. People who buy this, also needs to buy a adaptadrive for installing everything togather. That product also works.

Wonderful drive, changes your computer experience. Have used a 500 GB EVO for awhile now but due to picture collection wanted to enlarge the size, this drive is great.

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 SSD is way faster than my old 850 EVO SATA drive

I had two 500 GB Samsung SSDs mirrored and ran out of room. Upgraded to two of the new 2TB SSDs. They are faster!!! I am very happy :)

This is now the third Samsung 850 PRO SSD that I have purchased. First my laptop (7 year old MacBook Pro) now flies. Then the 3 year old Mac Mini boots in 40 seconds! I am now transferring the hard drive contents from my wife's 5 year old iMac and I expect fantastic results. Given the 10 year warrantee from Samsung I may never have to buy another! I have gotten transfer rates approaching 7 GB / Minute! JR
