Read full review They are well suited in any area of computing storage needs that require speed, reliability, ease of management (with their Magician software), and good pricing is desired (i.e. day-to-day end-user desktop computer usage to HA, always-on SAN storage). Your end-users particularly will thank you for a Samsung SSD upgrade, especially if their machine is running off a hard drive, currently.

Accessing files and opening large programs like Photoshop have never been faster. Samsung Magician software can be combined with your computers available RAM to increase the SSD performance. It's reliable. Most standard hard drives are prone to failure, partitioning problems, and increased lag times. Samsung SSD is not. Read full review Cons Just the IBM SSD advanced tools learning. Handling big data when not familiar with the tool. Creating reliable reports across large project data. Read full review The QVO models of their drives suffer performance loss. Now, that is just inherent to the use of QLC NAND, but they could offset this by adding more fast cache to those drives. I would love to see Samsung bring enterprise-style hot-swappable 2.5" PCIe drives to a more mainstream market. One of my biggest reasons for not going with NVMe drives in my latest production storage server was the cost-prohibitive nature of enterprise-grade hot-swappable NVMe drives. I have been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to think of a 3rd improvement I'd like to see Samsung make to their SSDs. I cannot think of anything realistic to add. It was hard enough to come up with the first two. They are just really good all-around. Read full review Support Rating Contacting support was not necessary so far.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The tools on IBM SSD are very flexible with excellent archiving capability and the notification tools with IBM SSD are very reliable. The IBM SSD interface is clean and all the features are very accessible and even the data threats management using IBM SSD is effective. Through the solution all the project data quality are easily managed.
Read full review WIth a one vendor solution you are most likely getting Samsung SSD's (unless its intel or Kioxia or Micron), but from a performance and reliability standpoint we have seen very good results with Samsung ssd's.
Read full review Return on Investment Good Return on Investment as none have been replaced so far High response time from online portal for web users Read full review As developers, we improve our productivity with less wasting time booting our notebooks, and also when we finish the compilation of our projects in less time. Overall Samsung's SSD disks offer a better user experience. Read full review ScreenShots
