It was some time I had a Samsung 860 pro on my PC and it was time to upgrade it. The Seagate software is a no brainer, I cloned my old 512GB SSD on the new 1T Firecuda and that was it. The boot time from 15/20 seconds went down to 3/5 seconds. It is two months I am using it for gaming, streaming, working, etc., and every document or software just runs instantly. The 5 years guarantee is also a big deal.
