I bought this Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA from Best Buy to replace my 2 TB Western Digital HD at the recommendation of the Geek Squad Tech. at my local Best Buy. She said ( I don't know if I'm allowed to name names here, but she was really well informed and knew her stuff) it would give me the boost in performance for my operating system & programs loading times I was looking for. My PC was taking 2 min.’s 30 sec.’s just to boot-up to the desk top!! I had the Greek Squad install the new drive and move my operating system & all files over to the new Samsung SSD. They did a GREAT job! I got the P.C. back in 3 day’s, NICE! My P.C. now boot’s up in 27sec’s to the desk top! WOW! What a performance boost! The Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB was also a reasonable price. I highly recommend this Samsung - 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD SATA if you're on a budget and want a reliable, stabile SSD, this one should fit the bill nicely!

I got this 1TB Samsung 870 Evo SSD to replace my failed PS4 HDD. I wish I would have done this upgrade sooner. It made console operation quieter, games loaded noticeably faster and even played a little smoother. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your PS4 HDD to an internal (or even external) SSD, do it! It’s worth it!

I recently upgraded my laptop with the Samsung 870 EVO 1TB Internal SSD, and the experience has been nothing short of fantastic. One of the biggest challenges with laptop upgrades is the complexity involved, but this SSD made it a breeze, thanks to its compatibility with a SATA USB cable. Ease of Installation: The installation process was surprisingly easy. The SSD was ready to use with just a simple connection using a SATA USB cable. This plug-and-play setup is a game-changer for anyone not well-versed in computer hardware. It took no time to get the drive up and running, and the process was straightforward even for an advanced user like me and easily done for novices. i.e. Connect the SSD with a SATA to USB cable and connect this to your computer. Right-click on the Start menu and select 'Disk Management'. In Disk Management, find the SSD (shown as 'Unallocated'), right-click it, and select 'Initialize Disk'. Select GPT (GUID Partition Table) as the partition style. Right-click on the unallocated space on the SSD, select 'New Simple Volume', and follow the wizard. Assign a drive letter and format to NTFS. Lastly, Right-click the new volume, select 'Format', choose 'NTFS', and leave the allocation unit size as default. Your new SSD is ready to use and just like that you expanded your laptop's storage space in minutes and without compromising the speed of using an SSD! Performance: What impressed me the most was how the Samsung 870 EVO maintained the lightning-fast speed expected from an SSD. There's often a concern that expanding storage might compromise performance, but this drive dispelled all those doubts. My laptop now boots up faster, and applications load in the blink of an eye. The 1TB capacity is a massive upgrade, especially for laptops where storage is usually limited. Expanding a laptop's storage is often seen as a daunting task, but this Samsung SSD makes it accessible, easy, and Its cost-effective way to breathe new life into an older laptop or enhance the capacity of a new one. The boost in storage space is a significant advantage for anyone dealing with large files or requiring more space for applications and games. The Samsung 870 EVO 1TB SSD is a stellar choice for anyone looking to expand their laptop's storage. It's easy installation, coupled with its top-notch performance, makes it a must-have for both tech enthusiasts and casual users. This SSD proves that upgrading a laptop doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Highly recommended for those seeking a balance between ease of use and powerful performance.

Purchased for the wife's older laptop. Having past experiences with SSDs, I knew the speed difference would be more than noticeable. The wife, however, was pleasantly shocked that the old computer was made somewhat "new-ish" again. It was very easy to switch out in a Lenovo (old hdd in photo) and copy over (get the affordable SSD to USB kit to copy the data from the old HDD first, then install SSD). We can put off buying a new laptop for at least another year or so. Thanks Samsung for another quality product!

Good value. Pickup from Best Buy went smoothly. Used the new SSD to replace the original 10 year-old drive in my Dell laptop which had suddenly failed. SSD was easy to install. Performance of my laptop is much improved with the new SSD.

Samsung makes the best SSD drives! I have been using these drives exclusively for several years now, and have stopped using any others. They are fast and reliable.

I originally purchased this to upgrade my PlayStation 4's storage and loading performance, which it managed to do as expected and above, the load times are incredibly fast and the menus work better than intended. Product went above and beyond expectations while also being at a reasonable price.

Had zero issues with it, worst part was mounting it because I needed to buy screws seperately, but I'm probably going to replace one of my HDDs anyway so i got a bay for 2 SSDs. Since its an SSD, I just let it rest somewhere because it doesn't have any moving parts. Samsung also has software for diagnostics of their drives. I've had this one for just under a year (review is start of September, bought the drive the previous end of October), and it's seeing no issues after 4TB of data having been written to it.

Easy installation. Worked flawlessly for PS4 Hard drive upgrade. Recommended for anyone looking for inexpensive major upgrade to there PS4 devices or computers.

This Samsung 1TB SSD is a perfect storage device for safe, secure, accessible storage of data. A great price point for the 1TB.

Fast, reliable, exactly as expected. Replaced in a mini PC. Access to the magician software makes data migration easy and ongoing drive monitoring a breeze.

I bought this drive to replace a dying 2004 Hard Drive on my Pump It Up Arcade Cabinet. It works a lot better since it is a SSD and is more reliable. It loads a lot faster as well.

Fast and reliable, best sata ssd you can buy to upgrade any old pc or laptop.

Changed from HDD to an SSD and disk usage % dropped abysmally. I used to have 100% disk usage recurrently, and now it remains below 20%. I bought it two years ago and it still performs great (see picture below) Normally I play League of Legends or Minecraft, which aren't very demanding games as it comes to data retrieval, but if you're thinking about switching to solid state definitely go for it.

I just got it today and installed it. It works as it should this is a must buy because this SSD is so fast I have 2 In my computer now.

A fantastic deal on these right now. I bought 4 of these. I love these SSD drives. They are so fast and haven’t had any issues

This SSD replaced a failed HHD on an older i7 computer. The improvement I got in speed was far greater than I expected. Everything improved from boot time to programs loading and running smoother. This relatively small priced purchase gives this computer many more years of very productive use.

Wanted to get storage for my modded PS2. Yep still rocking the best retro console ever and figured out that there’s a big modding community still alive for it. Wanted to future proof it for years to come. Needed it to be quiet, cool, and a large amount of storage for it. This 1TB Samsung SSD does all those things.

Best ssd easy, reliable, easy to hook up, i wouldnt pick any other

Back in 2022, I wanted to upgrade to upgrade my hard drive that came from my PC installed (which is HDD) because it was getting slow few years later since I bought it. So I bought this Samsung hard drive and followed the instructions. After installing, I'm impressed with the speeds especially the startup, which is close as advertised (see picture below) and as of typing this review, it's still going strong! Opening Chrome takes an instant and it loads games faster as well, but do not expect to load lightning fast when it comes to gaming. Now I don't have to wait for a while! For those who are planning to buy this drive, you need an adapter (USB to SATA) to transfer data from your old drive to this new SSD drive (will take you a few hours depending how much is stored). Therefore, I highly recommended this if you're looking to upgrade.
