The Samsung 860 EVO range of SSDs is a great value range of SSDs offering high performance at an excellent price. On all models they offer sequential read/write speeds of 550/520MB/s, and their TurboWrite technology accelerates sequential write speeds by creating a write buffer inside the SSD. This was the right solution for me. Bought a Samsung 850 evo SSD to replace the HD on my mid 2012 MacBook pro. Was able to boot externally from the SSD without issues after cloning, but when attempting to boot the SSD internally I would have issues with kernel panics, hung/incomplete booting, etc. Check out our support resources for your 850 EVO Series SSD MZ-75E500 to find manuals, specs, features, and FAQs.

My hard drive failed on my 2009 MacBook Pro last week. I looked over reviews and decided on the Samsung 850 EVO SSD. I did have my drive backed up on Time Machine, but the new SSD had to be installed cold turkey. The install went fine and I had a Snow Leopard disk in the drawer to boot with. I was able to find the drive under disk utilities and partition with GUID no problems. However during Snow Leopard install I get an error message about 10 min into it saying Install Failed OS X could not be installed on your machine. I also tried a direct Restore from utilities drop down and received an error message a few minutes in.
