    Buy it. Just do it.
    Wow. I don't know why I waited so long to do this, I've known my computer had an M.2 slot for a while now, and finally took the plunge and bought this Samsung 860 Evo SSD. I should have done this as soon as I bought the computer, lol.For reference, the laptop that I installed this in is an Acer Aspire R5-571t. If your laptop will support the newer Samsung SSD (970 right now) then maybe buy it. I bought this one in particular for compatibility with my Acer motherboard. This laptop won't run the newer SSD but it will run this one. It's definitely worth doing. It was very easy to install, but remember to buy the screw. Samsung doesn't provide one with the drive, and this laptop doesn't come with a screw, either, although it does have the riser. It took about two hours to clone a 1TB SATA drive over to the new Samsung SSD, using Samsung Migration software.The speed improvements are just phenomenal. Even on fast boot, the original hard drive took a long time to boot. Now it boots very fast, just seconds, apps and programs open almost immediately, and downloads are even faster. The battery life improvements are very noteworthy, as well. The battery never lasted longer than 4 hours with the original hard drive, now I can get over 6 hours or more even watching videos. This is exactly what this laptop needed, it's just about perfect now.Here's a quick tip:Download Samsung Magician.As long as your SSD shows up on Samsung Magician software, and it says it's compatible with your system, you're good to use Samsung Migration to clone your old drive. Even if the new SSD doesn't show up in Windows file explorer. On my laptop, I could find the drive in the disk management menu and the BIOS, but not file explorer, until everything got cloned over to the new SSD. Now it shows up just fine.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2018
    Capacity: 1TBVerified Purchase
    Recently ordered the Samsung 860 1TB M.2 SSD. The seller (IPC-Store) promptly shipped the order with more than enough air pillows within the box to protect the drive from any rough handling. They even made sure it was placed in the middle of the air pillows, not to the side or bottom, and it arrived that way. So the person that boxed my SSD did so with a very purposeful and careful packaging. Thank you. For the product, the Samsung 860 is a five star product. I had much reservations on upgrading my HP x360 laptop that originally came with a 512GB SSD. It is several years old and came with the earlier generation B+M SATA3 interface, not the newer PCIe SATA6. The B+M interface has two slots, not one. HP made these with a Samsung 512Gb SSD, and that was why I really wanted to pay just a bit more for another 1Tb Samsung drive due to the absolute stunning Samsung migration software that really works well when using a Samsung target drive (migrating your old SSD drive to a Samsung SSD drive). Even though the 860 just came out in January '18 and is a SATA6 (which is backward compatible to SATA3), it was a perfect match to replaced the older SATA3 SSD. Much faster writes and reads as well as almost a 10 fold write capability before wear-out. I also ordered a USB-3 enclosure (making sure it was compatible to the old B+M interface) to house the new SSD while I cloned the original drive. I fired up the laptop with the old drive still in place and connected the USB enclosure with the new SSD inside it and connected it to the older USB2 port. I downloaded the Samsung migration software first (not Samsung Magician, just the migration software for SSDs) and made sure all stand-alone programs were closed. There will be open processes no mater what, but that is ok. just make sure all programs like Word are closed and I also disabled Norton. Did not kill it off, just disabled it until restart because the old USB2 was going to take 10 hours to clone. Then I executed the Samsung migration software and it auto detected both the old SSD in the M.2 slot and the new SSD in the USB connected enclosure. The migration software is extremely simple. It warns you any data on the new drive will be lost (I did not care since this was a new drive and I did not even check to see if it was formatted. You basically just hit enter and off it goes. Ten hours later and the drive was cloned. A USB3.1 will be much faster. Simply turned off the laptop, disconnected the battery, and swap drives. The new cloned SSD fired up properly and my HP laptop never missed a beat with the new 1Tb SSD. The laptop will most likely go to bios on restart due to disconnecting the battery. Just continue to reboot by hitting the continue to normal boot and the laptop will restart again and come up normal. Everything was the same. No pain of reinstall. Just my old machine back exactly as before but with an extra 500Gb of extra storage. So, great handling by the seller and great performance by the new Samsung 860 EVO SSD. And to add to the story, I am using the old 512Gb SSD in the new USB enclosure (with a cable so you do not block other ports) and I now have an external SSD drive. I hope your story will be as successful.

    Update: almost a year and a half later, the laptop drive is still running very smoothly. I’ll update again in another year.

    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.

    I've been looking portable small SSD external hard drive. First I've been thinking about Samsung T5 but 860 EVO catch my attention as its price was 90 $ lower compare to T5. For extra 22 $ I get external case for it and I have now excellent external hard drive. There is newest version of EVO 860 2TB SATA - EVO 970 NVMe 2TB (EVO 960 doesn't come in capacity of 2TB) but for external hard drive there is no point to spend additionally 180 $ (unless you want to use as internal hard drive for you desktop (or new laptop).
    Transfer speed read and write is similar to T5 and if you using most of time to connect through USB 3.0 this is the way to go. I wanted to have external SSD as there is no movable parts and theirs life time is much longer.
    EVO 860 itself is really small 3,15 x 0,87 x 0,09 in.
    I use NGFF M.2 SSD case for it which has size 4,61 x 1,57 x 0,31 in - versus size of T5 3 x 2,3 x 0,4 in. As you can see difference is just the length but case with EVO 860 is thinner. It fit in the pocket without any problem to carry around. You can format as you need, to use with Windows or macOS.
    Recommend to buy this and make as external portable hard drive except carry with you many pendrives.

    Used to replace an older low capacity card, but if your computer will take a newer PCIe (NVMe) card you get a much faster card of comparable capacity for the same money. That said, it gave my old machine a new lease of life, so I am happy!

    Addition of the SSD really made a definitive change in my system. Installation was smooth on my Asus ROG GL55V2. The SSD is working without problem after around 6 months now.

    Anyone without an SSD should just get one. Seriously, the costs are marginal compared to the benefits. Esp for older systems, an SSD will give fresh lease of life to them
