After installing the drive and booting up the computer, it did not show up anywhere at first. I gave it a second reboot and I could see it in Disk Management. Check. I had read a few things about cloning your OS from the old hard drive to the new SSD and basically you have to shrink your OS volume with any programs you'd like to keep on the SSD to be less than the size of the SSD. So I did that, moving all my media (Pictures, Videos, Music) to my backup drive temporarily. the new size of the volume was about 92 GB, which included everything except my media (Programs and OS files). I also had to account for about 25 GB for the recovery partition, so in total I was looking at ~117 GB to copy to the SSD from my old drive.
The Data Migration software that came with the drive is a big disappointment. I had read mixed reviews about it, mostly bad, but was hoping it would go well for me just to make things easier. Well it never got close to working. There was barely any chance to customize the cloning and it kept listing the SSD's name as the source even though it displayed the size of my 1TB HDD. Every time I would try to start the cloning, it would say that the source disk had been disconnected 5 seconds after clicking "Start". A co worker had previously mentioned Acronis for drive/OS cloning and I had also seen some good things about it online. So I purchased a copy for $50 from their site. Totally worth it! Setting up the cloning was a breeze, plus it gave me options to customize every aspect of it. This software also has many other great features like backup which I have not yet had the chance to experiment with but I am definitely looking forward to, so I highly recommend it.
After setting up the options for the cloning, I clicked on start and asked me to restart. After booting up, it booted to Acronis' cloning screen, since it obviously can't clone the drive while you're running the OS. The process took a little bit less than an hour. The computer booted again and was still booting to the old HDD but I noticed I could see the SSD clone of my C: drive and the recovery partition. Now I needed to figure out how to tell Windows 10 where to boot from, which isn't as easy as in previous versions. I have yet to see an option to boot up to the BIOS or other pre-OS settings. Windows 10 has a setting that lets you choose where to boot from, whether HDD/SSD, USB drive, or CD. When you ask it to let you pick it does a reboot, then a menu comes up with the mentioned options. I chose HDD/SSD but it didn't let me pick which one!! DOH! so it booted up again to my painfully slow HDD. I turned it off again, opened up the back of the laptop, disconnected the HDD and booted.....WOILA! it booted so fast to the SSD that I was a little dizzy haha. Seriously, it was incredibly fast. I signed in and that also was ridiculously fast. The OS was ready to go within a second of signing in, with everything loaded. I checked the drives and the new partitions were there, beautifully set up as C: and D: for OS/Programs and Recovery partitions. I turned it off, plugged back the HDD, and booted...incredibly fast again. I knew my SSD had stayed as the new permanent boot drive at that point. Signed in and I saw my old partitions there as F: and J: which were the names I had given to the SSD partitions originally. So the letter switching happened all on its own, which I was kind of stressing doing myself.
So that's it! I tested opening up things and man.....what a freaking difference. This is the best upgrade you can give your PC if you have a slow HDD, 5400 rpm in my case. But honestly, it'll be a 200x difference even with a 7200 or 10000 rpm HDD. Amazing. I currently have 8 GB of memory and plan to take it to the 16 GB max in the next couple of months, but I am good to go with this beauty for now.
Hope this was helpful.
I did hours of research online about SSD technology, manufacturers and the best rated drives. The Samsung 850 EVO is consistently rated at the top, with the premium price paid for the bleeding edge absolute best not worth the minor increase in performance that most users would not notice.
I am using this for the C drive of my computer with a one terabyte WD Blue HDD for storage as the D drive. The operating system and programs are on this drive and I moved the Libraries to the D drive so all documents, photos, etc. go to the storage drive by default. This is very simple to do in Windows 7 and appears seamless to the user. You still go to the same places to save and retrieve files; they appear to be stored exactly as if you had one drive with everything on it. In my case this leaves well over 120 GB free on the SSD after Windows and all programs are installed.
My motherboard is from 2011 and uses the H67 chipset. This drive was recognized the same as any HDD would be with no further steps required in the Bios or Windows. Depending on the age and brand of your particular hardware you may need to change certain Bios settings to get the drive to work at its best. Windows settings may also need changed if you are cloning a working operating system from a HDD.
The drive runs fairly cool and is silent. I did not have an adapter to secure it to the drive bay of my case, so I used two zip ties to fasten it to the chassis so it doesn't flop around, which could theoretically work loose the SATA and power connections.
My son got one of these drives for his new laptop. After initializing Windows 8.1 on the laptop, we cloned the HDD to this SSD drive using Macrium Reflect and a USB 3 drive enclosure. We then removed the HDD and installed this SSD, which took about five minutes. After installing this drive his laptop boots to a working desktop in about 7 seconds and shuts down in about 4 seconds. Programs open instantly. Loading all the updates and installing the rest of the programs went about twice as fast as the last time we did the same thing using a regular HDD on an almost identical laptop. There is a minor decrease in weight and apparent increase in battery life over the manufacturer spec. The result is a mid level laptop made as fast as a top end machine for about $400 less.
250 GB is enough storage for most laptops, but if more is needed you could use a flush fit USB 3 flash drive or an SDHC card in the internal card reader that is part of most laptops. SDHC cards are available up to 128 GB right now. Along those lines, my son is buying a $20 USB 3 drive enclosure and making a one terabyte external storage drive out of the perfectly serviceable (if relatively slow) HDD that had been installed in the laptop.

- Reliable!
- Fast!
- Very easy to install. Unplug a HDD, plug this bad boy in. It's that simple. No messing around with your Mobo like a m.2!
My laptop is = hp pavilion 15 au084tx with 12gb ram( installed another 8gb kit with 4gb previous)
Yes, there are may SSDs . All SSDs are soo fast that u can't find any speed difference between them. 500MBPS+ speed is more than enough for a PC. Even, yu don't need SSD's full speed.. coz, in laptop CPU is under powerd and can't utilize SSD's full potential. So, you can go for any SSD from any company. I choose Samsung, because of it's amazing data migration tools. It's the best cloning software. Yes, there are too many software available, bt they are not as accurate and as simple as Samsung's .
Now, laptop has 250gb+1tb stroage. And I'm now extremely happy. If you follow my installation process, yu don't need to buy USB to hdd cable. Follow my process and save some money. Thank yu. 😄

Mi computadora ya enciende de inmediato y sin esperas. Inclusive el disco duro evo incluye un programa que te ayuda a optimizar el sistema operativo para que el ssd trabaje a su maxima capacidad. Trae tambien el "rapid mode" que agiliza la lectura y escritura de informacion.
Algunas personas aquí en amazon se quejaban del empaque por que solo viene en un sobre y se maltrata la caja etc. En mi opinion esta muy bien por que pienso que es mas facil que lo pasen por aduana sin problemas, de hecho no es un sobre común ya que trae plástico de burbujas por dentro y en mi caso llegó muy bien. El tiempo de entrega me indicaron que eran hasta 10 días hábiles con el envío gratis pero me llegó en solo 4 días!!! De lujo!
No sé si fuera suerte pero este producto es de importación y no me lo retuvieron en aduana ni me hicieron algun otro cargo ni nada. Me daba miedo pedir de usa por esta razón pero afortunadamente todo bién.
