• Reviews around hdd (2.09 of 5)

    Samsung 860 EVO 500GB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E500B/AM)

    • HDD are terrible!
    • I fixed up my father's computer last weekend as his current system was having issues, and after I'd done some work it was fairly clear that his slow HDD was the culprit
    • After replacing the battery in the system I noticed the drive Yoga 2 had was attached to the standard SATA cable, opening the option to easily upgrade the slow hdd to a ssd.
    • Though it only works in specific scenarios for that kind of speed.-Sata III type connection meaning it was compatible with a 3rd Gen Motherboard that only supports up to ivy bridge CPU.-Good for putting certain games and other apps that require decent hdd speed
    • I am sure that it is worth to try it with older notebooks because the HDD is usually the weakest part of the chain and you would most probably waste money for new notebook as same as I did
    • Great replacement for Macbook Pro 2011 HDD
    • Installed this in a late 2011 MacBook Pro 13 that had a very slow mechanical hdd.
    • This is a must in a pc build...fits a budget and greatly improves performance over just an hdd (which I ran only hdd for 2 years)..relatively easy to install (look up guides, etc)
    • Upgraded my HDD to SDD over the weekend, placed my non essential files on a HDD secondary and now my OS boots up within seconds, games run lightning fast
    • SSD.My clone process was aborted at first, because the HDD was reporting a problem - so I first had to
    • if you just need to replace your failing HDD or similar, it’s just fine
    • HDD is like night and day
    • None the less, I suspect any HDD to SSD conversion will yield some speed gain.
    • I can surf the web faster (web pages open much faster) without the previous slow HDD bottleneck
    • If I don't, more reason to get one and junk that HDD! !
    • Global Offensive and it decreased match/map loading times to roughly 10 seconds; an HDD made the wait about a minute long
