Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hi person thinking whether or not to buy this SSD. Enough wasting your time, here comes the review... Boom, it's a good quality SSD. It works, reads/writes (nerdy tech stuff) at a really good rate for the price so in terms of performance, this baby's gonna deliver. I bought one to update my HDD to a SSD on an older laptop to improve the speed. It went smoothly so I ended up buying 3 more for my other laptops. That's right, 3 more! (Proof in the pics baby!) Buy a "SATA to USB cable" to plug the SSD to your laptop cause this SSD doesn't come with one (That's a good thing. You don't need a new cable with each drive, that would just bump the price up unnecessarilly). Also, learn whether the SSD you need is 2.5 or 3.0. They're just slightly different sizes but your laptop may use one or the other. You'll need software. I used the "Samsung Data Migration Software" (Search it) to clone my older HDD to this newer SSD and had no issues except for one of the laptops because the software wasn't detecting the SSD. Each company: Samsung, Western Digital etc, has a free software but they don't like each other so their software doesn't detect ALL hard drives. I recommend downloading the Samsung Software first cause it's just so easy to use but, if it doesn't work (If you can't see/detect and select the old hard drive), download Macrium Reflect. You can trust this one, and since it isn't made by a name brand company, it won't be bias about detecting hard drives. As a bonus, search and install "Samsung Magician". It lets you look at the SSD after it's installed, check the performance and make sure everything's hunky dory. Love this app. The hard drive is amazing and easy to use. Oh, and one thing that might trip you up is if you clone your hard drive, install the new one, but a message pops up saying something like, "D: drive isn't detected. Make sure it's connected blabla..." don't worry, it's an easy fix. You most likely cloned the drive correctly but the drive simply got a different name (The letter is the name) so you have to rename it. Serch up, "Rename hard drive on windows 10" and you should be all set. Rename it, restart the computer, done. This drive's a good buy, you won't regret it, but leave me a few cause I might get some as a gift to speed up other people's computers. I did read a nightmare scenario on here about someone who received a package that looked tampered with and it ended up being some other hard drive and not the official one. I will include pictures of how the seals should look. it should be perfect and untampered with. if you notice anything that looks weird don't even open it call up Amazon send it back. don't take chances. that kind of thing sounds like it could happen to any product. I ordered four and was happy with the results so just be a careful shopper. I also included a screenshot with the actual read/write results of the SSD after installation. The results are good. it's the picture with the red and gray bar graphs going from left to right. the far left is the size of the file tested. the red line is how quickly it wrote to the SSD. The Gray line is how quickly it read the file from the SSD. The software is called "ATTO Disk Benchmark".
