Product Description

Samsung 840 EVO SSD

Enjoy High Performance

The Samsung SSD 840 EVO is a high-performance SSD designed for power users. Capable of delivering up to 98,000 IOPS Random Read Speed and 540MB/s Sequential Read speed, it is an SSD of unrivaled high performance. Even better, the advanced MEX controller delivers these speeds regardless of data type, unlike some competing controllers that greatly favour compressible data.

TurboWrite
Boost your write speed with Samsung TurboWrite technology.
Switch to a higher gear
Magician software gives you the option of RAPID mode.
Always be in High Acceleration

Thanks to Samsung TurboWrite technology, Samsung SSD 840 EVO can deliver much faster sequential write speeds compared to the previous model -- up to tripling the speed from 130 to 410MB/s in 120 GB drives, and doubling it from 250 to 520MB/s in 250 GB drives.

Switch to a High Gear for Rapid Performance

Like changing gears in a car, with Magician software you have the option of RAPID mode, enhancing performance by processing data on a system level through the use of free PC memory (DRAM) as a cache. Depending on your PC memory, you can expect high performance and more efficient command processing, which improves with repeated tasking.

Keep your data safe
Self Encrypting Drive (SED) security technology helps keep your data safe.
Dynamic Thermal Guard protection
Dynamic Thermal Guard protection monitors the temperature of your SSD.
Consistent Reliability

Shocks, vibrations, high temperatures -- bring it on. Equipped with Advanced Signal Processing, Samsung SSD 840 EVO automatically corrects errors so you'll worry less about your data's stability. Plus, using Samsung Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART), you can track your SSD's health status. SMART warns you of any unforeseen errors before they occur, so you'll be prepared.

Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard protection monitors the temperature of the SSD, preventing it from overheating. When the SSD is exposed to extreme temperatures, the algorithm controls the SSD's power supply to keep it cool. Plus, with Samsung SSD 840 EVO your PC becomes lighter, meaning you can carry it around with you.

Samsung 840 EVO SSD
Add style to your PC.
Rock-solid Encryption to Secure Your Data

Samsung 840 EVO Self Encrypting Drive (SED) security technology will help keep your data safe at all times. The drive is included an AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that your personal files remain secure -- even if you lose your laptop.

Energy Efficient

Enjoy doing more of what you love on your computer for longer. Samsung 840 EVO SSD features low idle power consumption. This is important because PCs spend 80 to 90 per cent of their time sitting idle. The drive promotes energy savings and longer battery life.

Simple Tools for an Easy Upgrade

Using a SATA-to-USB 3.0 connector provided in the laptop upgrade package, for a data size of 100 GB, you can migrate all the data from your HDD to 840 EVO in just 24 minutes. The Auto Install guide included in the toolkit will guide you smoothly through the installation process.

Add Style to Your PC

Samsung 840 EVO SSD uses both structural engineering and C-cutting to diamond-cut the premium titan surface, for a sleek and stylish appearance. Watch your PC become reborn with a premium look that expresses its powerful performance.

Before tossing away your laptop you might want to consider upgrading the HDD to SSD. It could work out as a much cheaper option.

Pros:
- Lightning fast drive
- Super easy installation
- Light on batteries (laptop users)
- Much cheaper than buying a new computer!
- "Samsung Magician" software works great for firmware updates and SSD optimization.
- Macbook Pro compatible.

Prior to mentioning the cons, I would like to point out that these apply to most SSD and not just the Samsung

Cons:
- Samsung recommends turning off indexing for reliability. Doing so means that searching for files from the "Search programs or files" or messages in Outlook is considerably slower.

Considerations:
1. In order to use the drive to its full potential, AHCI Mode must be enabled in the bios, and motherboard should support SATA 3. Yet the speed increment is still very noticeable on SATA 2 motherboards.
2. I would recommend the largest SSD you can afford due to numerous reasons: one of these is a feature called "Over Provisioning": A part of the SSD itself is used for this option thus decreasing the physical size of the disk (Primary Partition)whilst increasing the speed even further. The software itself says Quote "Over Provisioning (OP) optimizes the performance and lifespan of your SSD" unquote. Another valid reason is that the larger the disk, there is less chance of read write on the same sector, thus increasing the lifespan of your drive.

Time will tell how reliable this very fast drive will last. I have selected not to turn off indexing as I need to search for files quite often.

SSD technology is the future, and these drives will improve and prices will continue to decrease in the future.

Bottom line: If you need a fastest SSD to date, than the Samsung Evo is the way to go.

Having purchased a SSD drive for the desktop I have puchased another one for the laptop.
Applications are running much faster and startup and shutdown is much quicker. Resuming from hibernation is very quick.
Data migration software cloned the drive without issue and the Magician software enabled me to tweak the SSD drive for optimum performance.

Great device, really speeded up booting and general operation on my laptop. I am a developer, and this speeded up my compiles. I actually replaced my 500GB disk with this 250GB one, I really wasn't using the extra space.

Check that you are going to be able to switch disks on your computer easily, because mine was a Dell Q15R laptop and I had to take the whole thing apart to replace the disk. Many computers are going to be much easier, with slide-in disk replacement.

That doesnt take anything away from this SSD, it was well worth it!

Plenty of room on this drive for the basic Windows 8 Pro or 8.1 Pro operating system files, and quite a few updates but then, I keep my user files on a separate drive. Windows starts nice and quickly. Installing the operating system was OK, and there was migration software available, but the cheaper SSD makes also have this, and I more than suspect I would not be able to tell the difference if I had chosen a cheaper one.
Whatever the choice, it wouldn't be unalloyed joy, because I actually do worry about the "eventually wearing out" aspect of SSD's, and the data-scribbling Windows can't really be stopped from doing on a drive like this. All the Windows 8.1 update files went unstoppably onto this disk in the course of the update process, for instance. So it's possible I might have got a system with greater longevity if I'd gone for a 1TB hybrid drive, that might have been able to deliver comparable start-up performance but accommodate all my user files as well on the one drive, greatly simplifying routine operations. But others do say, you really have to be going it some to wear out an SSD!
Top marks for delivery way ahead of schedule.
