Though it is not very inexpensive, this is a quality solid state drive. I believe I got my money&#8217;s worth. I have yet to have any problems though I have only been using this specific SSD\u00a0for a few months.<br \/>\nWhen buying SSDs, I always go to Samsung. I have been buying from them for years and have yet to be disappointed. Here is a little info on the company: Samsung was founded by Lee Byung-Chul in 1938. Their current headquarters is in Samsung Town, Seoul,\u00a0South Korean. As of 2017, Samsung has the 6th highest global brand value.

I was correct in my expectations as this SSD blew me out of the water. The installation\u00a0was easy I did not even need to use the installation\u00a0disk. It made my\u00a0computer 2-3 times faster and I would highly recommend. The only item that could be considered a problem is the price. I feel as though this is a fair price for the speed that was acquired\u00a0but with some research, one might be able to find an SSD just as reliable for a more affordable price. Again I used my ASUS business motherboard for this test. Different problems could occur using a home or gaming motherboard. I would <em>highly<\/em>\u00a0recommend\u00a0this SSD for its speed alone and lack of problems. I was expecting greatness from Samsung, but they have outdone themselves this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Samsung-860-EVO-4TB-680x526.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1899\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.nationaltrail.k12.oh.us\/ittech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/03\/Samsung-860-EVO-4TB-680x526-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<b id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1512569243558_64\">Note:\u00a0 This review is part of a classroom project.<\/b><br \/>\n<strong id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1517324252943_448\">References:\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nMotherboard: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132966&amp;cm_re=ASUS_Prime_B350M-A%2fCSM-_-13-132-966-_-Product\">https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?<\/a><br \/>\nSSD: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147674&amp;cm_re=SSD_860_EVO_2.5%22_SATA_III_500GB-_-20-147-674-_-Product\">https:\/\/www.newegg.com\/Product\/Product.aspx?<\/a><br \/>\nSamsung:<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samsung\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Samsung<\/a>]]&gt;\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;![CDATA[This is my review if the Samsung 860 EVO.
