Excellent
By Joel
I bought this to add to my Alienware 14 laptop. It was so easy to install, and nothing outside of securing it to the motherboard was required. The Samsung Magician software is the best all in one software out there. They are the number one name is SSD's, and for good reason.

Amazingly fast.
By Adam C.
This drive is amazingly fast, I almost wish I got the 500GB version.

I upgraded my Yoga 2 Pro which came with a Toshiba THNSNH256GMCT. It wasn't exactly slow, but I wanted a bit more performance and I was having an issue with the system randomly freezing for 5 - 10 seconds. Below is the CrystalDiskMark Scores for both the old and new SSD. I should note I have Samsung Magician installed, 10% over provision and RAPID Mode enabled, so this may be inflating the benchmarks. I would say the drive feels significantly faster.

I would recommend this drive (the 250GB version) to any Yoga 2 Pro user, and be sure to install the Samsung Magician software. Note, after it's all setup you can disable Magician from running at startup without hurting performance or disabling any features of the drive. This gets rid of the annoying UAC prompt on login. Disable it via the task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del) and then the Startup tab.

Very easy, very fast, VERY cool!
By Gadget Guy
I ordered this along with the ZTC Skyboard USB 3 enclosure. Downloaded Samsung's Data Migration tool and off it went. Screaming fast transfer with the Skyboard; the whole thing (128Gb original SSD in Samsung Np9003xb) took less than 30 minutes... could be way less but I was doing other things while it copied.

When it was done, swapped out the drives and my Windows 7 x64 system booted right up! A few things to note:

1. When complete, there is a System partition (100Gb, 93% used -- this is the Windows boot partition), the main C: drive partition (about 447GB) and an 18+GB OEM recovery partition. No hibernation partition.

2. Windows update thinks it has never run; run that if you like.

3. Went into Samsung's Easy Settings tool and turned off Intel Rapid Start (under General); this is needed to recreate the hibernation partition. Reboot needed. Then go back to Easy Settings and turn IRS on; another reboot needed. You will then have a 4.8GB hibernation partition (space taken from C: drive).

4. Also under Easy Settings: adjusted the Speed Boot settings (included MS Security Essentials tool).

That's it. Wow, it is so cool to have 373GB of free space on my C: drive instead of 24GB or so... with VERY little effort. This was the simplest "drive upgrade" I've ever performed; the fastest too!

Well done Samsung!!
