I have been using Samsung SSD drives for a number of years now and they’ve always been great drives. This drive is no exception. I initially, I did a lot of research before deciding to go with Samsung. Being a music producer, I need something that I can trust will hold up and Samsung SSD’s are what chose.
Note: Bear in mind that any new SSD drive will be unformatted and you will need to deal with that yourself so do your homework before buying a new drive. If you are replacing your main OS drive, you will need cloning software and a usb cable made specifically to attach your new drive to your computer while cloning the drive in your computer. Free cloning software is available online such as, Macrium Reflect Free, which I’ve used successfully many times. You won’t need cloning software if you are going to use this drive as an additional data drive but you will still have to partition and format the drive using your onboard OS. Google it. It’s easy!

Big upgrade from my WD Blue HDD. Everything loads so much faster from games to photo and video editing software. The only bad thing was I wish this came with screws to mount it.

My Xbox One S (2019) stopped working 2 months after the warranty expired. I guess folks call it the click of death? Clicking was coming from inside the console and then it would shut down. I was this close to sending it in to Microsoft for a $175 repair. But….after a little research (YouTube and all) I found out that the HDD can be easily replaced from my nearest retailer. I looked at several HDD and SSD drives and ultimately chose this Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SATA 2.5″ SSD. Crossing my fingers the whole time after opening up my Xbox One S and exchanging the HDD for the new Samsung SSD. Long story short, its working. I’m currently downloading all of my games! Not only did I fix my Xbox One S, I upgraded it too! Boom!

What a difference. My Dell i5 laptop boots in less than 30 seconds and runs all my apps so much faster. I use this laptop to teach with and usually have multiple power point presentations open. Those presentations used to take a while to load, now they are up in 5 seconds. MS Outlook loads and runs much much faster. Over all I would say I have an order of magnitude more speed. The laptop now can run Fusion 360 3D CAD and PCB sofrware with decent response were before it was just too sluggish to use.

I have been slowly changing older SSD to all Samsung SSD. This one is replacing a failed 500GB Crucial. The one issue with SSD I guess there is no warning. The crash was about at 5 years on 75% max filled drive and my first SSD that created pain. The Crucial would not repair so I did not clone as I usually do. Not having a cloned drive caused much pain. One just does not realized all the little apps that get accumulated even on a PC.
I hope this Samsung gives some notice when it decides to fail but I am trying to stay under 50% to hopefully prolong life. I give it 5 starts not because anything special about this particular one but that my 2 other 870 EVO all seem to be doing well and 1 getting close to 5 year mark.
Final note: Best Buy did do a price match with Amazon and there was a significant difference at the time which was a surprise. Usually they are pretty close, with Best Buy winning due to instant gratification. The match was an easier process than I expected.

Quality drive as usual. I highly recommend the 860 EVO to anyone with an aging laptop that is still running an old school spinner, hhd. It’ll be a game changer in the way of performance boost, especially if you have never used a machine with an ssd. If you have an available m.2 port then go for the 970 EVO. It’s even faster than the SATA 860! I have purchased several of these over the passed few years and have had great luck with them. I also have several 970 EVO Plus and recently picked up three 870 EVO. Jury is still out on the 870s as I have not installed them yet and benchmarked them should get around to that soon.
