    Samsung 850 PRO - 512GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE512BW)

    • Makes a good Boot drive
    • Fast and easy to install in Windows 10.Machine now cold boots in 3 secs.
    • Performance with SSD is much faster, especially initial boot, than standard HDD
    • Windows boots from hibernation to usable in under 8 seconds and it destroys any game I put on it
    • SPEEDY, Boot time on an HP laptop went from minutes to 19 seconds.
    • Great drive - fast boots, but more importantly, fast app start up and switching
    • great bought 2 very fast boot windows 10 in 13 seconds
    • Real fast boots, my work with CAD graphics is much faster now, great family videos and games
    • Lightning fast boot.
    • Fast boot up and it does everything it is supposed to do
    • the positive side, booting is super fast and the performance of the whole system (running Yosemite) seems to have increased quite a bitTherefore only three stars.
    • Absolutely amazing speed, 10 second boot up time!
    • Extrememly fast booting, takes less than 14 seconds to reboot
    • 3 secs thanks to ASRock Ultra Fast boot.
    • I have two OCZ SSD's and they rate at best 7.0 in windows 7 performance and boot 10 to 15 seconds slower
    • My go-to for a good boot-device harddrive!
    • A cold boot up has dropped form 5-7 minutes to 50 seconds with the 850 PRO
    • An Apple support page also recommends that when the boot progress bar is hanging in El Capitan one should go back to Yosemite
    • After installation, boot ups are much faster
    • No issues with running OSX Maverick and incredibly faster boot times and overall performance with some of the larger applications.
    • Awesome SSD, Win10 boots under 10 seconds.
    • Great product; incredibly fast boot; lightweight and easy to install.
    • After installing the 850 PRO 512GB SSD it now takes 90 seconds for a cold boot to complete
    • My Mac boots in 15 seconds, that's faster boot than my iPad
    • Windows boots from hibernation to usable in under 8 seconds and it destroys any game I put on it
    • After rebooting and making sure that the setting in the BIOS to boot from the new SSD was still set correctly, I got an error message on a black screen that stated "Reboot and select proper boot device".
    • Super fast boot up now.
    • But after a reboot, the system was showing "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"
    • Excellent boot drive!
    • Much faster boot up.
    • The only advantage over mechanical drives is a faster boot.
    • They breathed new life into some Dell workstation-class laptops...significantly faster booting up, etc.
    • better battery life faster boots
    • fast boot up
    • It's another thing entirely to see your system, which probably takes upwards of 30 seconds on a standard HDD to start up, boot up from a cold boot in less than 10
    • Wonderful boot drive as I said.
    • (Apart from PCI-E SSDs) I think since the release of this SSD I've gone through maybe 30 of them now, always easy to install, great boot times, and instant access to the NAND technology packaged with these Samsung PROS
    • That happened during the install of the 2nd SSD that worked, and not sure what it was about my HP Envy 17t-n100, but the drive port on the right side of the board, nearer the USB hard drive, opposite side of bluray player, etc.... it would drop out constantly
