  • Easy to clone and install
Capacity: 500GB
I have an older ASUS laptop that was given to me by someone who purchased a new HP. This unit had only 4GB RAM and a 500GB spinning-hard-drive. So I upgraded RAM to 8GB and bought this Samsung 860 EVO 500GB SSD to replace the old spinning-drive. This SSD arrived and I needed to buy a $7 USB-to-SATA III cable here on Amazon so I could clone the old hard drive to it. There is a lot of chatter on here about people wondering about the best ways to clone existing drives onto these SSD devices. In my case, I decided the simplest thing to do was to use something I could boot from a USB, so it wouldn't matter what operating system was on the old drive I could clone anything. So I downloaded Tuxboot and Clonezilla and ran it to install onto a USB. Super-simple process and I was ready to roll. I then hooked up the SATA end of the cable to the SSD and the other to an open USB port on the laptop, stuck the bootable USB I had just made into another and turned on power. Booted right up to Clonezilla, hit enter through every default, ensured it was using the 500GB spinning-drive for its source and the new 500GB SSD for the target, and within about a minute it was off and running. You are presented with a lot of options. I chose the simplest, device-to-device rather than doing the source-to-image, then image-to-target. Process took around 2.5 hours and then I shut down, removed the old drive from its caddy and replaced it with the SSD, hit the power switch and the system immediately booted right up to where I had left off before I cloned it! There are a lot of ways you can clone existing drives to these SSD's. You might even want to just fresh-install your system onto one of these SSD's and that's fine. I didn't want to take the time to do that. But for me, using that $7 cable I bought here on Amazon, with the Samsung EVO 860 SSD I bought here on Amazon, and free Clonezilla install-to-USB I was able to effortlessly clone the old drive to the SSD and boot right up with it without any issues whatsoever. I had zero issues. A few benefits from having gone through this: 1. I now know how to clone a laptop drive to an external drive 2. No more motor to spin a drive, so no more extra draw on the laptop's battery to keep one running 3. No more heat from a drive motor that's constantly running 4. Excellent performance and speed with this Samsung To benchmark it for you, the laptop originally took just over two minutes to boot up. After upgrading its memory from 4GB to 8GB boot time dropped a bit, to 1.5 minutes. But after replacing the hard-drive with this SSD boot time is now 30-32 seconds, from hitting the power-switch to login. And everything else on the system is much, much faster without the extra seek times and slowness of that old spinning drive. Time will tell but so far this Samsung is functioning great, was easy to clone to, Clonezilla recognized it right away (as did Tuxboot), and it booted in my system the first time after the cloning was done. And this thing is just super-fast. Plus it's a Samsung EVO. From all I've heard and read, these are pretty reliable devices with a reliability of something like 1.5 MILLION hours. That's 62,500 days or about 171 years! Try getting that kind of reliability from a spinning hard-drive! Bottom line is these are known to be great devices. There are duds out there but by-and-large it's hard to beat a Samsung EVO device for its price-point, reliability, and performance. That's why I spent the extra $$ rather than going to a cheaper, edge-brand type SSD. I have both old and new equipment and my older stuff recognized and worked with it just fine and so far it's a screamer. I highly recommend. ... show more

  • Good Capacity, Good Performance
Capacity: 500GB
Used as a drive in a silent Mini-ITX build. Neatly fits inside a small low profile Mini-ITX chassis, makes no noise and adds very little heat. Slim so it minimally impacts airflow in the chassis. Loved it so much I bought another one for a second machine when the SMART monitoring started indicating imminent failure. Both have been operating for over a year 24/7 with no issues. Would definitely buy again for legacy machines that don't support m.2 ... show more

  • My Third Samsung SSD
Capacity: 1TB
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Over the past few years I've purchased three Samsung SSDs, and have been totally satisfied; I don't game or do other uber-heavy disk I/O. My first Samsung 256GB SSD came with a USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III cable and a CD for Samsung Magician, the last two SSDs (500GB and 1TB) have not provided a cable or Samsung Magician & Migration software CD; no CD is not a big deal, these can be downloaded from Samsung and you always get the latest version. The SATA-USB cable is VERY handy when doing a clean installation. See below... MY THOUGHTS: The "Frequently Bought Together" suggestion by Amazon shows an 18" SATA to SATA & Mounting Bracket for internal installation in a PC case, NOT for a laptop. I strongly suggest you get a SATA III-USB 3.0 cable just in case you don't have one. Very handy and inexpensive. Also, in a laptop you can reuse the existing mounting bracket. I save my old disks in cases like: KSB 2.5 Inches SSD Hard Disk Drive Protection Storage Box Case For Solid State Disk, Pack of 6 Assorted Colors (Plastic), you can also find 3.5" cases if you are storing larger drives. These cases are cheap and very handy. Don't just throw disks away, they contain personal data and should be destroyed using disk cleaning software like BleachBit - a software Hillary Clinton used - or with hammer, ditto Hillary again, that are no longer needed. If you shred paper with personal info, this is shredding for digital data; just "deleting" isn't good enough as data remains on the disk until the computer needs the space. When upgrading a Windows operating system, or "restoring", I prefer a clean installation on a new disk for several reasons: 1) SATA III to USB 3.0 Cable: I like the ability to externally attach the 500GB drive if I want to copy something I may have missed during the backup. Many people may not be aware about the cable if they do a clean install on a new disk and want to be able to easily pull files off the old disk. If you are doing a migration on a laptop from your existing disk to the new disk, the SATA III to USB 3.0 cable will be needed. Also, Samsung has migration software you'll need to download that use to come on the CD w/Magician. 2) New, fresh disk! 3) I can preserve my original disk to easily transfer my "stuff" at any time. 4) Disks are really inexpensive and performance keeps getting better with each new model. I started in computing after college with Digital Equipment Corp that had 67MB [yeah, MBs] disks the size of a Maytag washing machine external to the computer that had 4MB of RAM on a VAX/VMS 11/780 back in 1983, learned Assembly language on a PDP-8 that had paper tape memory and you toggled the code in with switches - Wiki it - and used punch cards in college on an IBM mainframe. 5) Rather than upgrade from Windows 7 to 10, I did a "special" backup (I like GoodSync) of my Windows 7 disk to my WDC SAN I use for backups, removed the 500GB SSD and popped in the new 1TB SSD and built Windows 10. Then I customize and move my stuff on and install needed software. Well, this is what I do. Hope this helps others who may not be tech-savvy. ... show more
