Samsung 870 EVO Drive in a Netbook--YES!!!
I have a Toshiba netbook with a slow Intel Atom CPU that is limited to 2GB RAM. It is maddeningly slow. I even tried a 4GB RAM upgrade, but it won't boot. I had the thought of swapping in a solid state drive to replace the slow 5400 rpm hard drive, assuming it would speed up memory swapping and file processing. I read the reviews and decided the Samsung 870 EVO 250GB drive was the way to go. I purchased a USB-to-SATA cable ($8 on eBay) and downloaded the Samsung migration and disk management software. It took me two attempts to shut off all processes such as anti-virus programs, etc. to ensure that all files were copied over, but on the second attempt, that worked (I tried running the migration program in Safe Mode as an alternative, but it wouldn't move any data). Second system transfer operation was successful--took just over 30 minutes. I then swapped in the SSD to replace the HD. Complete success!!! Process times running the SSD are halved, the netbook now runs much faster, like a real laptop. Boot time is 18 seconds vs. 38 seconds before, etc. I'm going to replace all of our laptop drives (and probably my desktops as well with 870 EVO drives. To me, it seems like a bargain to gain all of the performance for such a reasonable price.
