So simple to install. Used cloning software to transfer small SSD data to this Samsung 840 Pro and was ready to go literally in 15 minutes. May buy another one just as a backup.

Hands down the best price for one of the longest lasting solid state drives on the market Samsung has the longest life on there solid state drives when compared to the others available on the market. I am a gamer and this drive is where I have all of my regularly played games and boots in and out of them very fast. Plus you won't find a better price on such a quality product out there

I made this drive my "C" drive, and installed w10 on it. I then installed my programs on the drive. No problems; except it always tested slower than it should. The speed problem turned out to be the old sata cables that I was using. Once I changed to the latest sata cable, the drive was no longer bottle necked. The drive comes with Samsung Magician software to work with the drive, whereas other manufacturers don't supply any software for you. If I was a gamer, then I would be looking for a much larger capacity drive, but for what I do, 512 gb is ok.

Great Drive. Scores under the server class OCZ Z-Drive PCI, but beats out any SATA3 drive out there. Gets a 7.9 win score. Windows 7 load times are under 10 seconds, Sims 3 with expansions went from 4:30 minutes to around 45seconds. Everything loads considerably faster, between 4-10x as fast. 2 different benchmark tools confirm advertised performance. In my build I actually got better than advertised performance. Write times are pretty quick too, and 512gb should help ease the concern about the limited number of rewrites. Pair this with a traditional hard drive for your temporary media, reduce the size of your swap file, and turn off sleep mode. You should have no probably running your priority apps for years to come. I paid around 325 bucks, so it was a great value as well.
I LOVE THIS SSD, SUPER FAST, but I don't know about reliability yet. The Migration Software is great. Those of you who are using the migration software on an existing Windows install WILL need this info to go from IDE to AHCI in your BOIS for enhancing the SSD speed and/or purely just to get the SSD to work on your system. Your system may beep and not boot if you do not do this first before removing the old HDD ..........This is for migrating your current Windows OS from HDD to your new SSD. I did this and I didn't miss a beat, I went from 1 drive to the next as if nothing happen .........1. In the Windows start menu on your old HDD drive, search box type "regedit" (without the quotes) then right click the entry and click "Run as Administrator". .........2. Enter your user credentials for the User Account Control prompt and then click Yes to open regedit. .........3. In the Registry Editor window, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetservices .........4. In the left pane click "msahci" .........5. In the right pane, right click on "start” and then click "modify". .........6. In the window that opens, change the value to "0" and click OK. .........7. Close the registry editor by clicking on File menu on the top and then Close........... Now you'll need to restart your computer and then get into the System BIOS. Change the mode from IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) to AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface). Save the changes and exit............. Windows will now install the drivers for your AHCI. You would need to restart one final time to finish the process after the drivers are installed........... I hope this helps some of you to a smooth transition over to an SSD from an old clunky HDD. Reliability, well...we'll see............. 100_percent_satisfactionRead full review
