I'm still installing.  Had to dig out an old motherboard to find screws for this. Really? And now I can't find a driver.

I'm sure I won't be disappointed with performance, but this is kind of a drag.

Took me an hour to find screws that fit. So...

Happy I got this for a new build when it was on sale.

Got it on a sale for a new build

I bought this month or so and fast lots of space for my needs

Fast

Excellent product from Samsung...very very fast speed

Excellent product

Fast read and write.  One of the fastest, if not the fastest M.2 SSD and the price is reasonable vs other major brand.

Speed is king

It is the best ssd I ever use and bought that it still have space.

Download my game files fast

Good buy. The bad thing is the Samsung magician tool, no magic at all. My friend died because the app would not update the firmware.

Great features, horrible software

Very fast Gen 4 drive. For the right price this is one of the best values I've seen for an NVMe drive. Great longevity and great real world performance.

Excellent value drive

Built a new gaming system and I wouldn't anything else!

Built a new gaming system and I wouldn't anything

Good quality great speeds and at a fair price. Install is easy and works well so far.

Nice upgrade drive

I bought this because it was listed as being compatible with the PS5. Finally got around to installing it just to find out it is, in fact, not compatible with the PS5. I'm assuming I'm outside my return/exchange policy as well. Very disconcerting.

Not compatible with the PS5

It works fine. Great to have the extra space. I did have some initial blue screen issues Iwas able to resolve. 
The screw hole sizes to secure the drives are different. I had to use a motherboard screw. :-(

Great to have space

Quality SSD (read the reviews online): very fast, lots of room, easy to install. Glad I replaced my 256GB SSD, giving me lots of room to grow.

Fast and well reviewed SSD

Bought in 2020. not it is failing. worst part is I can't find support for this. 
Can't contact store, and Samsung Storage support in Philippines does not exist.

Failing SSD, no support in my country

Does not work with ps5 even though it says it does on Amazon.

Doesn't work with ps5

Bought this a month ago and its just a great easy to install storage device.

Easy to install

I always use Samsung SSD, in my builds, I've used other brands but Samsung is more durable and very fast, great brand and reputation

Outstanding

I bought this drive to be used in my gaming setup, so far it has been very good. Is super fast making gaming experience more pleasant.

Super fast!

A bit slower than my 990 Pro and 980 Pro, but does the job.  Not issues yet with the device or microcode.

Good M2 Drive but not as fast as newer ones

I have always had great luck with Samsung products.  They perform as advertised or better.  I have never had a problem.  All my M2 memory is Samsung and I have all capacities from 500's to 2tb's.
