First off I’ll start by saying the package was revived on time and in good condition.This is a great hard drive. I’m using it in my gaming computer. There aren’t really any cons to this product. It’s a good amount of storage for what I’m using it for, it works fast, is reliable and is a SSD.Overall a great product and good value for the money.

This was a great way to extend and improve the operation of our older laptop. We are in our mid 70's with minimal computer experience so we asked our family consultant... Our PhD grandson suggested this fix and it solved our problems. We have a 6 year old laptop that was getting slower and slower to start up, and run especially after updating. Defragging helped a bit as did deleting stuff. These only helped for a while. My grandson explained that the disc on the laptop gets worn and doesn't work effectively after time. Replacing it with a solid state device (SSD) eliminates that problem.Now this computer works like new again. The startup went from 15 minutes to 3 seconds!We also got the USB connecting wire to copy all data from the disc to the SSD before opening the laptop and removing the disc and replacing it with the new SSD. The device comes with instructions, and onscreen assistance but for understanding of how to switch the devices we looked on YouTube under our specific computer on how to replace the device.Ours was just unscrew access plate on the bottom... Remove disc and slide in SSD.

I have a 1TB I bought many years ago when these first released and it has excelled at everything and still registers through Samsung Software 70% productive. This new one is twice the capacity and actually runs above advertised specs a small percentage. And just like the other, firmware updates are a breeze, and this one shows 100% battle ready.The value now, versus then, is superb; no regrets at this cost whatsoever. I use it as a gaming drive and have turned my 1TB into a development drive. It runs a little warmer than I anticipated, but that’s on me, I bought a pre-built and the cooling is 75% effective at best. Nothing I can do, I will build my own again, this pre-built leaves much to be desired in the cooling department.It hooked up and registered and I had it running in no time. ParrotOS and Windows 11 Pro read it just fine and it runs Forza, Gears 5, No Man’s Sky, Sims 4, and other demanding games with ease. I’m rocking 64GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 7, and a great power supply, so it has everything it needs to push along just fine.Samsung delivered on these drives. I will, in all likelihood, stick with these for my SSD needs. On a side note, the software registered the other 870 with this updated software versus the old version I was running, but it will not, and does not, read the 970 Pro M.2 I’m pushing as my Parrot drive. I don’t know why the software doesn’t work for a similar device, yes the form factor is different, but having to install two versions of software that are near identical annoys me.If you want consistent speed, reliability, chill temps, and peace of mind on your investment, Samsung gives all of that here. Perfection. Outright.

It works good however I have an odd problem bot related to the SSD. When I cloned the drive and changed the boot order in the BUOS everything was fine. Then to tell which was the old HDD I disconnected the old HDD and booted from SSD. All of the sudden in file explorer the drive shows up a drive F:/ not C:/ and has baquestion mark next to it. In disk utility it shows both drives as the SSD being C:/ and the HDD being E:/. However in file explorer it does not recognize the HDD at all and the SSD (drive F:/) has a question mark next to it and I can't seem to get it changed or access files. Both drives are not corrupted as the computer boots fine from both the HDD and the SSD. I should have just used disk utility to figure out which drive was which when I was going to format the old HDD. Know I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get this fixed. 20 command lines later and changes in partitions and the boot order and UEFI or Legacy and still no results. I'm going to have to call a professional. But the SSD itself is excellent, computer boots in 5 seconds couldn't be happier. It's just the file explorer problem that angers me because if I wanted to access program files for example I wouldn't be able to. Everything else like I said is fine. Can download, surf the web, run applications, no problem....

You can't go wrong with Samsung, Great quality! Simple instalation and notable results! An affordable way to upgrade an old pc, totally recommended!
