After installing the drive and booting up the computer, it did not show up anywhere at first. I gave it a second reboot and I could see it in Disk Management. Check. I had read a few things about cloning your OS from the old hard drive to the new SSD and basically you have to shrink your OS volume with any programs you'd like to keep on the SSD to be less than the size of the SSD. So I did that, moving all my media (Pictures, Videos, Music) to my backup drive temporarily. the new size of the volume was about 92 GB, which included everything except my media (Programs and OS files). I also had to account for about 25 GB for the recovery partition, so in total I was looking at ~117 GB to copy to the SSD from my old drive.
The Data Migration software that came with the drive is a big disappointment. I had read mixed reviews about it, mostly bad, but was hoping it would go well for me just to make things easier. Well it never got close to working. There was barely any chance to customize the cloning and it kept listing the SSD's name as the source even though it displayed the size of my 1TB HDD. Every time I would try to start the cloning, it would say that the source disk had been disconnected 5 seconds after clicking "Start". A co worker had previously mentioned Acronis for drive/OS cloning and I had also seen some good things about it online. So I purchased a copy for $50 from their site. Totally worth it! Setting up the cloning was a breeze, plus it gave me options to customize every aspect of it. This software also has many other great features like backup which I have not yet had the chance to experiment with but I am definitely looking forward to, so I highly recommend it.
After setting up the options for the cloning, I clicked on start and asked me to restart. After booting up, it booted to Acronis' cloning screen, since it obviously can't clone the drive while you're running the OS. The process took a little bit less than an hour. The computer booted again and was still booting to the old HDD but I noticed I could see the SSD clone of my C: drive and the recovery partition. Now I needed to figure out how to tell Windows 10 where to boot from, which isn't as easy as in previous versions. I have yet to see an option to boot up to the BIOS or other pre-OS settings. Windows 10 has a setting that lets you choose where to boot from, whether HDD/SSD, USB drive, or CD. When you ask it to let you pick it does a reboot, then a menu comes up with the mentioned options. I chose HDD/SSD but it didn't let me pick which one!! DOH! so it booted up again to my painfully slow HDD. I turned it off again, opened up the back of the laptop, disconnected the HDD and booted.....WOILA! it booted so fast to the SSD that I was a little dizzy haha. Seriously, it was incredibly fast. I signed in and that also was ridiculously fast. The OS was ready to go within a second of signing in, with everything loaded. I checked the drives and the new partitions were there, beautifully set up as C: and D: for OS/Programs and Recovery partitions. I turned it off, plugged back the HDD, and booted...incredibly fast again. I knew my SSD had stayed as the new permanent boot drive at that point. Signed in and I saw my old partitions there as F: and J: which were the names I had given to the SSD partitions originally. So the letter switching happened all on its own, which I was kind of stressing doing myself.
So that's it! I tested opening up things and man.....what a freaking difference. This is the best upgrade you can give your PC if you have a slow HDD, 5400 rpm in my case. But honestly, it'll be a 200x difference even with a 7200 or 10000 rpm HDD. Amazing. I currently have 8 GB of memory and plan to take it to the 16 GB max in the next couple of months, but I am good to go with this beauty for now.
Hope this was helpful.
So I opened up my Toshiba underneath and inserted the SSD into drive bay #2. Booted laptop back up. The drive comes with a CD which has the Samsung migration software on it. Install the software and it will recognize your main drive and your new SSD drive. I ran the software and it took just 35 minutes to clone my original hard drive to the new SSD. That was about 116 Gigs of data total. If I hadn't put 24 Gigs of RAM in the laptop first then I think it may have taken about 90 minutes to migrate everything.
Once cloning was complete, shut laptop down unplug everything (remove battery as well) and move the new SSD from bay #2 to bay #1. I put my old drive aside and did not install it in bay #2 yet. Put laptop back together and booted it up with the new SSD.
Super fast! My laptop boot time went from about 30 seconds to 6 seconds. Reboot time went from about 50 seconds to about 18 to 20 seconds!
The O/S and all applications are blazing fast now compared to the regular HDD with just 8 Gigs of RAM. Upgrading to 24 Gigs of RAM also was a big plus for running multiple apps at the same time. My laptop runs much faster, much quieter, and much cooler while producing less heat out of the fan on the side.
After playing around with things a while to test out the new drive to make sure everything migrated properly and it was running properly, I then shut everything down (shutdown time is now just 5 seconds also). Flipped laptop over, opened it up again and I re-installed my original 750 Gig HDD into drive bay #2.
