Pros:
Fast.
Economical.
Reliable.
worked for 4 1/2 years.
Cons:
Made in China.
It died.
Overall Review:
Would I recommend this? Yes. :)
Is it still available? No. :(
It lasted a fantastically long time(4 1/2 years) as a main drive on a Gigabyte G1 gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151. (The computer still runs, but with a HDD until a replacement is acquired).
Will I buy from Samsung again? Probably, This has been a good, long lasting drive.
It finally started not wanting to start the Win 7 (got hung up on the splash screen and would not go any farther).
Going to keep it in an external enclosure until it totally fails as temporary storage for non sensitive files.
Overall Review: I was hesitant to move to an SSD, let alone an M.2, due to longevity concerns. Three years so far and no issues, definitely a performance improvement over HDDs.
Pros: worked fast and everything ran smooth
Cons: only lasted for 3 years, pretty hard gaming rig. I expected it to last for 5 or more years.
Pros: If you haven't tried a M.2 before, i'll be frank for you... You should. The drive i had was solid for over a year of service, and not once before i killed it did i have a problem. Loaded fast, kept all my programs on it, my constant use playlist and other data i accessed constantly. Never had one bit of trouble for everyday use.
Cons: Sadly, I don't think you should use just ONE. I made the mistake of not having a spare, and i paid in full with a crash that killed my PC build. The rest of the computer is fine, just lost this drive. Shame. I liked it loading instantly.
Overall Review: Had i done more research, I'd have jumped to a 950EVO when i had the oppurtunity. Samsung has a good thing going, and i liked the 850EVO while it worked. I'd love to try the 860EVO line they have going.
Pros: The value for buck on these speedy EVO big drives is delicious. Slotted in the MB and that's it
Cons: Not as fast as NVME. But seriously? At this value price who cares because it is still super fast.
Pros: I had windows 10 installed and running in 10 minutes from booting up the flash drive to being on the desktop. Everything is really snappy and programs install super quick. I don’t even have time to watch windows 10 load up because it’s a matter of seconds until I’m at the desktop. This drive is crazy fast and I’m very impressed! I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive crazy fast M.2 SSD
Cons: None
Pros: Seems to be a great dive.
Cons:
Not compatible with my MB.
Looks like I'm going to have to do an RMA and lose 15% to a restocking fee.
Overall Review: Make sure your MB supports SATA M.2 before you buy this or be forced to pay a restock fee when you have to RMA for the PCI-e version!

Pros: 4 Years old and running strong. No issues
Cons: None!!!
Overall Review: It has ran for four years in a intel build I put together. Pc runs non stop. Only reboots for updates and no issues. Samsung has some great products.
