What A Difference It Makes

I have been curious about SSD for a while now. I usually see them as 256/512 GB. I have a desktop that has a hybrid SSD HD with a small SSD storage allotment. Personally, I did not notice much of an improvement on that system from four years ago. I installed this drive into my gaming rig replacing a standard SATA Drive. I cloned it with Acronos without any problem. I disconnected my old drive and fired up the box. It did seem to boot up faster, but truth be told I did not pay much attention to the first time. I had always heard that you should put the operating system on the SSD and use the standard HD as a “storage drive” for data and rarely used programs. I assume that was due to the smaller SSD drives. With the 1TB to use I kept only my most frequently used programs and games on the SSD and of course the Win 10 operating system. I moved all the video’s, music and junk over to the standard HD (I kept my original HD intact, just in case). Upon firing up the box after a little bit of housekeeping, I noticed a substantial decrease in the booting time, also by the time I got past the password screen everything was ready to go in less than 30 seconds, very impressive. Details: No cables included, no directions, compatible with 2.5 7mm Sata drives in laptops, desktops and PlayStation. Very happy with the performance, should have done this years ago. The Samsung 860 QVO 1 Tb is worth buying, you will be so happy you did.

This drive is just as fast as the EVO lineup. It’s not as reliable but it’s a lot cheaper. The drive is a good choice if you want to save some money but you also want storage capacity with the speed of an SSD. I had issues installing this on a Dell Inspiron 24. Dell’s UEFI boot wouldn’t recognize the drive after cloning it. Maybe I did something wrong but at the end and after long hours of troubleshooting I ended up disabling the UEFI boot and installing a fresh copy of Windows 10. I wasn’t able to use the data migration software but at the end the drive performed as expected from a Samsung SSD.

Brand response from Samsung

HSPITO:
Thank you for purchasing the 860 QVO SATA SSD. Newer machines with UEFI BIOS almost always have a “Legacy” setting that must be enabled. Secure Erase would work in this mode, then you would be able to switch back to a non-legacy mode to install the operating system to the SSD.
Samsung is committed to providing the best possible product experience, quality, and value, and we are always here to help with any of your questions or concerns.

Picked this up to get a faster performance from the PlayStation Pro . Definitely a great choice for speeding up those long load times . Pretty solid performance overall noticeably faster from the original hard drive . I was getting frequent error codes as I picked up the Pro from a Rent-A-Center so I could only imagine how many miles it had on it before I put a bunch on it . Still going nice and strong and haven’t gotten error codes like before . Fast performance and really easy to install . Just get a external drive and load the PlayStation software on it and your on the way to a new life in the pro. After using this I’m not going back to hdd so I did grab another drive but got the EVO since it was on sale at the times and had to go ahead and get it so if I need to swap it’s already to go

I’m highly satisfied and happy with the Samsung 860 QVO 1TB SSD drive, I sadly originally gotten the internal Hardrive because my PS4 hardrive has failed/erupted on me and forced me to get a new one. After I received the new drive the PS4 ran smooth and faster, I did my research before I buy anything and I did see a lot of positive reviews and I knew that what I was buying was a good investment and a good quality product. Yes I clearly know that I could bought this product anywhere else BUT are you guaranteed of buying something that is coming from a highly reputable company/source, I was tempted to buy it from other options but I wanted to help my Best Buy our since other big stores are going for bankruptcy.
Overall I’m highly satisfied of my new SSD and it’s going to run smother and faster the transfer speed and downloading speed runs are pretty fast and highly satisfied and honestly do recommend this product to others.

Excellent choice as a replacement drive on the Xbox One X. Less heat, less noise, quicker access. Games load faster over a factory installed conventional drive. Installed the drive and cleaned up put new heat sink gel into a brand new freshly opened system. Followed online instructions with little to zero difficulty. Voids your warranty on the gaming console, but the gains are worth it. It's been in the system for over a year now, no issues.

This is supposed to be a budget version of the Samsung 860 SSDs but it performs very well, with copy speeds of over 200MB/s on my PC for a 4GB file. I migrated my OS to this SSD and the boot time improved, as well as my overall experience.
Overall, I would recommend this product over the EVO 860, especially if you can find a better deal that you can price match.

Bought this to upgrade my PS4 drive over a year ago and it was well worth it. Faster load times for games (specifically Destiny) for me. I also ended up buying one for my laptop and Windows and Office programs operate much quicker. Reliable SSD that I haven't had a single issue with.

Bought this to upgrade my dead hard drive. Load times are noticeably faster and far less lag and stuttering. Can enjoy boost mode with a dip in frames. Tested with several different games all run smoothly. Very happy with this purchase.