Put back together again and booted it up. My system now recognizes both drives. C: drive is now the Samsung SSD Evo 850 with 250 Gigs. And now my original 750 Gig HDD is recognized as drive E:
Opened up 2 sessions of Windows Explorer side by side and started comparing all files and folders between both drives. Identical. I deleted all big music and video files, etc. from the new SSD so that it's as clean as possible with mainly just the O/S Windows 8.1 Pro and my applications.
Everything else is still stored on the original HDD since it has 750 Gigs of space on it.
I was initially weary of trying to do this upgrade because I read so much online about people having all kinds of errors and other issues getting the migration software to work or getting their PC's to boot up in the correct order, or having to make a bunch of BIOS settings changes.
Maybe I got lucky, because this whole upgrade process barely took 90 minutes with testing everything out.
I did not have to make any boot or BIOS or any other system changes at all for that matter. I did not run into any errors. The migration software from Samsung worked perfectly the first try. So far this whole upgrade has gone flawlessly, so maybe I got lucky compared to others I read about.
So if you want a blazing SSD as a primary O/S and application drive, I'd say this is definitely the one to go with. The speed boost is awesome, and of course you just get more reliability and safety with SSD compared to HDD which has moving parts and will break down much quicker over time. Your laptop or PC will last longer too as it will produce less heat and the fan won't have to run as much.
If you have a laptop with 2 drive bays then this is the way to go while using another drive in bay #2 as a storage drive.
Oh...and copy speed between the drives is also blazing fast. Having 24 Gigs of RAM helps as well. So you can copy a few big movie files from drive 2 over to drive 1 to play in no time at all. I'd rather play them on the SSD so that my HDD isn't spinning and making noise and heat, etc. Then you can just delete the movie files from the SSD when done so that you don't take up much room on it.

My laptop is = hp pavilion 15 au084tx with 12gb ram( installed another 8gb kit with 4gb previous)
Yes, there are may SSDs . All SSDs are soo fast that u can't find any speed difference between them. 500MBPS+ speed is more than enough for a PC. Even, yu don't need SSD's full speed.. coz, in laptop CPU is under powerd and can't utilize SSD's full potential. So, you can go for any SSD from any company. I choose Samsung, because of it's amazing data migration tools. It's the best cloning software. Yes, there are too many software available, bt they are not as accurate and as simple as Samsung's .
Now, laptop has 250gb+1tb stroage. And I'm now extremely happy. If you follow my installation process, yu don't need to buy USB to hdd cable. Follow my process and save some money. Thank yu. 😄

SSDs are very fast, yes- but their performance and reliability is dependent on the controllers and the memory they use. There are just too many reviews of how SSD performances are inconsistent in the real world vis-a-vis the bench tests; and of performance degradation over time.
The 850 EVO series has very good reviews, and has now aged gracefully, unlike the 840 series which had speed issues.
The package has the SSD, a pictorial installation guide; a warranty statement booklet; CD with Samsung's Magician and Data Migration software. No USB connectors though.
PROs-
1. High quality and reliability of Samsung (has its own controller and memory, which are more reliable and faster than the Sandforce/JMicron controllers).
2. Very very fast- your system becomes like a rocket (see, however cons below)- in cases where you are not connected to any slower peripherals (like USB HDD, Pen Drive, etc).
3. While test copy speeds are between 3-5 times as fast as HDDs (300-500 MBps for SSD vs 60-100 MBps for HDD), the SSD can move data within itself at astronomical speeds compared to an HDD. An HDD can move data within itself only around 20-30MBps, while the SSD can move it at 500 MBps. This is where you will really feel the difference.
4. Sufficient space- has around 230GB, of which around 10% will be set aside as an unallocated buffer (if you choose), by Samsung's magician software. This leaves 217GB which is more than enough if you are not loading on multimedia content.
5. Higher tolerances- operating temperature limits are 70 deg C, as compared to 60 deg C for HDDs. No moving parts.
6. Actual temperatures are lower than HDDs. My Seagate thin (7mm thickness) would routinely strike 50 deg C when moving data. The 850 EVO touched 48 deg C under load.
7. Much lower copy speeds when copying into the SSD- as it can easily write at 100 MBps, which is the limit for USB3 HDDs (from which you would be copying the data). See cons however.
8. 5 Year warranty.
CONs-
1. Full speed cannot always be achieved due to CPU bottlenecks. It's not always about speeds when copying data; in 90% cases, your CPU also processes the program/ data. Laptop CPUs, which are around 1.9-2.7GHz top out much below the SSD capacities.
2. When moving data between an SSD and other media, the speed is limited by the slower components, which are invariably the pen drives, other HDDs and the USB HDDs. Here, you would get speeds of anywhere between 30-100 MBps.
3. Data migration software can be used only if you have a USB casing free for your laptop. In a desktop, this is not an issue.
4. More expensive than other SSDs. But prices are much lower than they were for the 840 series.
