850 EVO 1TB in a ASUS G751JL
1 of 1 found this helpful I bought this for my ASUS ROG G751JL Notebook to replace the stock HGST 1TB HDD it came with new. I tried to use Acronis 2016 to clone my original drive to the 850 EVO installed in the second bay of the notebook. The cloning reported success. And the system would boot to the 850 EVO, but it would then not respond past the login screen. I feared it may be incompatible. But then I installed the accompanying One Stop Install Navigator software and, after updating it to the latest version, which it wanted to do itself anyway, used it to clone from my stock HGST drive, to the 850 EVO via a connection using a Vantek NexStar dual USB 3.0 dock. With the HGST in it's original position in the G7510JL, and the 850 EVO in the dock, and connected via USB 3.0 to the Notebook, the Navigator software recognized both drives and the cloning process completed successfully. I then removed the original HGST drive, and replaced it with the 850 EVO, and it booted up like a champ. I've used SSD drives before. If you haven't used one for your C drive, you are in for a shock. It is blazingly fast. My boot up time went from minutes to a few seconds. I'm a software developer and use Visual Studio a lot. It took minutes to load one instance of Visual Studio with the HDD (I use a ton of addins). And that is with 32 GB of RAM. Purely a hard drive bottleneck issue. It now takes 13 seconds for one instance to load. And as you can imagine from that, everything else is now uber fast. The drive itself is a bit pricey. But hey. It's 1TB. I've had several SSD drives in the past. All but one eventually failed fairly quickly. My recommendation is, if you rely on you machine as much as I do, like, for a living, and you want crazy fast speed, then go for the 850 EVO or some equivalent. But, back up your drive. Your system is only as good as your last backup.
