I use Linux Mint 17.3 on my other computers but I have to use Windows on this one because it is in my ham shack as the majority of ham software is written for Windows. Unfortunately, my ham shack is in my garage, and being in northern California, the summer temps can be in the mid 90's in the garage. My processor is water cooled and I also have several case fans and a memory fan. This little drive stays right at room temp and never slows down. I am extremely happy with this drive and I consider it a good value for the money. There may be faster drives but you won't be able to tell the difference.
The Packaging is really solid one, inside you find the drive and a quick installation guide, which I threw away obviously, the installation is a straight forward one, insert the drive in the slot, and secure it with one screw, then download the Samsung Migration Tool, free from Samsung website, so easy to use, you can Clone your OS partition (like I did), or you can just install a fresh copy of Windows ( or Linux if you are a Windows hater), and you will notice an immediate difference in loading speeds, specially if you come from a HDD background (I've been using SSDs for 4 years now, so it is not really a huge improvement for me, still this drive feels faster at loading Windows, eventhough I didn't run an actual test yet.
Would I recommend this drive? well, it depends on your free slots and budget, you can get a much faster PCI-E based drive or even a NVMe one at 180+ $ Dollars, but you should be aware that you should have a free PCI-E slot ( Specially for laptops, in most desktops this is not an issue), but if you are like me, lack the slot and/or the budget, then you can never go wrong with this Drive.
Installed in a Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK 15.6 Inch FHD Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 8 GB SSD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
First I want to say, I am no computer guru, but I am someone who will teach myself when needed. That said, I installed the drive in the M.2 slot and then restarted my computer. I then used Samsung's migrating software, to clone my HDD. I then tried to find the drive in the file explorer, thinking it would recognize it and differentiate it from my 1TB HDD. Turns out that it makes an exact copy, and they both become the C drive. Because I'm not great with computers, I had to figure out what to do. I'm sure there are plenty reading this, who know the ins and out of this, and will probably think this is a simple problem. Not for me..lol
After looking for the drive, worrying I broke something, or didn't put the drive in right, turns out its a simple fix. All you should really have to do is right click on the window icon on the very left corner of the screen, the start menu, and a list will pop up. Just go to disc management and you'll see a box come up showing both drives. One of the drives will probably be offline, all you have to do it put it back online by right clicking the little icon on the left box showing the partitions. There is even a little red danger icon next to it when it's offline, so you shouldn't have trouble finding it. When I cloned it with the Samsung software, it automatically made the new drive the main c drive and shut off the old HDD, and I got a disc signature collision error. I don't know if your computer will do the exact same thing. but that's the fix if it does.Everyone's computer and situation will be different, but if something similar happens to you, Hopefully this helps you. I'm sure this has probably been discussed in the comments here, but as i have not read everyone, i'll add it in case. I now have my OS system and music recording software on my SSD, while my HDD is my D drive to save pics,music and such. You can change which drive windows will save things to by going into settings, then system, then under storgae.
The speed of this drive has been talked about in most all the comments, and it is super fast. It takes more time to type my password in then it does to start, 5-10 seconds and you are ready to go. This drive is a no-brainer, and I don't know why they are still using 5400rpm drives in 1000$ computers, or really any computer now.
I did want to add, after some reading about reviews and such on the various M.2 SSD drives, I found out that the Samsung 850 EVO M.2, has a turbowrite feature that is not even in their pro EVO line. So, it makes this drive one of the best to buy right now, and priced pretty much in line with all the other brands, but is a faster drive, at least that's what the review said. Awesome drive either way, get it!

Those who things SSDs are costly, mind it, it is not a superfluous upgrade....but a must have. Even your i3 systems will be snappy in day today use.
He cogido un portatil ASUS GL752VW-T4064D (4 estrellas, pierde la 5ª por el teclado sobre todo, y la bateria)
Le he añadido este disco duro, Samsung EVO MZ-N5E500BW - Disco SSD de 500 GB (porque la diferencia de precio con el 250, no merecía la pena quedarse en 250) - 5 estrellas, de momento no encuentro pegas.
Le he puesto también HyperX Impact - Memoria RAM de 8 GB DDR4 (2133 MHz, CL13, DIMM 260-pin) - 5 estrellas, de momento no encuentro pegas.
RESULTADO: portatil 17¨¨, SSD 500 GB + HDD 1TB a 7.200 r.p.m + 16 gb RAM
VALORACIÓN : No tengo palabras.... Se enciende / apaga al instante. Todo se abre "Ya", al instante, sin tiempos de espera, mirando la pantalla, ... incluso cuando ya tienes abierto un chrome con 10 pestañas, un IExplorer con 5 pestañas, 3 words, y 3 ó 4 excels... , todo se abre y cierra "YA", en cuanto lo pides, sin esperas, "ya", "ya", "ya"... sencillamente, maravilloso.
... Lo único que lamento, es no haberlo hecho antes, demasiado tiempo perdido en esperas y reinicios, hasta que tomé la decisión.
Bueno, por poner una pega, SI TENGO UNA (que le cuesta una estrella, sin dudarlo), al teclado rojo, muy bonito.... pero poco practico, donde esté un teclado que se vea bien (teclas negras y letras blancas, o teclas gris claro metálico, con letras negras), no hay color. CON LAS TECLAS ROJAS, no se ven, .. NI RETROILUMINADAS!!. Teclado rojo mola mucho, ... pero es un tostón, no es práctico ni funcional.
Y la segunda pega, .. la batería. Es IMPERDONABLE:
- Pequeña para este pepino. Absurdo.
- Y al no ser extraible, previsiblemente (.. por mucha tecnología de control de carga, etc) se vida se acortara con el uso.
La herramienta para clorar discos de Samsung hace realmente muy fácil y segura las cosas para migrar de un HDD A UN SSD
El rendimiento del disco se mantiene constante siempre,no se calienta, el encendido apagado e inicio de programas es rapidísimo. Probablemente la mejor inversión que puedes hacerle a tu compu en estos momentos...
(Probado en mi equipo ASUS ROG GL752VW)
I have strong faith in its reliability. One of my other laptops has used an 850 Evo SSD (but in 2.5" form), also 250GB, since mid 2013 and is still working very well. The rule of thumb is that Intel and Samsung have the most reliable SSDs, after all.
Verpackung war leicht zu öffnen, sodass man nicht Gefahr läuft das Teil zu beschädigen durchs auspacken.
Einbau auf einem Z170N-Wifi von Gigabyte in einem Zalman M1 Gehäuse auf der Unterseite des Mainboards verlief ohne Probleme. Die SSD wurde auf Anhieb erkannt und es funktioniert alles wie es soll - Als Bootplatte für meinen Homeserver reicht es locker und selbst VM's starten zügig (deren virtuelle Festplatten liegen ebenfalls auf der SSD) und lassen sich halbwegs flott bedienen. Geschwindigkeitsmessung habe ich keine gemacht - aber Ubuntu 16.04 mit 2 selbststartenden VM's braucht ca, 25 Sekunden bis zum Login ab Power ON (das BIOS schluckt aber sicher 10 Sekunden davon). Unter Windows hab ich sie nicht getestet - aber einen ESXi habe ich kurz installiert gehabt - auch dieses Betriebssystem akzeptierte die SSD ohne Murren.
Fazit: tut was sie soll, braucht wenig Platz.
Hinweis: auf meinem Mainboard ist die M.2 Slot auf der Unterseite und daher muss es ausgebaut werden um an die SSD heran zu kommen - aber das ist wahrlich kein Fehler der SSD sondern ein Konstruktionsmerkmal des Mainboard welches ich akzeptieren kann.
