Samsung 860 PRO 1 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive

My God this thing is fast, windows 7 fully boots in about 15 seconds and opening programs is almost instant.
In general all the apps and the boot up of the OS are really more faster.
Not cheap but impressive reliability figures and super fast, I'm really happy with the upgrade.
My laptop fly's with this SSD. Good speed.
Use this as my main drive for booting - very fast.

Samsung 860 EVO SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD

The boot time is ridiculously fast and the whole thing feels like a new machine.
My games are super fast to load in now. Significantly less stutter and lagging means im getting more fps than before.
Works great. Really fast starting up the games (specifically Ark and Space Engineers) and no time outs!
I bought several of these for storage of data that needed to be used on several workstations, they are fast, easy to use and seem like an excellent option.
The drive works as expected, i.e. delivers the advertised speeds, and after 3 few weeks use is reliable.

What customers say about "Features"

Samsung 860 PRO 1 TB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive

I replaced a 500GB HDD with this 1TB SSD. Good SATA connect.
Fastest real world SATA SSD I've used, better reliability specs for peace of mind.
Its fast and reliable, and my laptop stay a little longer on battery.
The 2.5in SATA form factor works well with the Dell 2.5in to 3.5in adapters that fit into the existing drive caddies.
Having bought this I realized that the performance is limited by the SATA Interface.

Samsung 860 EVO SATA 2.5-inch Internal SSD

The difference with HDD is simply amazing, very fast!
Excellent SSD. Installed inside my 27 inch late 2013 iMac and it has decreased the start up time from 2 min 15 seconds to just 30 seconds!
Easy to install as I was only replacing an existing drive.
Worked straight out of the box for a clean Windows 10 install.
Installation was easier than expected and the hard drive works incredibly well.
