Mr Feedback

Great value for money. I have several different models of Samsung SSDs that I purchased over the years and use them in multiple Windows 7 computers, I find them all to be extremely reliable and of good quality. Never had a problem with any of them, so usually recommend them even though there are cheaper alternatives on the market. So, no reason to doubt that the 860 Pro is more of the same quality.

The casing is made from *really* thin steel that feels and sounds tinny (minus 1 star). Initially it made me question the quality of the device compared to say Anglebird drives and even previous Samsung drives (should have stayed with the more robust casing). However, as it is the next generation drive with all the latest tech from Samsung, I'm willing to over look this minor draw-back and if in the position to buy another drive will probably buy Samsung again, because it's Samsung.
