Highlights
Quality
They have a good tool set for installation and system transfer.
So far, no reliability and performance issues and they sped up a few of my old laptops and a desktop.
I had tried a lot of things to fix it but nothing worked, i even reset windows to a clean state with hardly anything installed ... Read More
Formatted and installed a backup image (win 7/10 pro) on it and i was up and running in less than an hour.
Price
Great value and cost efficient upgrade which dramatically improves overall performance in older computers.
Would be nice if ssd prices were cheaper.
It is very expensive but it is worth spending the money on the best product when storage quality and reliability is critical.
Shipping
From an order standpoint, the package was delivered on time and in good order as promised.
I did have a problem signing up for the warranty but with help from samsung service i managed to get it submitted.

In the meantime, my one other ssd of a different brand has failed already.

The mlc nand in this thing is becoming a thing of the past with the new 980 pro which is of course nvme and much faster than this sata drive but being tlc nand and at 2tb is only 1200 tbw which would translate to 2400 tbw if they had a 4tb version
