My data is just too important to use 'slightly cheaper' or 'unknown' drives

Everything went smoothly and this drive is WAY faster than my 7200 RPM hard drive was.

This hard drive had worked great for about a year and a half.

Used as replacement for main hard drive in mid-2011 mac-mini.

This might just be a symptom of a defective drive, but that's my experience so far.

I didn't realize I would need a separate adapter to connect this drive by USB, but fortunately I had one around from another external hard drive

Turn on the computer and it cannot find the hard drive.

this device has been a great performer, no problems.replaced the slow 5400RPM drive in a dell i7720SE laptop with this SSD.the difference in overall system performance is VERY impressive, better than anticipated.with the fast SSD installed, the laptop's 8GB RAM limitation of no longer seems to an issue since paging from the SSD is so much faster

I replaced my old hard drive in my old HP dm4-1160 laptop with this SSD drive and WOW what a speed increase, my start up is so much quicker, for the price it is going to increase the life of my laptop for a long time

I bought this hard drive and used it to resurrect my 2010 Mac Book Pro and it worked well for well over a year

Great hard drive

But other than that, the drive itself is flawless.

SATA to USB 3.0 Tool-free External Hard Drive

This is a very powerful little hard drive, not as fast as a NVME drive

did when I got my first SSD drive, but that's not much of a downside, great drives, my old one was still goin strong after a few years, I just needed more space.

My computer guy attempted to remedy the problem multiple times and finally realized the error code was pointing to a faulty hard drive :( now

A great soild state drive

To me the rapid boot time is the biggest advantage plus you never have to perform a defrag operation on a solid state drive.

I was unfortunate enough to get a bad drive that failed just short of one year old, and without any warning

This is my first leap into solid state drives

My overall laptop performance increased significantly after swapping out the factory mechanical hard drive (HDD) with this solid state drive (SDD)

This is the perfect upgrade from your regular SATA hard drive

I wanted to give it that extra kick of speed and not have to worry quite so much about bumping my laptop wrong and killing the hard drive

The drives work amazingly.

Fast well built drive.

My original hard drive was starting to fail, so I replaced it with this one

It is nice to have an SSD parked next to my traditional hard drive

Perfect hard drive for MacBook Pro Non - Retina 2011.

Or I should say, I loved this drive

I highly recommend the drive.

Great solid SSD drive, a bit more expensive but well worth the price

The only reason to buy a hard drive over this (or any other solid state drive) would be price.

Great drives

The drive has been fast enough that I have not noticed that I'm working on an external

Great speed boost from the old school hard drive.

Love this drive.

Awesome solid state drive from Samsung.

this drive worked as my main startup drive in my MacBook for 6 months then died

I'm sure this is a great hard drive.

These hard drives are evidently an improvement.

The software wouldn't work with my setup, was using two hard drives in Raid configuration , but was hoping it might

the drive is great and runs fast

Love this drive

I wasn't sure how easy it would be to clone my hard drive onto this one, but it came with Samsung software that made it super easy

I used these drives in a 17" MBP for four years before the expensive one died, under the same workload

I didn't have too many files or programs on the old hard drive, but it still took an hour or two to transfer everything to the SSD.

This drive is an excellent improvement to a 7 year old laptop that Windows 10 had slowed to a

This significantly improved the performance of my laptop as it replaced an older non solid state drive..

My cheaper Kingston drive works better which is silly.

awesome drive

So far so good I am currently using this Drive as my primary for booting up the PC.

Once it arrived It was easy to install the SSD (Since this is an older Laptop the Hard Drive Bays are easily accessible unlike the newer ones that are out today) and was up & installing the OS in no time

For the price/performance this is a great drive

I just looked up a video on youtube, bought a SATA III Hard Drive Star Tech USB 3.0 cord and RION Pentalobe 6 Pentalobe 5 Phillips Tri-wing Screw Drivers off Amazon, and went to work

Replacement for a client's failing drive.

I was not prepared for how much of a performance boost this drive would give me

Not the hard drives fault though and booting up takes about 1/3 the time it used to.

Reinstalled Windows 10 activated without problem (not rejected due to change from my mechanical hard drive, my former "C" drive).

The stability and I/O ratings are what led me to the

excellent i like it
