Old: My old SSD in my Dell Laptop was going kaput, so I bought this to replace it (and to have the added bonus of 250Gb additional space). It was easy to install, works well, and shaved a few seconds off of my already superfast loading time for Windows 10. Initially, running Samsung Magician to test it out, I saw that the write speeds were not as fast as advertised (advertised at 520Mbs, but my system said it was only 360 Mbps), but after retesting today, the write speeds hit the 520 mark and the read speeds are consistently where they should be. Best of all, no BSOD's from my bad former Dell SSD and no crashing anymore.
I'm satisfied! I will update regarding longevity and reliability in a few years.
With that done and the back of the laptop secured I booted up with a new copy of Windows 10 from the USB drive. It took about an hour with all the updates and driver installs from Dell and Intel, but it came out great. When I checked the storage on the laptop it read 465 Gigs ... a long haul from the 180 Gigs I had before. The machine is much faster and responds far better after the new install. I had read that the Samsung SSDs were in fact the best ones on the market for my application. I'll see over time if performance wanes or deminishes ... but for right now its humming along great. As of right now ... 5 Stars!
For the storage and price made this a great buy. I had 2 of the 500gb,s at around 100$ I was bummed because i missed the 119$ sale on the 1TB but it came back as 127$ so i jumped on that and returned the 500gb .
I used Aluminum M.2 NGFF(B Key) to USB 3.1 Type-C M.2 SSD Enclosure Portable External Solid State Drive Enclosure (Black) to clone this from the OEM 256GB HDD and The 1rst time on my 500gb it went well with Macrium free cloning software but the other 2 times it would not let me expand the C: Drive so i had a un allocated 250 gb on the 500gb's
So I decided to use Samsung's data migration and it worked almost perfect . The only complaints are that in the recovery area if you hold shift and then click restart you get a sub menu as to where you can trouble shoot , use command prompt etc, Well this only provided 3 out of say 7 to 8 options . I have no idea what happened . But the system works fine and i know how to create by own recovery partition using EASYBCD 2.3 also free only uses about 4gb but they say to partition 6 i partitioned 5 . I also went right to system restore and made back up's to avoid hassles
So Now I have a NEW 9/18 production date Asus Q536FD which I love , 4k ,touch screen , back lit keyboard , it came with 256gb ssd and 2tb 5400 spinning drive so i swapped to 1TB Samsung M.2 ssd and 500gb Samsung 2.5" ssd for extra storage (like ill need it lol ) But the nice thing about the Samsung 860 evo m.2 is that on Samsung Magician you can turn on RAPID mode and i was getting double to almost triple the speed advertised of 550mbps and receiving 980/860 I was impressed and i though it was a mistake but i also tried the 970 evo nvme and with that only got 1200/1000 and transfers and windows downloads are only about 1 second apart . Plus this only gets up to 112 degrees F (well i have not tried gaming but heavy workloads etc )where as the nvme ave. 148 F too hot for me and gaming over 160 F the packing even states gets up to 70 C which i did not see when i bought it so instead of overheating my new laptop i switched to the 860 evo m.2 and have no regrets now that i finally have the 1TB drive as this will do 2400TB written where as the 500gb or smaller only write 500 TB or less the less the drive the less it lasts . Didn't find that out untill i saw quite a few you tube videos and read a lot of the Amazon reviews .
