Title: SSD drive
Post by: Hammock on October 01, 2020, 03:49:01 PM

I am looking to replace the drive in my laptop with an SSD drive and would like to hear some recommendations if you wouldn't mind.

SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 1TB SATA III V-NAND 3-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-76E1T0B/AM (https://www.newegg.com/samsung-860-evo-series-1tb/p/N82E16820147673?item=N82E16820147673&source=region&nm_mc=knc-googleadwords-pc&cm_mmc=knc-googleadwords-pc-_-pla-_-solid+state+disk-_-N82E16820147673)

What I use.  No complaints so far.

I would second the Samsung 860 Evo.

If you are doing a lot of reading/writing or want to throw some money around, you could also look at the 970 EVO NVMe M.2 SSD 1TB or 2TB. I would imagine your laptop has a spot for that.
