It's 500 GB but Samsung manufacture in 512 GB. Is it really genuine ??

It is genuine. All drives will show reduce size due to the method used when formatting. It has to do with the 1046k of unformated drive to make 1000k when formatted.

http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TD500BWI dont know where you got your info from...this is from the Samsung site for the same drive and it says 500...so yea, its 500

Yes, it realy is 500GB. It is this capacity because it uses that extra space for additional wear leveling. This is known as over provisioning. The extra space needed for over provisioning on this drive is necessary because it is triple level cell technology. Because of this, the flash actually has less endurance than the generation before it. With the proper wear leveling though, this is compensated for, and the drive is designed to last for quite some time. If you are a heavy user (meaning professional video editing, or any other use case where you are writing more than 10GB a day everyday), you should get the pro line anyway, as that is still multi level cell, and has greater endurance. But if you do that kind of heavy work, you should probably be getting an enterprise grade drive anyway with single level cell technology. So yes, this drive is genuine and it is fantastic. It is actually close to one of the fastest drives on the market, and the only that I know of that is optimized for larger capacities. Most other brands (particularly LSISandforce drives) are designed to be fastest at ~256GB, so if you want a large drive that doesn't suffer because of it's size, this is it. Edit: BTW, there are some non-insightful posts below claiming this is because it is what you get after formatting. Know that formatting will always use some of the storage and you will end up with slightly less. But in this case, it will be actually lower than the 500GB as 500GB is what it would be raw, not after formatting. My 250GB Sansung 840 came out to about 233GB. This is also partially because, for whatever reason, the solid state world measures in Gibibytes (GiB) or 1000MiB, while the rest of the storage/computer world (except for the silly apple world) measures in Gigabytes(GB) of 1024MB.

This particular model is 500GB. Samsung also has the "Pro" model of the same series that is well worth the extra investment if you are an enterprise or extremely heavy user. A heavy user is someone who writes and rewrites to their drive quite often. This is the real deal. I have the non-pro model and get great R/W speeds but on SATA II connection (310R/260W).This is a great buy. Don't hesitate. I got it for $280 which made it a no-brainer!

Not that i am aware of unless it is a knock off and not a legit samsung product.

There are different sellers for the same product, none of which are selling legit Samsung batteries. They're all either a different brand, or the Samsung-branded ones are counterfeit that aren't even the proper size.

about 6gb of the total capacity is used for the OS and other apps, the rest is free space. source: I own one.

Shelley M. Based on a previous response, 64GB MicroSDXC would be supported on this model. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

I googled around and found this on the Samsung site:MemoryExternal MediaMicro SD™ (2GB guaranteed), micro SDHC (up to 32GB guaranteed), micro SDXC (up to 64GB guaranteed) * Class 6 and above recommended * Internal memory capacity may not match these specifications.

The one I bought said 64GB and that's exactly what I've got. If you got one with a lesser capacity than advertised, you should send it back.

I tried a Samsung 64Gb microSD and it does not even recognize it. It can only take accept 32Gb.

I think it was 3320GB, didn't last long though. Powers on no boot after three months. It's also out of warranty. Get one with it!

it is a 256GB ... as stated in the description. the "newer model" that they say exists is in fact a 128GB, which is about the only main difference between the two. This S5-391-9880 is definitely the better deal. This 256GB drive should last me for a good while. Remember also, that as drives get more full, their efficiency (speed) decreases, so it's always good to have lots of headroom on your drive.I love my laptop!!! only wish it had back-lit keys, since I tend to use it a lot in the dark, while watching TV.

The specs just keep on changing, I checked the Samsung site and it seems like it got updated:http://www.samsung.com/hk_en/consumer/computer-peripherals/notebook/rf-series/NP-RF510-S01HK/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detailNow it claims to have 6GBs of RAM?

There seem to be several different configurations out there. Mine has 2 GB of data storage. Other respondents have other memory sizes. My guess is that the .5 GB is max data storage... but that is a guess. Mine also has an SD slot, but that's not mentioned in the specs here. Sorry not to be more precise.

I would like to know if it is user upgradeable. The Q&A; at the Samsung UK site seems to suggest that it is upgradeable to 8GB at a service location, so the possibility seems to exist.

When I ordered this, it was in an original Samsung package and sealed. So I have to assume it was new.

I bought the 64GB card which was the max capacity that Samsung recommended and it rubs like a champ!! 64gb! All the way!

I did a quick Google search. Most samsung galaxy devices should accept 64gig sd. Google around just make sure, but I think you should be ok.

From what I read from the Samsung site it max memory is 8gb. __ NP470R5E-K02UB System Memory 8GB Memory Configuration 4GB x 2 Memory Type DDR3 (1600MHz) Max. System Memory 8GB Number of Slots 2
