About this product

Product Information

Samsung's 3D V-NAND flash memory architecture is a breakthrough in overcoming the density limitations, performance and endurance of today's conventional planar NAND architecture. 3D V-NAND is fabricated by stacking 32 cell layers vertically over one another rather than decreasing the cells dimensions and trying to fit itself onto a fixed horizontal space resulting in higher density and better performance utilizing a smaller footprint. The 850 EVO comes fortified with hardware-based full disk encryption engine. The AES 256 encryption-bit security technology secures data without any performance degradation and complies with TCG Opal 2.0. It is also compatible with Microsoft e-drive IEEE1667 so your data is protected at all times for your peace of mind. The 850 EVO's Dynamic Thermal Guard constantly monitors and maintains ideal temperatures for the drive to operate in optimal conditions for the integrity of your data. When temperatures rise above an optimal threshold, the Thermal Guard automatically throttles temperatures down protecting your data while maintaining responsiveness to ensure your computer is always safe from overheating. In three simple steps the Samsung's One-stop Install Navigator software easily allows you to migrate all the data and applications from the existing primary storage to the 850 EVO. The Samsung Magician software also allows you to optimize and manage your system best suited for your SSD. Samsung is the only SSD brand to design and manufacture all its components in-house allowing complete optimized integration. The result - enhanced performance, lower power consumption with an up to 1 GB LPDDR2 DRAM cache memory and improved energy-efficiency with the MEX/MGX controller.

  • Small, lightweight , no moving parts & is fast

    Very, very fast start up, used to take between 4-5 mins , now takes about 25 seconds. I had a 250Gb model & went up to this 500Gb & very pleased. Samsung is a quality product & with the software provided makes migration of old hard drive easy. I will never go back to the old hard drive with spinning disc .

  • Great value.

    I received my order only a few days after buying it. The packaging could of been better because I only received brown paper in box that was clearly too big for the product. It came in the original packaging as advertised. I bought the SSD to replace my old 120GB Kingston SSD that I got about 4-5 years ago at a similar price. I'm probably only going to use it to run the operating system. But due to the fact that it's running at about 1/4 to 1/3 capacity it will probably last a really long time, because it will have plenty of spare NAND flash to act as a buffer. I now believe that I don't need another system SSD for a very long time. The installation and migration could of gone a lot smoother. Be sure to update the migration software otherwise it won't work. And once it is migrated go into disk management and fiddle with that until you get it working and wipe the old drive.

  • Why didn't I do it sooner!

    I was most impressed by the speed of delivery. As for the product, I had confidence in ordering it because of the Brand ant reputation and, to date, it is doing what I expected of it. It is certainly much faster than the previous HDD. I keep all my photos etc., on an external HDD so 500GB as opposed to the 1TB HDD is no great loss. Great value for money. P.S. Fitting it was a doddle - even a 5 year old could do it let alone a 76 year old!

  • Fantastic!

    Cant believe the difference in speed! Was thinking of buying a new pc now mine is 8 years old. Fitted this, (the changeover was simple) and it has given my pc a new lease of life. So ,instead of spending 100`s on a new one I paid £97 for this 500gb drive. An absolute bargain!

  • This is my Second Drive

    I purchased a refurnished laptop with a standard 500GD hard drive. I replaced that slow hard drive with this Samsung SSD drive and boot up and shut down times went from 10 seconds to almost immediate. The drive is super fast and accessing files like pictures are almost instantaneous. If you want to upgrade your laptop to become a much faster machine, this inexpensive purchase alone will dramatically change your performance experience of the laptop. After purchasing the first one to replace the drive of my present laptop, I also did the upgrade to my wife's laptop which had a slower processor and less memory and discovered the same fast performance difference on her laptop. Note that the SSD drive comes with migration software which makes cloning the old laptop to the new drive painless.

  • New life for my desktop

    Everything is superfast after installing the SSD. Its like my computer got a new life. Windows server 2016 used to take about 80 secs before whereas now its reduced to 25secs. Visual studio, Adobe suits and MS suit open in a jiffy. I am absolutely loving it. Most importantly data migration is so simple with Samsung's migration tool. Apart from that haven't done any major transfers yet but can tell that the performance has improved significantly. Another thing is its completely silent. Definitely recommend this for anyone.

  • Goodbye to the HDD.

    I wanted to replace my HDD with an SSD, because the boot time of my computer was slow, but was put off by the price and the problems migrating my existing OS and all the data. However, the price of SSDs has fallen to where it is affordable, and Samsung supply software with the SSD that does the migration for you. Add to this the 5 year warranty and its a must. The drive arrived in less than 2 days from order and was up and running in less than 2 hours. Boot time has fallen to seconds, the drive is silent, and uses less energy (runs cool). The OS transfer is by USB, so an inexpensive USB to SATA 3 adapter is required.

  • Solid state drive

    After I had problems with my desktop pc hard drive I decided that a solid state drive might be worth investing in. So as prices have come down a good bit I bought one. This one came with a cd rom which would allow cloning of the existing windows operating system only it wouldn’t as it was only designed to work on windows 8 or below. It required a download of the latest software. That done the cloning went fairly well after I found I had to transfer media files to another drive. There were some initial problems booting up but when fixed the boot up times are a quarter of that previously seen.

  • Give an old laptop a new lease of life

    Upgraded a v ery old laptop with it. I used Macrium to clone the existing disk and then simply replaced it. All went very smoothly. I was surprised at the difference in performance this simple change made and strongly advise anyone thinking of it to go ahead and do it - I am sure you will be equally as happy with the end result.

  • Excellent product

    This latest purchase is of a 500 GB Samsung SSD. The two previous purchases were of 250 GB SSDs. An excellent product. Robust, fast and lightweight in that order are perquisites for a frail, elderly dodderer needing a lightweight notebook while moving around central London. The Samsung SSD meets that need in spades. I'm very pleased. So pleased I plan to buy another.
