Samsung is the SSD For me!

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

I have been a Samsung SSD fan for some time now. As for the 2.5-inch form factor units, the 860 series is a solid performer and has met my needs very well. I am a moderate gamer, creator, and programmer. To this day, I have never had an 860 fail in any way (knock on wood). My setup consists of rack style removable 2.5-inch form factor SSD's for my two workstations.

Perfect until failed at 5 years. There were warning signs see review

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2023

Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase

Samsung makes over half the DRAM in the world and huge volume NAND chips that make SSD
The obvious choice in my mind
-- cut to chase. I will buy a M.2 2TB top of line SAMSUNG for my next PC - I still trust them

There were warning signs before failure AROUND 5 YEARS
Disconnect and huge delays -- like a month of acting weird

I ran a HUGE PAGEFILE on SSD and workign set 2x DRAM SIZE - a worst case for wear leveling sort of.
I lost 3 weeks data when I delayed replacement. and 100% my fault as an EXPERT USER who has lost Rotating DISK
I filled it up 400 GB with simple streams of scientific DATA SETS every 4 weeks.. The SAMSUNG app didn't warn me. The OS didn't warn me. The WEAR out checked a couple times did not report anything bad and because PAGEFILE and the qty data

I always expected TBW to overflow -- THIS IS A SAMSUNG APP problem IMHO - On every boot -- call that MONTH it should check for ERRORS using any secret interface.

I'd buy again. I have far better backup strategy. Rotating disk are terribly cheap now.

I've been buying other vendors to save the 30% premium and 50% premium for DRAM LESS drive for far lower use cases. NOT ME FIRST greedy, NOT PAGE FILE, NOT 80% FULL all the time, Not so frequent WRITE HE WHOLE disk to nearly full.

This is literally 5 years later and a year after blow up
The drive wasn't recognized by BIOS .. DONE.

As I said.. I will buy the Top of Line Samsung M.2 in about a year with 2 TB or 4 TB
I haven't lost confidence.

Wowowowowowow!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019

Capacity: 500GBVerified Purchase

I feel like I have a new laptop.

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 431 with a Core i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GH processor and 8GB of RAM, running Windows 7 Professional, which were pretty good specs when I bought it five years ago. It has been a decent, reliable performer, but continuous software bloat has resulted in increasingly slow performance. I run maintenance utilities regularly and have a minimum of the normal “junk” that slows a PC down, but you can only make an old horse run so fast.

Or so I thought.

I downloaded a copy of HDTune to evaluate the hard drive, and was chagrined to learn how slow it was compared to state-of-the-art drives even though it was performing at its rated ability. It was time to try one of these new-fangled SSD’s, especially considering how inexpensive they’ve become.

Whoa! My start-up time has decreased from an average of 3:20 to a mere 0:45, a decrease of 75 percent! Everything is much snappier and responsive, and programs load RIGHT NOW. What a change!

The Windows Experience Index went from 5.9 (the lowest rating being the Primary Hard Disk score) to 6.5 (driven by the graphics, which is not a priority in a business laptop). The Primary Hard Drive score is now 7.9, which is the highest it can go.

I didn’t realize when I ordered this that I would also need a USB adapter for a SATA drive to make the transfer, so that was a second Amazon order before I could start. I then downloaded the free transfer software from Samsung and it took about 45 minutes to transfer 360 GB of data from my HDD to the Samsung SSD. Swapping the drives was a piece of cake, although that would depend on what laptop you have. For my ThinkPad, it was a matter of removing three screws to remove the bottom cover, then four screws to remove the bracket holding the old hard drive, and then four more screws to take the HDD out of the bracket to make room for the SSD. Reassembly and the insertion of the eleven little screws took just a few minutes.

I restarted my ThinkPad and it was as though nothing had changed…except it was FAST! When I ran MS Word 2010 it noticed a change in hardware and wanted to re-register with Microsoft automatically, so I let it do that, but that was the end of the install process.

I cannot recommend this upgrade more highly to anyone who has a worthwhile laptop with the weakest link being the speed of the HDD.

---------------------
Update 7/27/19: It has now been almost four months since I upgraded my ThinkPad with this product and my opinion has only gotten better. The replacement of the mechanical spinning HD with this SSD has increased my effective battery life tremendously. The SSD uses less energy, of course, but even more significant is that my PC's new ability to awake from sleep mode almost immediately allows me to set a much shorter time delay between inactivity and forced sleep mode. I'm also much less reluctant to deliberately put the ThinkPad into sleep mode because now it will start up again so quickly when I need it. If I'm sitting in a one hour meeting, my PC can easily go to sleep several times during that interval (and I don't mean only that the screen goes dark), and I get it to crank back up and log me in in just a few seconds with just a couple of slaps at the space bar. Awesome!!

When plugged in, I used to leave my PC running all the time during the day even when it was unattended, because the startup time was so interminable and I didn't want to go through it more than once daily. Now I've gotten into the habit of putting it into sleep mode whenever I plan to be away from it for a while, just to save energy. If I plan to be gone for several hours, I'll even do a full shut down because, again, it's so easy to get it up and running again when I return.

I also need to add that I upgraded to Windows 10 (which is still free, even though Microsoft keeps it a secret), which helps startup time even more. My old ThinkPad really zips along better than when it was new. Thanks, Samsung!
