Samsung Internal SSD 860 EVO 2.5" 250 GB

I just received the SSD today. I remembered someone had written a review about receiving an SSD which they believed to be not genuine since it was made in China and the pictures shown online say Made in Korea. Mine was made in China so I thought I would check with Samsung who confirmed its authenticity. It looks as if they moved production to China at some point.I made a mistake by not using the Samsung Data Migration program which makes things very easy for you. The program I used the first time left me with a 1tb SSD registering as if it was still the old 128gb SSD on my computer, which caused me timeconsuming problems. Use the Samsung program, as I did the second time round, and avoid my stupid mistake.As a comparative computing dimwit I found that the process was very straightforward especially replacing one SSD with another which fitted in the same place once I used the correct cloning software. All I needed was a good screwdriver and a USB to SATA connecting cable which cost a fiver.1. Attach the new blank SSD with the aforesaid cable to a USB slot on the computer.2. Clone i.e. copy the old SSD to the new SSD using Samsungs software.3. Switch off the computer, switch off the mains, open the cabinet in my case this involved removing one screw and sliding side panel off.4. Unscrew 4 screws holding old SSD in place.5. Tug out 2 cables leading to old SSD.6. Screw new SSD in place with same 4 screws.7. Push 2 cables into new SSD.8. Put cabinet together again.9. Switch the mains and the computer back on.10.
