Samsung SSD 870 EVO, 2 TB, Form Factor 2.5 Inch, Intelligent Turbo Write, Magician 6 Software, Black

SSD arrived timeously and as described. It's clearly a very good SSD that performs flawlessly once one's HDD info. is successfully transferred to this new Samsung SSD using Samsung's "Magician" software. Some words of caution: it's often very difficult to use Samsung's software to facilitate data transfer from your old HDD to Samsung's SSD. There are many comments / problems around this on-line, so do your homework prior to installing this new SSD; no need to rush this ... do it properly. Once the HDD data is successfully transferred to this new SSD, it's pure magic. Note, the caution above is usually only experienced when using Samsung's cloning software. One apparently does not experience these difficulties when using other cloning software such as Macrium Reflect, etc. I specifically chose, however, to use the Samsung SSD cloning software, eventually succeeding, which has proved to be the right thing to do as this extensively-functional Magician software from Samsung is excellent for managing one's new Samsung SSD. Try to stick with using Samsung's Magician software, for closing and for on-going monitoring, etc. of one's new SSD. In closing, once the new SSD is successfully in place, make sure that "Trim" is activated by Microsoft's "Optimise Drives" defragging system (original software; all Microsoft software have it onboard as standard). Whilst it SHOULD be activated automatically, check anyway by bringing up Microsoft's "Optimise Drives" and checking to see whether "Scheduled Optimisation" is turned on, i.e. the box it ticked. Note that using Samsung's original "Magician" software to monitor this new Samsung SSD does also have a trimming function built in which additionally serves to make sure the new SSD is trimmed continuously. However, per the above explanation, also make sure that trimming is also activated via Microsoft "Optimise Drives" software. Good luck! Once you install your new SSD you won't look back ... it's chalk and cheese in speed, efficiency, etc.! Worth the time / effort!

High-quality SATA 2.5" SSD drive. About as good as this technology gets - SATA SSD drives are now a mature technology giving a decent amount of quick storage with a fairly long life at moderate cost. A huge performance improvement over a hard disk drive, but their performance is limited by the SATA interface. If you need ultimate SSD speed, look to M.2 SSD technology. This Samsung drive is 2020 technology (production of this purchase October 2021) so has a good drive controller and firmware. For SATA drives, performance is good and Samsung are confident enough to give a 5 year limited warranty. The SATA format SSD is an ideal way to give an extra lease-of-life to an aging computer as it can be swapped for any existing SATA hard disk drive. Samsung provide software to migrate such hard disk drives. (You may need to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" SATA adapter caddy to physically install the new SSD.) The 870 Evo is therefore a great 'upgrade' drive. It my case, it is now cheap enough to use as a 1TB data drive in a PC booted from an even faster M2 SSD drive - a nice boost in general system responsiveness over a 1TB hard disk data drive. Note that some cheaper SATA SSD drives have good headline performance but relatively poor real-world performance due to cutting too many corners on the drive electronics required to cache and transfer data. This Samsung 870 EVO gives good solid real-world performance.

I recently upgraded my computer with the Samsung SSD 870 EVO, 500 GB, and I couldn't be happier with the performance. This SSD has significantly improved my system's speed and responsiveness. The installation was straightforward, thanks to the 2.5" form factor that fit perfectly into my setup. The Intelligent Turbo Write technology is a game-changer, providing fast write speeds that make everything from booting up to transferring large files a breeze. The included Magician 6 software is incredibly user-friendly and offers great features for managing and optimizing the SSD. It provides detailed information on the drive's health and performance, and even includes tools for securely erasing data if needed. Overall, the Samsung SSD 870 EVO has been a fantastic investment. The 500 GB capacity is perfect for my needs, offering plenty of storage for my applications and files. The black design is sleek and unobtrusive, fitting nicely with my other components. If you're looking to upgrade your storage, I highly recommend this SSD for its performance, reliability, and ease of use.

Worth a buy - its a great little drive and seems to be fast. Iv had no problems with it over time and its worked consistently well as my boot drive, so the 500gb is a good size.

The Samsung 870 EVO 4TB SSD performs flawlessly with quick load times and smooth operation. Installation was simple and it boosted my system’s overall speed. Definitely a solid choice for anyone needing large and dependable storage.

Bought this to replace the old HDD in a laptop, highly recommend. Boot times went from 5+ minutes down to around 1. Much better performance, plus it’s completely silent given that it’s solid state. I was also impressed with how lightweight and compact it is. Just be aware, if you want to back up/clone your current drive, you’ll need a SATA to USB cable, which is not included.

Ich habe meine alte HDD durch diese Samsung 870 EVO ersetzt und der Unterschied ist gewaltig. Der PC bootet jetzt in wenigen Sekunden statt gefühlten Minuten und Programme öffnen sich sofort. Die Geschwindigkeit ist wirklich beeindruckend. Die Installation war unkompliziert. SSD einbauen, mit der Samsung Data Migration Software die alte Festplatte klonen und fertig. Das hat bei mir etwa eine Stunde gedauert für 500GB Daten. Die Software ist intuitiv und macht den Umstieg sehr einfach, auch für Leute ohne großes technisches Wissen. Die Geschwindigkeiten von 560 MB/s beim Lesen und 530 MB/s beim Schreiben werden in der Praxis auch erreicht. Große Dateien kopieren sich deutlich schneller als vorher. Auch beim Gaming merke ich den Unterschied - Ladezeiten sind minimal und Texturen laden flüssig nach. Die 2TB Kapazität ist großzügig bemessen. Ich habe Betriebssystem, alle Programme, Spiele und noch viel Platz für Daten. Endlich muss ich nicht mehr ständig überlegen, was ich löschen kann. Die Investition in die größere Variante hat sich definitiv gelohnt. Was ich besonders schätze: Samsung ist bekannt für Zuverlässigkeit und Langlebigkeit bei SSDs. Die 5-Jahre-Garantie gibt zusätzliche Sicherheit. Die Samsung Magician Software ermöglicht es, die SSD zu überwachen, Firmware-Updates durchzuführen und die Performance zu optimieren. Die SSD wird nicht heiß und arbeitet absolut lautlos. Kein Surren oder Klackern mehr wie bei der alten HDD. Das macht den Rechner insgesamt deutlich leiser. Für jeden, der seinen PC aufrüsten möchte, ist diese SSD eine der besten Investitionen überhaupt. Der Performance-Sprung ist enorm und die Qualität von Samsung überzeugt auf ganzer Linie. Absolut empfehlenswert.

It a good ssd.

Installed it to my laptop as an OS drive to replace my existing SSD. Used Samsung software to migrate my OS to this new drive. Very easy. It just took a while to copy the OS but I’m using it now and I’m very happy with it. My laptop is a lot faster, as if it’s new.
