Pros: I have had many Samsung SSD's in my years of both building and repairing PC's I only use and trust Samsung. I have bought other brands to play with and they wind up being used as temporary storage.

Cons: Maybe cost but certainly nothing about the hardware.

Overall Review: Again, all I use

Pros: Fast
No moving parts
Easy physical install

Cons: Smaller than HDD @ similar price

Overall Review: Swapped this into my Lenovo and saw my boot time drop from well over a minute to right around 20 seconds.
Windows updates that took an overnight install session now finish in minutes.

Pros: This was my first new build in seven years and my first experience with an SSD. I chose this item after extensive research. It works great however, it has only been operating less than a week. I am happy how it is performing. It is much faster than my old HDD's.

Cons: I have not found anything about this unit to be a negative.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this unit. It performs as advertised.

Pros: its the additional software from samsung that make it great product ,like data migration and magician enabling rapid mode

Cons: price is a little high

Overall Review: thumbs up

Overall Review: After windows 10 attempted an upgrade it crashed my previous Samsung drive which had never had a problem. All attempts to repair the old installation failed and there was a lot of needed data on the old drive so purchasing a new Samsung for a fresh load was a no brainer. All went well and the new drive has been performing flawlessly.

Pros: So the 860 Pro Series is a bit more than the regular 860 series. That being said it will hopefully be worth the money. I put this one in my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and the install was easy as can be. It is fast and quiet. Boot time is around 10 seconds. The easiest, upgrade you can make to your computer.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have used the Samsung 850/860 series for years and they are amazing. Go forth and purchase.

Pros: Super fast.

Cons: Included SATA cable would be nice.

Overall Review: This SSD was super easy to install. Samsung's data migration software is a godsend. I simply opened up the old PC, connected the SSD to power and SATA, and powered it up. Launching the data migration software was a breeze, and the whole previous hard drive copied to this new drive rather quickly. Once complete, I removed the old HDD in its entirety, being sure to keep it as a back-up.

Pros: Nice while it worked.

Cons: Warranty support is a horrible experience. The first-line folks are initially very polite and "helpful". However, after a few days they transform into the condescending, stone-walling, non-communicative beings intent on closing your open, unresolved ticket.

Overall Review: The drive itself is OK. Nothing special - may be a little faster than the SanDisk that I have installed. Support, however, is a whole different story.

My drive began failing after about 2 years. It was sent in for "repairs" under the seemingly wonderful warranty. It came back unusable, and a subsequent ticket resulted in Samsung offering a refund. That's where it all ended. No actual refund, no updates, no nice, polite support people.

Every request for an update for the past 4 weeks has been met with a "We have no updates for you" message. A subsequent phone call with Samsung was even more disgusting, with the "manager" of the Memory Division stone-walling me and refusing to resolve, research or escalate the issue. A request to speak with his manager was refused; he claimed there was no manager. All he could offer at the end was that I must wait to be contacted.

So at this point, my SSD is with Samsung, their warranty department is not providing me with any updates, and phone calls are being met with arrogance and condescension.

In contrast, a problem with my SanDisk SSD a couple of years ago was resolved painlessly within a week.

So even if the SSD was technically superior at some point, the terrible, nightmarish experience with their warranty support department(s) is enough to turn me off any Samsung product, be it IT, appliances, TVs, etc. I don't see the need to go through such a frustrating experience *AND* be left without a product I paid for.
