Review on 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SATA III Internal SSD - 2.5 Inch (MZ-76E1T0B/AM) by Dezz Watson

Get it first! I was about to have a funeral for my aging tower system. It has a decent quad-core processor, I packed all the memory it has, got a GPU, bought new and faster drives, and put the OS and applications on a separate drive. Load times and constant lag were killing me. Then I saw it. My only problem was that the user manual and several help pages told me to run Magician, which didn't do anything for me. I ended up calling Samsung support (very good support). Here's what he told me: - install the drive - I have a Corsair mount. Then simply connect the power and SATA cables. -- Start your computer -- google samsung.com data transfer -- download and run the data transfer file. The data migration program runs until it is complete. Power off and unmount/eject the old C: drive. I connected the C SATA cable from my old drive to the SSD (I had to put the one used for the install back into my CD. - Boot your system. It will boot to a MUCH faster SSD. - Go back go to page You downloaded Data Migration from and downloaded Magician - Run benchmark and performance tuning then RAPID.music etc on the spinning disk they were originally on Voila! Your system is alive again Mine is loading now in less than 1 minute then it runs all my programs much faster the better.
