"A new Macbook Pro for under $300"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

A while back, I doubled the RAM in my early 2011 13" Macbook Pro, and it made a big difference. Replacing the old spindle drive with this SSD is like a brand new machine. I had to jump through some hoops (like digging out the original Snow Leopard disc, because the machine is so old) but the speed is amazing. The Core i5 actually has to put down its beer and do some work to keep up. InDesign, Photos, Chrome – all open in a handful of seconds. I should have done this ages ago. The machine seems cooler and quieter, too. It's good to go for another five years.

"Like getting a new computer"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I transferred the OS (Windows 10) and apps in my desktop from a Seagate HDD to the Samsung SSD and it was like getting a brand new computer. Windows now starts in a few seconds, and the PC only slows if it's waiting on a slow Internet connection. Note that if you want to install this as a replacement in a laptop you'll need a USB to SATA cable; this Samsung SSD didn't include one. For a desktop machine you can just install it as an additional drive and proceed with the migration.

"Worth. Every. Penny."
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The 850 500gig model is I think has the fastest write (i don't care about reads) and reasonably priced at the same time. Other brands offer lower write speeds for low price and the pro editions are just.. For rich kids.

Power draw of this is so small as compared to other slower or more expensive ones.

About longevity of the drive- I have yet to find out.
