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.
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.

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
