Samsung 850 EVO SSD Upgrade

I recently purchased a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD for my home computer. I was getting tired of waiting a few minutes after I turned on the computer before I could do anything. The standard hard drives in my computer were getting old, near 6 or 7 years. Immediate boost in performance even without being on a SATA3 port. After the BIOS loads the OS loads in less than 15 seconds, and that includes logging in. All apps perform much better now as well.

This SSD drive is actually really good for the price range. Great performance and reliability. The PRO series Samsung SSDs are a little better, but I really don’t use my home pc for much so I opted for the cost savings. I also needed to get a 2.5″ to 3.5″ internal hard drive mounting kit as all SSD drives are laptop hard drive sized. I opted for the SABRENT 2.5 to 3.5 Inches Internal Hard Disk Drive Mounting Kit because it is a sturdy design and made of metal rather than plastic. Also it has the capability of holding two 2.5″ drives in the same 3.5″ bay.
