The good news is that the drive came with a 5 year warranty.  The bad news is it only made it 2 years before failing with no warning what so ever.  Data recovery efforts yielded nothing.  While it worked, it was fast and woke the computer way up and I was satisifed, right up until it failed.  Currently working through the warranty process and am patiently waiting for the remedy.

Failed with no Warning

Its fast and great durability. Good value for money

Fast copying speed

If you want to breathe new life in an old PC just add one of these drives and be amazed at the difference in boot time and load time for applications.  You can't go wrong with Samsung...

Very Fast

I purchased this drive awhile ago and it has been a great SSD. It's fast and nothing mechanical to wrong with it.

It's a great SSD

Speeded up my 5-year-old computer. Saved me from having to buy a new computer

Speeded up my 5 year old computer

I bought this SSD  like 1 3 months ago and it is working well Fast and has not giving me any trouble run My OS on it and a few games. Works great no issues.

Works great

I installed the SSD in my dell desktop a tear ago.  It performs flawlessly and added speed to my old PC.

Fast and reliable

We've purchased a number of the Samsung NVME SSDs as internal storage and external devices over the last few years and no complaints so far. Reliable and performs as expected. We just bought these additional 2 and expect them to perform the same.

NVME SSDs perform as expected

Very fast and works well in heat and cold. I own 6 of these

Solid SSD

doa drive, arrived dead, unable to recognize the drive on multiple pc's nor does it respond via sata to usb adapter...waste of money.  :-(

DOA drive

ssd died loosing all data, computer will not post to bios when installed.

SSD died after a year

the 860 evo 500gb mz-76e500b/am has served me well for more than three years.

samsung's reputation of durability and speed with their ssds holds true for this consumer review. i'm thoroughly pleased and satisfied with this product. five of five stars.

it hasn't been quirky a single time. you would expect it not to be quirky. it is solid state, after all.

and what about the design of the product? like that holds any relevance whatsoever for most folks? i'd consider it to be minimal, simple and "sexy" as far as computer products go. xd lol it's subtly textured, i believe, like a bit of grain on it or something. what's with the gray blip square in the bottom center? ahahaha. funky.

Outstanding speed and durability

this ssd is great for ps4 upgrade, faster load time in game, faster download and upload.

Great upgrade for PS4 pro

my !tb ssd 860 evo became unavailable after 13 months. now i wait for a "used" ssd replacement for my failed one that will have a 90 day warranty ad i loose two (2) years of warranty because it failed. i bought two at of these and the other started to slow down in response so i replaced it with a different ssd but will return it to service and wait for it to die completely.
i have stopped trusting samsung for my ssd and memory in general. for what it is worth i have five ssd's in service and have had no trouble with other brand. yet!

unavailable

Best in class and fast delivery within 2 days delivered

860 evo

Good deal

It works...idk what else I can say its a Internal SSD lol

Amazing

Love the speed on this. Upgraded my Mac pro 2010 from EVO 840 to EVO 860. So happy with the performance. Getting full Read and Write as advertised plus minus 10 mbps.

Great SSD

This SSD isn’t the one that mounts to the motherboard itself, but with that being said it performs up to expectation. Very basic but it gets the job done!

Samsung 860 Evo 500GB Review

Great investment

Affordable and more than enough for portable photo storage.

Great SSD, decent speed.

good experience.

Speed and response time is what you would expect from Samsung Solid State Drive
Excellent product definitely gets the job done.

Good Stuff

tired of your old, slow computer ?
replace your old hard drive with this new ssd drive either by cloning your system or by a clean install of win 10 and transferring your files. this will literally wake-up your computer. this is the single, best upgrade you can do for computing pleasure.

Samsung SSD Drives

Samsung SSDs are my go to for upgrading laptops or older desktops and they do a phenomenal job

Simply the best SSDs on the market

Works great fits it the spot it supposed to and formatted easily

Great pick

Got it in a reasonable time frame, didn't have to try to plug it in more than once, has just under a TB of usable storage.

It Is What You Ordered

Excellent storage solid size fitted perfectly and I love that Samsung makes solid state drives love it!
