5 Stars
So far, i love it lol.
Very small form factor 22x80 SATA3 SSD drive (mainly for laptops), but 500gb a bargain at 19X.xx dollars. Gives me plenty of room to put windows and many games on the SSD that requires speed. I will give a more thorough review after i finish installing it on my Acer V Nitro black laptop.Update: it's installed, i rebooted the acer, and it shows 850 evo ssd as a disk drive device, and it's in the bios. So far good news. I downloaded samsungs latest cloning sw, and it detected my 1gb hard drive and listed it as an evo 850 ssd, then it showed my target as the 500gb evo 850 ssd lol, so it was confusing at first, but i knew it was doing the right thing because the hard disk was 1tb, and my ssd was 500gb. So it's cloning now. Acer laptops aren't the easiest to upgrade, takes some courage, but not that bad. I also upgraded my network card to intel's 7260 AC ngw card. It works great in my Acer VN7-791G. Now if i get the ssd up, my system will be pretty hot.Update2:since my acer laptop had a wd 1tb hard drive, i was able to download the acronis tools, from WD website. It allowed me to clone my hard disk to the ssd perfectly. The samsung sw was faulty. Wouldn't work right, i tried twice. The acronis sw clone tool, worked the first time. The scary part is going to regedit and changing the D: ssd drive to C: and vice-versa. Not really scary, but if your clone sw didn't work, you end up with a dead laptop. I was able to get my drive back to C: and reclone with the acronis and now my SSD is drive C: and boots as fast as i press the on button. Pretty cool, my laptop is running perfect now. I added a crystal mark jpg to see what speed i'm getting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funktioniert ohne Probleme
Reviewed in Germany on September 8, 2016
Ein Review eines Datenspeichers ist immer ein wenig schwer da sich die tatsächliche Qualität (die Haltbarkeit) erst nach einigen Jahren äußert. Daher kann meine Beschreibung nur den derzeitigen Stand widerspiegeln.

Verpackung war leicht zu öffnen, sodass man nicht Gefahr läuft das Teil zu beschädigen durchs auspacken.
Einbau auf einem Z170N-Wifi von Gigabyte in einem Zalman M1 Gehäuse auf der Unterseite des Mainboards verlief ohne Probleme. Die SSD wurde auf Anhieb erkannt und es funktioniert alles wie es soll - Als Bootplatte für meinen Homeserver reicht es locker und selbst VM's starten zügig (deren virtuelle Festplatten liegen ebenfalls auf der SSD) und lassen sich halbwegs flott bedienen. Geschwindigkeitsmessung habe ich keine gemacht - aber Ubuntu 16.04 mit 2 selbststartenden VM's braucht ca, 25 Sekunden bis zum Login ab Power ON (das BIOS schluckt aber sicher 10 Sekunden davon). Unter Windows hab ich sie nicht getestet - aber einen ESXi habe ich kurz installiert gehabt - auch dieses Betriebssystem akzeptierte die SSD ohne Murren.

Fazit: tut was sie soll, braucht wenig Platz.

Hinweis: auf meinem Mainboard ist die M.2 Slot auf der Unterseite und daher muss es ausgebaut werden um an die SSD heran zu kommen - aber das ist wahrlich kein Fehler der SSD sondern ein Konstruktionsmerkmal des Mainboard welches ich akzeptieren kann.
