SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 8TB 2.5 Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade Desktop PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77Q8T0B

I have a nice touchscreen laptop that should have been really fast, but it simply wasnt. It constantly bogged down and starting up could take over 5 minutes at times, which was maddening in this day and age. It always felt like it was churning through mud to do anything. I decided to try to go from the stock drive to this SSD and wow, what a difference. It doesnt feel like it is even the same computer. Now, it boots in under 20 seconds and I an start working in under a minute from pressing the start button. Fantastic upgrade. Really salvaged my laptop and made it fun to use, instead of a chore. Installation was easy, once you got the software and had an idea of what you were going to do. I got an enclosure for my old drive, but havent needed it yet- the migration was perfect. Highly recommend this drive as an upgrade for a machine running on a regular drive.

Perfect for what I need

Amazing product. Fast speeds and no lag. Perfect for running those high speed texture required games!

Great SSD, although came with less storage than I thought (I know SSDs dont have exactly how much they say but this was like 60GB less than the 2TB it said)

once the cache fills up (i notice around 40gb file size) the write speed slows down to the speed of a typical hard drive. get the evo instead

Fais la job. Feeling dun nouvel ordinateur

I had a decent HDD that wrote at 150mbps and noticed its been starting to slow down lately where my games were taking about 1-2 mins at a loading screen. After getting this SSD my games take only 10 seconds to load... AMAZING upgrade. I clocked the new SSD at 560mbps read and write!

I was concerned this product was not going to work on my laptop that I bought 6 years ago.

This SSD is lighting fast when it comes to read and write speeds. Games load faster than my old HDD. Very happy with this purchase. 2TB is the way to go if you plan on having a large library of games. This was the best value for the amount of space i was looking for. There were other slightly cheaper alternatives, but i decided to go with Samsung because its the brand i trust most. They have never disappointed.

I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on cloning my hard drive to this new SSD, along with how to install it, and successfully did so about a week ago. I purchased my computer in 2016, so I guess that makes it old. After cloning and installation, I had a few issues when booting up so watched more videos on how to get into the BIOS screen; once I edited my booting sequence, it seemed okay. The next day when I turned the computer on after a complete shut down, I got the blue screen of death again, so (after more videos) I created a windows installation media device from a USB (from my other computer) and had to go through a bit more trouble shooting to finally get the computer to work properly (and still kept all the files on my drive! Yay me!). I was going to give 4 stars because my experience wasnt flawless, but Im not sure if that is due to the cloning software Samsung provides or something I did. My computer is old and now super fast - crossing fingers that it will continue working great for a few (many) more years! :)
