Remember to enable it in your BIOS AHCI driver to optimize the performance of your SSD. Remember also to extend its life:
* Turn off automatic defragmentation (This generates a large number of read / write could damage your drive quickly);
* Disable Indexing files to limit unnecessary paperwork;
* Disable the page file if you have> = 8 GB of RAM (when Windows will fail to RAM it will use your SSD to store temporary information there), OR move your secondary hard drive (storage);
* If you have a secondary hard drive, change the destination of temporary files (you can change in the environment variables);
* Disable System Restore will write important data and use a lot of space on your SSD;
Compared to the Samsung competitor, you will not see much difference, instead, the Crucial SSD competes very well. You will not be disappointed!
