They are very easy to install. If you are buying for a desktop or laptop make sure you get either a mounting bracket or spacer. Most laptops seem to need a spacer as the SSD's tend to be thinner in profile than a physical spinning disk. For my desktop I purchased the SABRENT 2.5 to 3.5 Inches Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit (BK-HDDH) and everything fit as expected, the kit included all the screws. For some the lack of a spacer or mounting bracket being included is a knock down in star, it didn't bother me so no deduction there.
The 250GB version was so good it sold me on getting a second one. I bought the 500GB for my desktop.
The 250GB boots my Toshiba Satellite S55t up in under 23 seconds from a cold start. At the end of that I am able to login and all the services have been deployed and are running at 100%. So that speed and performance sold me to get the 500GB for my desktop.
For the 500GB I installed that to my current desktop and it brought my start-up time down to 45 seconds. The reason for the disparity is in my desktop setup and not the drive itself. I am running 6 devices on my sata controller vs 1 on the laptop so it takes slightly longer to get the desktop up to full song.
Now how did it help me in my performance for what I do on my PC. My games load almost instantly, my Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator applications load in seconds now if not instantly and I am deploying them with 3400 fonts installed, that would typically drag performance down, but the SSD chews up that loading and spits out fast responses.
Pro's:
- Speed (Boots to Win7 64 Pro on my laptop in 23 seconds with no optimization, 45 seconds on my desktop fully optimized)
- Cost (I picked up the 500GB for $199, thats the best deal possible for the top performing drive in this category for size and speed)
- Easy to install, includes software for disk cloning or data transfer if you choose. I like the Samsung Magician overview software that tells you all you will need to know on how to manage and optimize your drive to get the most from it.
- Samsung tech support is great. I called them after purchasing the drive to ask about my Performance test numbers post full reload, see what I could do to better make use of the drives full capability. The technician was friendly and patient with me, didnt talk down to me and we talked back and forth for a few minutes. Definitely impressed with the support I received.
Con's:
- No mounting hardware or spacer for a laptop. If you look at Crucial MX series drives you will see they include a thin line spacer to help secure the drive in place by filling that difference of depth that occurs when shifting from a physical spinning platter drive (HDD) to a SSD. Samsung does not include a spacer, or mounting hardware. Again it didn't bother me as I planned to buy a bracket to mount it to my case anyway and already did my research and knew about the lack of mounting hardware. But for some this is a con. So be aware that you will need mounting hardware for a desktop application, and possibly a spacer for your laptop of choice.
I have had both the 850 EVO by Samsung and the Crucial MX100 series. If you can get one or the other at the same price get the Samsung, its faster, by only a little but it is the standard setter for its class in SSD technology. If the price goes back up to the $240 mark, then I suggest you look at the Crucial MX series. They are very close in performance and more cost friendly on average.
------------------------------------------------
Update 10/2/2015
In addition to my previous two 850 EVO drives. I have purchased two more 250GB for updates. I used one on my wife's WIN7 college notebook and the other on my mother-in-laws WIN8 desktop. Both run flawless as expected and increase performance and extend the life of the machines they are in. As the price continues to drop on these drives and SSD's in general as in IT technician I can not stress enough how important it is for you to make the leap from standard HDD to a SSD. You will never look back.
Now Mind you this Laptop was Originally Loaded with Widows Vista Home Premium which goes without saying was no longer an option so I loaded it with Windows 10 Pro (I was already going with a Plan B of Windows 7 if this had not worked) and not only did this work but once again exceeded my expectations.
PROS:
- Surprisingly Overall Performance Improvement (especially on this old of Laptop)
- Booting from BIOS to OS maybe 10 to 12 seconds (3 to 4 minutes with the mechanical original drive)
- Application Response times are instantaneous
- Able to upgrade from Windows Vista/7 to Windows 10, No performance degradation. (Please Note: I loaded the laptop with Windows 7 straight from the Installation Media and then successfully upgraded it from Windows 7 to Windows 10 since there is no upgrade path to Windows 10 with Windows Vista)
CONS:
- Absolutely NONE!
Overall: I could not be happier, Not only did this drive give a new lease on life on this laptop but the SSD allowed me to successfully upgrade it to Windows 10. I would Highly recommend the SSD Hard Drive not only if your original hard drive was in the condition that this laptop was in but in general for overall performance improvement. As of right now I have been using this Laptop as a backup utility Laptop around the house and has been serving me well.

Top reviews from other countries
Highly recommend this especially at the price i paid.
The price to GB ratio is high even now but its totally worth it. I've been using Lenovo Y50-70 since I bought it on Dec/2014 and has never been fully formatted (upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1). By July/2016 my laptop was slow as hell, 5 min to boot up, 10 min to restart,5+min to fully shut down, programs would constantly freeze, games would take 5-8 min to load.
Bought this and did a fresh install of Windows 10. I did a restart to test the speeds, in ~15 seconds i was on the desktop ready for work. Its insanely fast !. Booting up takes ~10 secs (Watch my video) ! I am an animator , so i use heavy programs like Maya, Photoshop, Premiere , After Effects etc . Maya used to take 2-4 min to load, now it does in 10 secs. I game a lot too, Battlefield 3 used to take minutes to load a map in online match and now it doesn't even show "Loading level" anymore most of the time. Any system that costs more than Rs.60k deserves an SSD.
Tips: Using an SSD is noting like using an HDD , you need you manually optimize Windows to make sure the SSD doesn't wear out with too many unnecessary writes. There are a lot of guides online that helps you to disable features like hibernate, search indexing , superfetch/prefetch, Reduce or disable virtual ram etc. Most of these features are designed to speed up the PC because of the slow nature of HDDs but they are completely obsolete when using an SSD and may even reduce the life and efficiency of SSDs.
SUPER TIP: NEVER DEFRAGMENT AN SSD , THIS IS ONLY FOR HDDs.
