This time I opted for this Samsung SSD 860 Evo 1 TB SATA3 to replace a standard HDD as a secondary drive in my laptop – there was already a Nvme SSD as a primary drive for system, etc, but I was fed up with speeds of traditional HDDs. Installation was super easy – I simply replaced a HDD with SSD. Nothing complicated at all – just swap and connect. After powering on, my computer detected SSD without any issues and the only thing required was to format it to to desired format. All done within 30 minutes. Did the swap change anything? Abuslutely yes. My games load several times faster, searching my photo collection is superfast as well as access to my music library. Video editing, encoding and audio editing are absolutely hassle-free. SSD does not also generate any noise and generates less heat, especially with normal usage. I tested my Samsung 860 Evo with AS SSD and CrystalDiskMark – results are great, as expected (disk is half full/half empty) - please see the photos attached. A few details about Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SATA3 (different models may have different specs): - NAND: Samsung V-NAND TLC (aka. 3Bit MLC) - Controller: Samsung MJX Controller - Cache: 1GB LPDDR4 - 5 years warranty or 600TBW - SATA3 Would I buy it again? Absolutely yes. I cannot imagine going back to HDDs, especially not for tasks I use it for. I used Samsung SSD 840 Pro previously, so I knew what to expect from Samsung SSDs (although I could not justify spending extra for Pro series this time). I understand that the price of this disk has not changed for years nearly at all, but the reason for is that it is probably the best SATA3 SSD, which can be purchased. It is also a great disk for PS4/PS4 Pro, although neither Xbox One nor Playstation 4 make a full use of SSD technology. Loading times are still better though, sometimes cut by half. Tested with PS4 Pro out of curiosity. 10/10 score and full recommendation. Warning: Please do not make a mistake and do not buy Samsung QVO SSDs unless you are absolutely sure you want QVO series for some, unknown to me reason. They can be slightly cheaper (but sometimes can even be slightly more expensive), but their performance and reliability due to use of QLC NAND in comparison to Evo and Evo Plus (TLC NAND) is a lot worse. They are still good SSDs in comparison to other brands QLC SSDs but in my opinion there is no reason to buy them as Evo SSDs are a lot better and for similar price. Review: Much easier to install than I thought - I have a 7 year old Dell XPS 8300 Desktop PC with a 1TB HDD which I wanted to breath new life into by installing an SSD to improve boot, file and program load times. I wanted to make the SSD the system/boot disk and relegate the old HDD to secondary large volume storage. I needed a 2.5" to 3.5" mounting frame to allow me to install the new 2.5" SSD in a 3.5" bay inside the PC. There are so many choices of adapter available on Amamzon and I eventually chose this one https://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B075FH3KTT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You will make your own choice but even though I was only installing a single SSD, this adapter allowed me to add a second in the future if I wanted. I have done a separate review for the adapter, it was a very good choice for me. I was initially a little hesitant beforehand about attempting the install, but it turned out to be much more straightforward than expected. After disconnecting the power from the PC, I screwed the SSD to the base of the adapter then the adapter into the drive bay beneath the existing HDD (all screw holes lined up), then connected the SATA cable (provided with the adapter) to the SSD and motherboard SATA port and then the power cable (there was a spare connected power cable already inside the PC which I used, but there are also two supplied with the adapter) to the SSD. That was it in terms of physical installation. I powered up the PC and then used Samsung's Data Migration software downloaded from their support website (details come with the SSD). Samsung will recommend you clone the SSD by first connecting it externally using a SATA to USB adapter, but although this would be necessary with a Laptop, as long as you have space in the 3.5" bay to install the SSD and the original HDD (true for most desktops) my method will be faster and less fiddly. I made sure that I either deleted or moved to external backup all data (non system) that wouldn't need to be on the new SSD so that my 1TB HDD had a lot less than 500GB (in fact It was less than 100GB as I archived most of my non system data offline). I then ran the Samsung Data Migration tool to clone my HDD to the SSD. The time it takes depends o how much data to clone, but for me it was fast. When the clone finished successfully, I restarted the PC and using F2 key (different for various PC's) immediately at start up let me into the system BIOS. Here you need to reset the boot sequence so that the new SSD is number one for boot. After saving this in the BIOS and exiting, the PC booted up from the new SSD in about 1/10th of the previous time. Once happy everything was stable, I reformatted the old 1TB HDD which is now holding any large volume data that I don't need the high performace of the SSD for. As I said, boot time has reduced significantly and program/file load times are rapid. I'm very happy with my 'new' PC, and hopefully won't need to hit my bank balance for a replacement PC any time soon. Highly recommended upgrade for your PC, and it's also worth checking that you have sufficient RAM as that is just a 10 minute plug and play exercise. ## Features - Sequential Read/Write speeds up to 550/520 MB/s respectively; performance varies based on system hardware configuration - Compatible with any version of Windows and all PCs with Sata 2.5 "interface - Form Factor: 2.5 Inch.

