Pros: Snappy with loading operating systems during boot. MSI's B85M motherboard (Fast Boot) will work just fine with this SSD. V-NAND will help with performance, though this is literally the first SSD I've ever put in my builds.
Cons: Storage space. If you really need the space for more than just your operating systems and applications, get the 250GB version. You can at least store a few games in there. If you're that concerned, get a 500GB SSD (whether it's this one or another), though you'll be coughing up more dough than you really need to.
Overall Review: I have seen in the reviews that upgrading to the newest Samsung Magician (at least the firmware) for this SSD tends to render the SSD inoperable, period, so by far I wouldn't take the risk if the SSD works just fine, and that I have done. The SSD is fine without Samsung Magician, and the software is mainly optional, to begin with. Remember to make sure *not* to defragment any SSD, as you will degrade its overall performance quickly than it usually does just by itself, according to information posted online by reliable sources.
Pros: Increased speed of my laptop booting up tremendously. Other programs boot very fast.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Using as boot drive in my laptop. I got a HDD caddie to put old hard drive in optical slot. Works Great! Be sure to create restore disk or flash drive to do a fresh install with factory software. That way you can reinstall your operating system directly from drive in the future. It did not seem to work that way by simply cloning.
Pros: -Very fast -Looks good -easy installation
Cons: Nothing
Overall Review: I boot up in literally 4 seconds from completely shut down to the desktop screen, I timed it. I have all my games on it and everything opens lightning fast. Although this thing on paper is the same as many other SSDs, it's actually much faster in real life tests. I recommend this to anyone seeking speed while gaming,surfing and booting up his PC. This thing breaths new life into old PCs as much as making new PCs lightning fast. I will probably buy a couple more.
Pros: Easy to install, windows recognized them instantly and now have them running in raid 0 with all my programs installed.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Amazing SSD drives for the price, read/write speeds are as promised and given the chance i would upgrade to a higher capacity drive but i got these on sale and they do everything i need plus some
Pros: Decided to get this for my new build and it cut boot times in half as well as loading apps almost if not instantly.
Cons: None really, I'm happy with the performance.
Pros: love this SSD. it's only the third that I've purchased. the first was the 840 EVO which has worked great. the second was a sandisk model. this new 850 EVO is awesome. with my AMD A10-5800K and 8GB of RAM I'm getting less than 10 second boot times. my 840 EVO is paired with a core i7 and 8GB ram and I have to say this new build is at least the same or faster. I'm very happy with the drive so far and I'd buy one again.
Cons: none
Overall Review: installing win 8.1 was a breeze. the drive is so fast. if it could be just a bit cheaper it would really be awesome.
Pros: -fast -cheap -reliable -saves battery
Cons: -not really a con but my laptop wont boot from usb so it took a while to migrate windows.
Pros: This thing is plug and play. Scores a 7.9 in windows. Takes only 20 seconds from clicking restart to be back at the desktop! Paid $95 a piece.
Cons: No SSD mounting frame included.
Overall Review: There is no reason anyone should be using mechanical drives for their OS primary at this price point.
