5 out of 5 eggsWorth the Extra Money

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Fast for a consumer drive - Much faster than the SLOWER THAN ADVERTISED king*ston I bought originally and faster than the P*NY I bought after that.

Cons: Now you can get twice the storage for almost the same price - so much for early(ish) adopters.

Other Thoughts: Never thought SSD would make SUCH a difference!

5 out of 5 eggsSAMSUNG 840 EVO

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Fast
Easy to instal
Probably the most noticable upgrade I've ever done to a laptop or computer. I have an Acer laptop with two hard drive slots, so I kept my much larger HDD, backed up the important data, and installed the Samsung 840 EVO. For some reason I could not use my Windows 8 key when doing a fresh Windows install on the SSD, but my university gave me a free copy of Window 8/8.1. The OS was installed insanely fast, and I easily set up file paths and such to maximize the use of the HDD and SSD. Definitely worth the money.

Cons: none

5 out of 5 eggsFreaky Fast

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: This drive is worlds faster than the others I have. I didn't experience any trouble before the performance fix, but I'm hoping it stays stable now that it is out. Reads and writes over 500 and makes the 250 range my Corsair LS gets seem like outdated tech.

Cons: Not Free.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat SSD For Boot Drive

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: I have this SSD mainly my boot drive. It's a great for starters. T

Cons: Your going to have a war with this card getting into the BIOS! Not a Con, but worth it!

Other Thoughts: This is best money you can buy while at discount price. Once you plan to upgrade I'll get 200+ GB for mainly Games, and HDD for everything else.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome!

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: This is my first experience with an SSD. It worked as expected right out of the box.

Cons: .None that I can see. Kind of wish it had a temperature sensor built in (or if there is one it was easier to find)

Other Thoughts: I feel odd placing such a tiny little slab in my desktop PC. I am an electronics engineer by trade, but freely admit this technology is new to me in this application, so I am not really qualified to make valid statements on this item. Got it as part of a DIY combo bundle- great deal. Loaded Win 7 x64 on it in roughly 6 minutes. Very impressive to my slightly outdated mind.

5 out of 5 eggsCrazy fast

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Have two 840 EVO's already and will get another. No problem installing win-7, everything went smooth and fast, and now programs load instantly. If you don't have this drive on your pc, you really are missing out on something amazing.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: Samsung released a firmware upgrade for the EVO and it's simple and easy to do.

5 out of 5 eggsIs it fast? Yes.

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: It's fast, and also, it is fast. Small, and light.

Cons: Fairly expensive. Got it on shell shocker though (finally).

Other Thoughts: I used velcro to mount it on my power supply so I can show it off while simultaneously covering the psu info stickers. Bi-winning!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat drive all issues aside

This review is from: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Samsung has the best SSD's out there, even given the latest discovery about the EVO series. I have not noticed any issues to date; but I know that the upcoming firmware update will fix any issues others might have.

I would say at this time - 10/12/2014 - that I would hold off purchasing the EVO series until Samsung issues a fix, but honestly the drive is great regardless. I think that a dent in sales for a few months might ensure the fix is delivered smoothly, but all in all Samsung is the way to go.

Cons: None yet. The performance issue that you can read about on pretty much any tech forum has not been an issue for me, but test data proves that it is real. Buy with caution at this time, simply because it is a known issue. Would you really buy any other product that had a known issue? Again I have to recommend holding off until the firmware fix.

Other Thoughts: Nothing against Samsung, just please get the firmware update out there so we can buy with confidence again. If you want to stay with Samsung, spend the extra 50 and get a 256 Pro.
