Does it work well with a Samsung ssd 840 evo?

Yes! I just finished changing from HDD to SSD using this stuff. Please remember to deactivate your Microsoft Word and reactivate in your SSD because Microsoft is locked with hard drive.

My experience was with the 840 pro which is a sata 6, I don't ese why it wouldn't work with the 840 Evo sata 3 with the same connectors.

I have no idea. It probably is since it's the same brand. I tried it on a SSD but it didn't work...

Yes this drive will work with this computer model and it's a fast drive. If you want something fast which also comes with cloning software. Take a look at samsung 850 EVO ssd drive 250G.

I've cloned ssd's with it. Can't remember if used for 7.2k or 10k drives sorry.

For budget best value builds I recommend the use of Samsung Evo SSD ( read=520mb/s write=520mb/s ) If you want faster speed use a Samsung SM951 SSD with PCIe adapter ( read=1700mb/s write=1700mb/s ).Or you can spend more money and put an Intel 750 PCIe SSD in it.

it will fit. However if your drive is one of the new thin drives, then you might have a problem. This enclosure is using a sling/eject mechanism. That said, I put my brand new EVO 840 (256G - not that it matters) disk into it. When tried to eject, the drive didn't come out. Instead, the eject mechanism scratched my drive really nice and deep. There my drive went straight out of this case and I might use this as a backup attached to a mac over usb3 and a normal HDD. If your drive is the new 7mm thin one, look somewhere else.... Quality-wise this doesn't compare to my other external cases. I use Macally (2.5) and Lacie d2 Quadra's and this product is just not there in quality. it will fit.

It should work and so should that 840evo.. is it just not detecting? check your bios setting as you might need to change the SATA type.. Check and change the drive mode from IDE to ACHI..

This actually works with any sata drive. The SSD will get hot during the clone operation. That's normal. Takes more power to write flash based memory so more heat is produced. SSD runs cooler during normal boot. Apple cables do not get very hot but all the other cables do. This adapter runs hot all the time reading or writing. With a regular drive add a couple rubber feet to the end to support the drive correctly. This makes a air gap that helps with cooling.

I'm afraid I can not help, other than to say according to Samsung, the 840 Pro is the same size as the 840 EVO (which I installed in my Lenovo SL510 with ease). Note though - the Samsung software will not move/migrate a drive that is the Operating System drive - you will have to use a pub domain app (there are several).

I put a Samsung 840evo 500GB SSD in this enclosure. Large files (>500mb) transferred at an average of 166MB/s on a USB3.0 port with ONE leg of the Y connector connected.

The Samsung 840 EVO SSD comes in different packages (basic, desktop, laptop). I think you'll need the plastic spacer that you find only in the "laptop kit" package, because the disk is 7mm thick and your laptop hd compartment is probably 9.5mm, which was the standard size a few years back.

I think that intel 730 is better than samsung 840 evo. Because samsung 840 evo has a problem with old files. If you want samsung 840 evo. You should install patched firmware of it.

I'm sorry. I'm not all that up to date with SSD's. I'm not sure if it will work.

Yes. It does work with a solid state hybrid drive. It even works with a SSD.

Yes it works with Samsung migration software and it works smoothley Remember to plug the power supply that comes with it.I transfered about 340 g of data from my old drive to a new Samsung 840 evo 1 TB and I had no problems. It took about 5 hours. Cheers.

Hello Dinesh the Samsung 840 series SSD is compatible in any computer or laptop and connects to the same type of sata cable that your 1 TB sata HD does.
