Great speed and reliability for an amazingly affordable price.
Kyle –
Pretty fast SSD but I feel like my speeds for loading up windows and other applications could be better. I did factory reset my pc and installed a fresh version of windows on this drive so I know there is nothing limiting the speed. Using the Samsung Magician software is easy and it gives you the option to maximize performance. Installation is easy and setup was easy as well. Overall I would recommend and I still believe Samsung makes the best SSDs available.
