Are Samsung 850 EVO ok to install as main drive

Hello

I can’t find a list of suitable or recommended drives to replace my failing fusion drive with an SSD. I have a Samsung 850 EVO that I’d like to use but don’t know if I can. Any help would be appreciated

YES! your Samsung 2.5” 850 EVO SSD will work just fine! While not the fastest SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) it is not a slouch either! The performance difference against the newer versions Samsung 860 or Samsung 870 QVO SSD is very little on the smaller sized drives and a bit more with the lager models.
