    You need to know this
    With almost 30,000 reviews as I write this it would seem there’s not much to add. I have to admit I didn’t read every one of them before I made my decision but it still took me six months to decide to finally do it. I’m happy I did. I won’t throw a lot of specs into this because they are worthless when other people you don’t know talk about how their system performs. There is only one way to know how this drive will perform in your system and that is to buy it and try it and return it if you don’t like it. That’s the most important thing I can say about this.Besides that there are a couple of things that are more universal that you should know.1. Unless you specifically choose the option to purchase an installation kit the only thing you get is the drive in a vacuum formed plastic tray. It’s not even wrapped in any antistatic material. I was surprised that there wasn’t even a bag of tiny screws.2. There is no driver or software included but you can download them. The software only works with a specific list of Samsung drives. It includes some valuable tools but otherwise it is pretty basic and easy enough to understand that you don’t have to be a computer expert to figure it out.3. This is a SATA drive. While it ranks high on performance compared to other similar drives it is absolutely puny in my HP Z2 G4 workstaton compared to the Samsung NVMe boot drive that came preinstalled. This is according to their own Magic software.4. For me the task of putting it in to my computer took all of five minutes from popping the top off to plugging it back in. The software comes with a few performance enhancements which I usually ignore but in this case I just opted to let them go for it. I have experienced no negatives by doing so. I do a lot of intensive graphic, photo and video work on my workstation and this drive is one of the best performing I’ve owned.5. The relatively well written instruction manual shows important connectors that are NOT included, although they indicate that they are necessary to use the product. You have to find (good luck) and buy those connectors yourself.6. While not a factor in rating this item there is something very typical with those who sell here. You can look at a product for months and the price doesn't budge a penny but the day after you actually place your order they suddenly drop the price permanently. Most stores would offer price protection but no, not this seller.Again, my best advice is to just do it and see if you like it. It works fine in my system so I would recommend it if it's what you're looking for.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Better for sure. But I wont lie like 10x speed
    Reviewed in India on May 1, 2021
    I rated 5 stars. This shows I am satisfied with the product. However I like to write few things here being an Video editor and Designer.
    Before 2 years i purchased Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7200U CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.70 GHz 8gb ram. After an year I added another 8gb ram. Things helped a little while working with premiere pro or photoshop. Still lightroom took massive 30 or 40 seconds to load. Also Premiere got hanged for 3-5 seconds many times during color grading (not crash). Also crashed many times while working on text layers. Now after 2.5 hard years I just replaced inbuilt 2 TB HDD with this newly bought 1TB Samsung 860 EVO. Now let me write the differences happened.

    Pros:
    Boot time just 5 -8 seconds. Installed 2021 version of Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Blender 3D, After effects, etc., Lightroom opens so quickly now which is a masiive surprise. Premiere pro no hang at all. However windows crashed 3 times which i assume as software issue. Photoshop 2021 also comfortable to open and work when premiere pro is rendering a HD video file. File transfer speed inside different drives is 100-150mbps normally (practially 100-150 not 300-400mbps). After this SSD purchase honestly I admit my tensions were reduced so much while working on video editing. with 10K investment, I would say this is also a Health Investment for me (lol) as I am free now of from unwanted tensions.

    Cons:
    Cons is really not a cons at all. Just want to remind some facts and say don't over expect everything on this SSD alone. Recently i transfered 8 tb of files from different external hard disks. Some i copied to system and moved. Others were USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 and 1 significantly 128gb SSD. Here comes my point. SSD to SSD means it must be top speed. Right?
    I copied 30 gb from system to 128 gb sandisk SSD. for this I used Sata to USB 2.0 cable as thats what I had. The average transfer speed was just 37 mbps. Though I still take the blame on USB 2.0 cable, things like this happens. Some peoples just blame their PC SSD blindly. USB cable and USB port also matters.

    So for this reason, I always copy my video files to system SSD itself. 1 TB is very limited for guys who work multiple projects at same time. But considering the amount we spend on this SSD and how much it helps alone matters here.
    for me its very fine to work 2 wedding projects at the same time. Everything is so cool with this SSD purchase.
