This review is from: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM
Pros: Windows 10 used to take 10 minutes to boot up on my 500GB 7200 RPM HDD and had some issues with bad sectors even. Now with this drive, Windows 10 boots up in less than 15 seconds. Thats going from the time I click "reboot" and waiting for the full shutdown sequence.
Cons: None that I have found, other than the normal SSD thing of limited number of read/writes, of which I have not encountered yet.
Other Thoughts: So far, it works amazingly. I installed Ark Survival to the SSD and the game loads up faster than ever. Instead of waiting 10-15 minutes to load up a modded server, it takes 5 or so. Which isn't the fault of the SSD, its just the game devs don't know how to optimize it any. Otherwise Ark would load a LOT faster on the SSD. It did improve my loading speed by 3 times however, when switching from my HDD to this SSD.
Prefer Samsung or Intel memory for reliability. Usually buy the pro grade for the great reliability and warranty. Since it is not used as c drive, i decided to save a few dollars by purchasing EVO rather than PRO.
