    I installed the SSD in an Acer 5755g. The start-up time is only a fraction of the previous one. Highly recommended!

    I installed it in a Sony Vaio VPCCA laptop with intel i3. Super fast start-up (10 seconds) with LinuxMint 13 Cinnamon. Absolutely recommended.

    Super SSD and ultra fast. In use for about 1 month now and runs without any problems.

    This kit also includes a frame from 2.5 to 3.5" and the Norton Ghost software - unfortunately in English.

    I installed the SSD in my notebook with I7 (4-core). Here are my recorded data.
    I had previously installed the "Samsung Spinpoint MP4 320GB (HM320HJ)" and this serves as a comparison.

    Spinpoint / SSD 830 (in seconds):

    System
    start-up-Ubuntu: 38 / 26
    System start-up Win7: 75 / 33

    Whereby approx. 12 seconds are used for booting.


    Benchmark with Crystal Disk Mark:

    Sequential HD / SSD:
    Read 87 / 503 mb/s
    Write 75 / 323 mb/s

    Installed this SSD in my Acer Aspire 7750G (i5-2410 2x2.4GHz, 8GB RAM 1333mhz, ATI Radeon 6650 1GB) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit via USB stick within 20min.

    - Boot in 15-17 sec !
    - Shutdown approx. 5 sec !
    - Restart approx.
    22 sec !

    - Windows 7 performance index: 7.9 !

    Unbelievable speed, hardly started up, every application can be started immediately and almost without delay. I will never use an HDD as a system disk again.

    Will install the same SSD in my PC that I am putting together myself. I'll buy all the parts here at Digitec. I'm already really looking forward to it

    I resisted an SSD for a long time, but this thing is the absolute HAMMER. What used to start up sluggishly now really pops after cloning. Absolutely TOP.

    Problem-free cloning of the old hard drive. Runs brutally fast. I can only recommend the SSD

    I am very satisfied with the SSD. With AHCI, but without any other settings, I have Sequential Read: 484.182 MB/s and Sequential Write: 321.698 MB/s, which almost corresponds to the stated values.

    The only bad thing is
    the 3.5" mounting frame. The holes for the brackets are very imprecise, which is why I couldn't mount the bracket. Fortunately, some brackets were included with the case.

    I just installed it in an old office PC with an Athlon II x4.
    Although the board does not support AHCI and therefore TRIM, it runs very fast.
    The boot time was reduced from 01:40 to 35 seconds (including POST).

    Works very well.
    Attention! If the bios is set to RAID (e.g. for conventional data disks), the Win7 settings must be optimised with the Samsung software, otherwise the system can lock up!
    No problems after resets/hardpoweroff,
    also the firmware update runs smoothly.

    This SSD from Samsung is simply a great product. I've been using it for a while now and I have to say I'm impressed, no performance drops or anything else, always full performance and no noise, no comparison to a normal hard drive. The included software from Samsung is also great, very good for performance control, firmware update, cloning or resetting. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have an old PC, it's a real enrichment for any system! And the price... it's just an SSD and a real high-end product. 

    Pro

    • Boot time
    • Performance
    • good software (Samsung Magician)

    Contra

    • Possibly the price, but relativised by the performance

    Changed the BIOS to AHCI, installed Win7 and everything is running without problems so far (2 days). I also find the Samsung software very practical, in which you can make all the additional Win7 settings (SearchIndex, etc.) at the touch of a button.

    Hammer SSD - OK, admittedly not the cheapest SSD, but it's worth every franc. The installation of W7-64Bit went without a hitch. Booting and shutting down is now a breeze. AS SSD benchmark: Read 515 MB/s Write 309 MB/s!!!
    No
    bluescreens or other problems so far. The brushed aluminium surface also looks very classy. So I give it my full recommendation to buy.

    Horny piece!

    I installed it in a thinkpad x220. Only a few SSDs with Sata3 are 7mm thin and fit in there. Samsung also offers a few goodies that you won't find elsewhere:
    -cables, rack for 3.5''
    -norton ghost to clone
    the SSD
    -samsung magic thingy to optimise performance & lifetime! And it seems to be not only a marketing gag, in my opinion...

    All in all, the application range of this SSD goes from desktop to the smallest subnotebook.

    One of the best investments in a long time. The speed is exhilarating. Very fast booting, loading programmes uniquely fast. The only downer is the price (in relation to the storage capacity).
    Otherwise, highly recommended.

    • Small storage capacity (128GB)

    I have also been using this SSD for a week in a very powerful PC. Windows boots in a few seconds! (Without Bios) You don't even see the welcome screen for a moment. All games and programs are installed in a few minutes. (From SDD, not from DVD) And yes, finally I have in the Windows performance index everywhere 7.9 Best SDD I have ever used, 5 stars. Only the price bites.