First some background. I had a 13-year-old VAIO laptop that was running Windows 7 (from a clean install). The laptop gradually got slower and slower (you know the 3-5 mins to boot up, 2-3 mins to shut down kind of thing) so I decided to go the SSD route. Initially upgraded the laptop with a 500Gb Crucial MX500 SSD but then saw a good offer for the 860 EVO. The Crucial SSD had Windows 10 on (clean install using the Windows 7 key) and all of my usual programs (M$ Office, Gadwin Print Screen, VLC Media Player) and my WiFi printers configured so all I needed to do was clone this drive to the new Samsung Drive. Plugging the 860 EVO into an external USB interface allowed me to clone the MX500 to the 860 EVO. I have used Acronis True Image for years but encountered a problem last year where it wouldn't detect a second internal m.2 SSD in another laptop and I was directed to use Macrium Reflect 7 (which is free). No problem sorting out the m.2 cloning. Anyway, back to the 860 EVO. Macrium Refelect allows you to easily (using drag and drop) to move the partitions from one drive to another. This is important if upgrading from a smaller to larger hard drive - and this is why. If you make sure that the C: drive (or whatever drive/partition is to be used for data) is the LAST partition (i.e. the right-most one) with empty unallocated space to the right, you can extend the partition (either during the cloning procedure or later on in Disk Management) which enables you to use the whole of the new drive (i.e. you are able to use the extra space that you've paid for). IMPORTANT: Before undertaking the cloning procedure, use Macrium Reflect to make a Rescue Disk *FIRST* This will enable you to sort out a boot problem if after cloning you find that your new SSD won't boot. (go to Backup Tab. Click on the 'Other Tasks' tab, click Create Rescue media --> select your device (CD/DVD or USB) --> 'Advanced' --> Click on 'Choose Base WIM' tab, click on 'Windows 10 PE (WADK)', click 'OK' click 'Build'. This puts a 'lite' version of Windows on the rescue media (Windows PE for those interested) and the various drivers for your pc. One final note, it takes quite a while to make the Rescue Media so be patient! Cloning: To clone the MX500 to the 860 EVO took around 45 mins in total. Swap the drives over (the internal MX500 --> external USB and the 860 EVO --> internal) and re-boot. It *should* boot into Windows fine. If not, shut down the pc, insert your rescue media (see above) and boot from the rescue media into Macrium Reflect (note this may take several minutes of looking at a black screen!) Once booted, select the 'Restore' tab then 'Fix Windows Boot Problems'. I bought two of these 1Tb 860 EVO SSDs - one cloned without a problem and happily booted into Windows at the first attempt whilst the second (in a different machine) needed the 'Fix Windows Boot Problems' noted above. Now to the drives themselves. They are fast(*) and have a large capacity. You can download (from Samsung) the SSD Magician software which allows you to monitor the state of the SSD and optimise it for your use. *DON'T use this software to clone your existing drive* Make sure that you click on 'Over Provisioning' in the Magician software and set the OP to 10% (this will increase the life of the SSD dramatically). *Benchmarking this drive (using Crystal Disk Mark) showed that the main 'bottleneck' was the interface in these older laptops - so you won't get the advertised 550/520 MB/s speeds - except in recent pcs that use the SATA III interface. Both the Crucial MX500 and 860 EVO topped out at 284/266 MB/s which is about right for SATA II. Whilst this is a review of the 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO, I have given detailed instructions as to how to clone your existing installation to help others. There's not much to say about the drive itself other than it is large and fast and I can thoroughly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - SAMSUNG 500GB 860 EVO Series Solid State Drive - StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (USB3S2SAT3CB) - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/55715419-samsung-860-evo-500-gb-sata-2-5-inch-internal](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/55715419-samsung-860-evo-500-gb-sata-2-5-inch-internal) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
