    Great performance and durability...
    This is the third Samsung SSD drive that I am purchasing for my home office desktop computer and while I typically replace my desktops and laptops at the 4 to 5 year mark, this desktop is now 9 years old runnig Windows 10 Enterprise and a major reason I have not replaced it yet are these SSDs. I also own multiple laptops and they all have Samsung SSDs under the hood. I purchased this 860 EVO to replace the Samsung 840 Pro 512GB that I purchased in 2014 and has been working flawlessly. I do application development and use demanding applications like Fusion 360 with fairly large 3D projects so every time I need to upgrade my operating system, I buy a new SSD drive and start from scratch. This way, if something goes wrong, I can just plug in my previous SSD and be back in business until I figure out what I need to do to make things work with the upgrade. I mostly work on my home office PC and I never shut it off unless I am cleaning it with compressed air once a year or I am on vacation. My old 840 Pro is now 3 years and 5 months old and has written a total of 16.83TB (this is only data written to the drive, not read) while the drive reports that the "Power-on Hours" are 29092 which would be about 3.3 years of running. The "power on count" is 67 so this drive has only shut down 67 times in 3.5 years for brief periods of time. There are no errors and most importantly, the "wear leveling count" that shows the life remaining is at 94 percent. The attached video and pictures show the drive test first for this SSD and then for my older Samsung 840 Pro 512GB. In the attached pictures, you can see comparison data of the 2 drives showing that they are very close in performance including performance results for a conventional SATA 2T HDD. Note that a newer computer would get better results than these but I believe that it is noteworthy to see how close the 840 Pro and the 860 are in performance and also how slow is the conventional hard drive in comparison to the SSDs. These tests are not utilizing Samsung's Rapid Mode because Rapid Mode utilized DRAM and CPU to accomplish higher speeds through cashing and that is not the actual performance of the device. The processor in this desktop is an i7 920 @ 2.67GHz with 4 cores and 8 logical processors. It also has 24GB of memory. In conclusion, If you are someone that needs a bigger hard drive or your hard drive died and you are contemplating if you should replace it or the whole computer or even if you are thinking of building your own computer, I can tell you with confidence that if you replace your mechanical hard drive with this Solid State Drive, you will be glad you spent a few extra dollars and your PC will be useful for a much longer period of time you expected. All this, provided that your operating system is Windows 7 or later or in any case your operating system is not close to the "end of life" date. The fact is that for the typical daily home use a computer that has a mid range processor with a solid state drive, will be faster than a computer that has the latest and greatest processor with a mechanical hard drive. As you can see from the test results, if you have a computer with a mechanical hard drive and replace it with an SSD, you will most likely see double the speed overall.

      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!

      Have installed 5 of these now in different computers & laptops to replace magnetic drives. All working well and have made a huge improvement to Windows startup times. Programs load 5-6 times faster than before. Overall a great product!

      5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the best SSD in 2020

      This SSD is one of the best and reliable SSD in its category. Its read-write speed is still great (R - 545MB/s, W - 496MB/s) if compared to modern SSDs. Booting OS and loading of applications have become much faster than before (Avg. boot time - 5s). If I talk about gaming performance, it only speeds up the load up, performance-wise gain like increase in FPS is minimal (completely dependent on CPU and GPU). The Samsung Data Migration software provides a seamless data transfer to migrate data from the old drive to the new drive and the Samsung Magician software is a great monitoring + tuning app, you can tweak some parameters to improve its performance. The SSD (1 TB) has a whopping 600TBW lifetime, which means it will survive 600 TB of writing or more, i.e., massive. Overall, it's a great buy for me. If you have an SSD in mind, go for the EVO series (or PRO series, if you have that budget). P.S. - Avoid the QVO series, not much durable in terms of lifetime.

      Me gusto totalmente este producto, es excelente.
      Utilice esta unidad SSD para sustituir al disco duro mecánico principal de mi laptop y lo que decidio la compra frente a otros es que en el momento en que lo adquiri estaba en una inmejorable promocion y precio.
      Lo bueno:
      - Cumple sobradamente lo que promete en la descripción y no tiene que envidiarle nada otro tipo de tecnologias que anuncian otros SSD de la competencia.
      - La garantia es de las mas amplias en el mercado ... te ofrecen muchos años con garantia y esto es inigualable por la competencia.
      - la vida útil en la escritura de archivos es superior, por lo que no tendras que preocuparte que a los pocos años deje de escribir datos. En este apartado encontraras SSDs en el mercado muy baratos pero lo que no te dicen es que su bajo costo esta dado porque te durara pocos años escribiendo datos (hay quienes dicen que 5 o hasta 6 años). Recordemos que en este tipo de tecnologias es importante cuantas veces se podra escribir y leer datos en la unidad de almacenamiento. En los SSDs es un aspecto crítico este apartado asi como su costo independientemente de la marca.
      - Con su intalación, la inversion que hagas se ve reflejada inmediatamente en tu computadora y es perceptible totalmente tanto que pensaras el porque no hiciste este cambio desde hace tiempo. Sentiras que estas ante una nueva computadora, por la velocidad de apertura de las aplicaciones o programas, encendido y apagado, aun con un procesador de poca monta.
      -Tiene un peso imperceptible.

      Lo malo:
      - En la instalación el software propietario decia que no podia hacerlo funcionar con la computadora; sin embargo como hice una instalacion desde cero del Sistema Operativo, éste se encargo totalmente de la configuración y puesta en marcha.
      - Tecnologia que es costosa y que año con año va reduciendo los precios, pero esto sucede con todos las unidades de disco duro.
      - Si tu desconoces como se hace su intalacion lo preferible es que lo lleves con el personal capacitado que realice este paso.

      Nota: ideal para instalar como dispositivo de persistencia principal o tambien en un caddy.

      Si o si, una vez instalado deberas de buscar en internet la forma en como debes de configurar tu computadora para que realice un uso mas eficiente de la unidad SSD instalada, asi como para prolongar su vida útil. Son consejos, configuraciones del sistema operativo que se deben de cambiar, y especificaciones tecnicas, nada del otro mundo pero necesarias para su uso adecuado.
