Don't buy this, go with a competitor SSD
I ordered one of these in January to use in my computer classes. The drive stopped working in March. I contacted Samsung and went through the process to have it sent in for inspection. The process was slow because my maintenance request was not initially approved. Once it was approved I had to package and send it with a prepaid UPS label that was sent to me.
The device was defective and I was sent a replacement SSD. The replacement came as a refurbished SSD. I called Samsung and was told there was an error on my paperwork that put the date of manufacture versus date of purchase. Samsung warranty is a refurbished product 90 days after purchase. I was told to send back the refurbished one so they could send a new SSD. The process took a couple of weeks.
I received my new SSD and in May it too failed. I again called Samsung and went through the process. The drive was defective and I was sent a refurbished SSD again. I called Samasung, again. I was told this time it was over 90 days since purchase and a refurbished exchange is their warranty. So I basically only had each new SSD for less than 2 months before they failed.
I would not recommend this product to anyone.
