Runs well with some hurdles and LOUSY Support

I have gained this SSD because I was simply tired of long boot-ups and access times, and since, this model of Samsung generally herrvorragende reviews. (Which I indeed can not share fully but more because I wanted the existing system partition migrating to the SSD)

Scope of supply:
The packaging is a little bigger than a CD case, many freebies are not so there. Include the SSD, warranty terms represent a CD with support programs (Data Migration, Samsung Magician) and a quick guide (consisting of simple illustrations) for installation

-Spärlich But according to purposes, who want to upgrade their desktop PCs a complete upgrade kit should buy or order a mounting frame to do so. I think at that price would be a penny-item a la Eibau frame as offering him eg Hama have been possible.

Installation
Unfortunately ran not at all smoothly. How to read in other reviews, the SSD can usually just play and install an operating system. However, many problems have an existing Windows to be transferred to the SSD. This happened to me also:
SSD unpacked, installed, install "Samsung Data Migration" and ... nothing went: "Error Defragmenting the disk". Since I was first there like an ox 'Vormberg (Yet have my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate slimmed previously and the old system disk defragmented)
Nevertheless, ... there are still other ways. So, Acronis True Image backup loaded and taken to it then "save" again on the SSD. Unfortunately, that did not work well because the then required Windows Startup Repair repair went into the void. Usually you have to be run through 3 times to MBR, boot loader and restore BCD, what with me unfortunately but to no success led since my Windows on the SSD could not be "automatically repair 'this by such an action. The input console did not help.
Ultimately remained me only the software "Drive Copy 12" Paragon for an additional 30 euros, but completed the job well without hesitation and without any problems.

!!! Here is a very clear Sap also to the support of Samsung ---> here is absolutely not made provisions for the event of a fault !!!!!!

Not only that there are no solutions to problems in written form but on the website is on its limitations and Tell No One mentioned.
In addition, the telephone support was not available ... please when are you working for ???
(I have tried it several times at different times during the week)
"All Lines are closed. Call again between 8am and 5pm," for example, when I call to 13h ... and before that the statement "is your avg. 30 seconds waiting time"

Ongoing operations
Here I am absolutely satisfied again, my PC runs Windows in a hurry ... (Wortspiel..ha.ha) high and all requests Ruck Zuck. In AS SSD benchmark the plate reaches 951 points.
To this end, it should be noted that prior to and after migration some system adjustments espacially because Windows still assumed it would run on a traditional hard drive.
Since HDD and SSD work completely different, it may come here to not small performance hit shorten the life of the SSD. Keyword Alignment etc., some technology-publishers offer here detailed instructions on their websites. Easy "Windows migrate to SSD" into the search engine.

Even after reinstalling Windows, there is still a lot to improve, although Windows then meets broadly the right attitude but a few subtleties remain

The Samsung Magician should be mentioned also. Externally, probably inspired by an Intel program it is a simple tool that helps to make the most important settings and generally provides information on the state of SSD.

CONCLUSION
I think certainly that this is to be a high-quality product and I am absolutely satisfied with this SSD in terms of operation.
Two stars deduction not because there were problems with the installation, but because Samsung has made here obviously no effort to provide its customers with installation support and support and I was forced to draw on additional expensive software

For me, customer support is an important component of the product
