Hi

I am considering replacing the original 500GB HD with the Samsung 860 EVO MZ-76E500B

Any compatibility issues with that?

I could not find a list of compatible drives for my model.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    The Samsung 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" SATA-3 6Gb/sec drive as brummyfan2 has also suggested is perfect for your laptop, I've used it in an Aspire 5750-2414 and it works perfectly and speeds up the laptop considerably if not 100%, its also very advantageous in these older laptops that you upgrade them to their max RAM capacity and to their last BIOS which in your Aspire 4830TG-2436G50Mibb the max memory RAM is 8GB total into its 2x slots at 2x 4GB of either DDR3-1066MHz or DDR3-1333Mhz modules at 1.5V, SODIMM 204 Pins, as that will make this laptop perform much better with Win-10 and modern graphics.

    Also and if you want to go even further? Its even better to upgrade your OEM Socket G2 Sandy Bridge CPU (also known as the socket rPGA988B) to the Sandy Bridge i7-2720QM CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads 2.2GHz to 3.3GHz turbo, 1MB L2 and 6MB L3 cache at 45W TPD if you have either an i3-2310M or the i5-2410M or the i5-2540M. Btw, I've done this to a lower spec Aspire of the same socket G2 Gen 2 Intel CPU the Aspire 5750-2414 that I mentioned above and I upgraded it to the i7-2720QM CPU and it worked perfectly and increased its performance considerably. Also and remember that your Aspire 4830TG has a dedicated GPU of the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M GPU with NVIDIA Optimus technology, up to 40953 MB of TurboCache (2048 MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM, up to 20473 MB of shared system memory that is not exceptional but can handle some mid range graphics also and is a tool to run some of the current Win-10 graphics quite efficiently. Good luck and hope this helps you.
