    The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

    In my case, the gaming laptop had a regular (mechanical) screw and a slot for SATA M.2. After installing the system on the SSD, I did not recognize my computer. Loading 10 seconds from power on to the desktop (earlier 5 minutes waited). Programs install and run instantly. The speed according to my measurements in hdparm coincides with the passport one (about 500 MB / s). In general, absolutely satisfied. The best investment!

    Pros
    • Speed, easy installation, low power consumption

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

    In this case, you pay for reliability and not for speed. I took this particular ssd because on my motherboard the M2 connector is located on the back side, so installing a high-speed ssd with a massive heatsink will not work

    Pros
    • Samsung has the most reliable and durable ssds. M.2 is much more convenient than conventional ssds, they do not take up extra space in the case, they are mounted on the motherboard and, most importantly, they do not need a bunch of wires. This ssd has moderate speeds so it doesn't overheat and doesn't need a heatsink
    Cons
    • For this price, you can choose for yourself a high-speed ssd that works on PCIe, and not on SATA, but there will be questions about the durability of such an ssd, especially without proper cooling Of the declared 500Gb, only 465Gb will be available for recording

    Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

    A knowledgeable retail consultant gave me a call and went over all of the requirements for purchasing a disc. He did not demand any additional services from me and instead merely offered them, which I am grateful for. The call came from the courier thirty minutes before the arrival. All liked it! Thank you very much!

    Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

    I purchased an SSD 860 EVO M.2 500GB to replace an SSD 850 EVO M.2 250GB in an older laptop (the 850 EVO is still in fantastic shape after 5 years, but I need more storage space). There was no room for debate over which manufacturer to go with. I thought it would be best to test it out on a desktop machine first before putting it in a laptop. CONFIGURATION: Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 500GB, Firmware RVT24B6Q, Windows 10 Professional (version 19041), NTFS (4 KB), and a win driver. Intel i5-10400F…

    Pros
    • SSD freezing. Reliable manufacturer. Price reduction (offered in conjunction with a sale).
    Cons
    • It was not found.

    Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

    1. it's a cool disk, and this is the first time I've ever owned a solid-state drive. 2. When compared to the 960 evo, this model offers twice the volume at the same price. Various disadvantages: 1. this is still unusual, but out of 500 GB, there are free 100 GB, and Riley's pace has decreased.

    The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

    It was necessary to find a suitable SSD to use as a flash drive / portable drive when connected to a smartphone. At first glance, an external SSD has been made for a long time for connection, including with an eye for connection to wearable devices. And you might think that you can take any disc, any case, collect everything and enjoy life. But, as usual, it's so simple. SSDs differ in power consumption and not every combination of SDD + case will work without additional. power when connected…

    Pros
    • Speed, compactness, current consumption, allowing you to use it in an external box without additional power when connected to a smartphone.
    Cons
    • Not for my purposes

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

    I don’t agree with the previous review that it won’t start everywhere. It will start everywhere if it’s M2 sata with m + v keys, and even in the pci-e connector if the motherboard supports it. As for pci-e, there’s no point in taking it now, t . to. firstly, such speeds are not needed for your laptop or PC, and secondly, this is not supported everywhere, and you will not notice the difference during operation. And Windows 10 on M2 ssd loads in 20-25 seconds.

    Pros
    • Working
    Cons
    • They are not here

    It was a reasonable purchase, I will order more.

    It turned out to be incompatible with my motherboard GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.0). When I began to understand the reasons, it turned out that each motherboard on the manufacturer's website has a document "List of compatible SSD devices", and as expected, this SSD was not found there. On a foreign forum, too, someone encountered a similar problem. Before buying, I didn’t even imagine that there were such lists, by the way, there is a similar list nearby for RAM, mine wasn’t there…

    Pros
    • I chose this SSD based on reviews, many write that it works great
    Cons
    • For a price 30% more, you can find options that are SIX times faster for the same volume.

    The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

    I bought a laptop to replace the 960 model, as it overheated too much (which, as it turned out, is the norm for it, since the transfer speed is more than 2 Gb / s). Despite the fact that this ssd has much more modest speeds, they are more than enough for most tasks. No failures or overheating were noticed, the temperature is stable no more than 55 even under load (35-40 in idle). The best option in its price segment

    Pros
    • High transmission speed and reliability, low temperature
    Cons
    • Didn't find

    I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

    Generally. What I wrote above refers to 970 evo plus 500gb, but for some reason aliexpress decided that 860 evo 500gb was bought and asked to leave a review endlessly, so I left a short review))) Pros below: Fast, I would say reactive and this speed is honest. A beautiful box and a long warranty and a stylish appearance of the ssd itself Different cons: For such a price, it would be possible to put a radiator, because like any pcie nvme drive, especially if it works at maximum speeds for pcie…

    Perfect product for any user!

    Got pros: irrigating SSD, taking into account the discount, I got for 4700. It works fine. Cons: The first bar turned out to be a marriage but was quickly changed to a new one.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

    Got pros: Snatched on skidos; The speed is enough for the average user; Its cons: As they wrote that there is no mounting bolt in the kit, keep this in mind if you don’t have something similar to the size in your motherboard lying around

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

    For this money, the speed should be higher. Well, here is a stone in the garden of the seller. From the factory, most likely 860 and 970 models are obviously at different prices. And to buy 860 for the price of 970 is blasphemy. But unfortunately there was no choice. It was necessary urgently ssd "here and now." In general, this is a classic Samsung product, time-tested. Not yet spoiled by the latest company decisions and still up-to-date

    Pros
    • The most reliable of the line
    Cons
    • Price.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    Excellent product, the best quality.

    Some pros: SSD excellent works just space. I really liked the Samsung disk utility. Some cons: Delivery almost a month. But these are rather questions not to the quality of the goods.

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

    The SSD was installed in a laptop under the system, it has worked since October with almost no load (working with documents a couple of times a week). On January 29, when I turned it on, I saw a kind offer to restore windows - I can't boot normally. Next, I found out that the SSD is not recognized. I had to install the OS again on the HDD. I will give the disk to the service center for examination, but at the right time it has already let me down - unpleasantly. I had to waste time, which also…

    Pros
    • Pleased the first time. 12/29/2022 I am supplementing the review - I threw on the stars, the service center replaced the disk with a new one and for almost a year there were no complaints.
    Cons
    • Failed after 4 months of light use

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

    sata interface for this money in 2022 is somehow not serious anymore. Bought for stability and durability. I will take the second ssd already on pci-express

    Pros
    • - work speed - 5 years warranty from the manufacturer (I'm sure enough for all 10) - temperature (does not exceed 65 degrees)
    Cons
    • - price

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

    The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

    Reading speed is normal, for the money it's worth it. I bought it as a second ssd in a Xiaomi mi notebook 13.3 laptop, it fit perfectly. I have OS on the main disk, it has a read speed of 3200MB, a write speed of 1500MB. I have been using this disc for a couple of weeks, it copes with its tasks, I am satisfied with the purchase.

    Pros
    • Works well, cheap
    Cons
    • There is no bolt to attach to the motherboard. After formatting, 465GB remained.
