    Very satisfactory

    The product is as ordered and was delivered very well packaged.
    I have never had a problem with this brand, although it is more expensive, but it is reliable.

    Compliant

    A new lease of life for my desktop PC.
    Just make sure you buy the screws as they are not included and are not the standard ones for SSDs (they are thinner than for the motherboard).

    A safe bet

    Samsung is a safe bet when it comes to computer components, including SSDs.
    The choice of the M.2 format instead of M.2 NVMe is simply due to the use of an "ICY BOX IB-1818-U31" case which allows it to be transformed into a high performance USB flash drive with a much larger storage space than with a classic USB flash drive.
    Ideal to install Windows on it and get very good performances.

    Successful installation

    On my laptop running Windows 10 up to date, to go from 128GB to 500GB, staying on Samsung SSD, installation without any error message via the Samsung application provided for cloning. 500 GB disk put in an external case to perform this operation. Once the cloning finished, switch off the PC..., change the disk..., switch on... and it's fine again. Just Microsoft who asked me again for confirmation of the Microsoft mdp

    Simple, fast, efficient

    an SSD at an affordable price for the memory it has and for the speed that the M2s offer. And it's easier to get an SSD as a strip directly on the motherboard than externally.

    Can we live in a world without screws?

    I ordered both strips and a 512GB M.2 SSD.
    I've been using it a lot for virtualization which is very resource intensive. I use it a lot for virtualisation, which requires a lot of resources, and I get a fluidity that I have never experienced before.
    The only small drawback is the absence of the little screw that should fix the SSD to the motherboard. And as it was not present in the laptop either ... I had to find it in another computer.
    Nevertheless, I don't regret my purchase.

    Top quality-price

    Very fast and high quality SSD. The EVO series from Samsung is a reference in gaming. Be sure to use a heatsink because it tends to get a little hot
