Excellent sequential read and write performance*, Excellent random read IOPS / NCQ scaling performance*, Attractive and light weight brushed aluminum housing, 1.8" form factor internals open up some more possibilities for those willing to get their hands
Very poor performance in mixed read+write scenarios
Samsung's new 470 Series is absolutely a step above the previous generation. Sequential write speeds are among the fastest we've tested. The new controller enables a significant random read IOPS boost at higher queue depths. While our tests showed great i...
In the realm of solid-state drives, Samsung's 470 Series is unique. It's the only one we've seen with Toggle DDR NAND, and the first SSD to hit our labs with dual cache chips. Throw in a fresh controller with potential ARM cores under the hood, and we'...
The Samsung impressed us start to finish with the new 256GB SSD 470 Series retail kit. For their first introduction into the retail market they did an amazing job with the design of the SSD, down to the packaging that the drive is sold in. In a market...
Expensive, Not the fastest rated/performing drive available but not too shabby either
Samsung offers its 470 series in 256GB, 128GB, and 64GB capacities. At present, high-end SSDs still rough up your wallet, and that's also the case here. The Samsung 470 in 256GB form, as we reviewed today, sells for $550, or about $2.14 per gigabyte. Back...

Abstract: Solid state drives are getting faster, more capacious, and falling in price with each passing week. Within the next 1-3 years, SSD's will be big enough and cheap enough to finally move over to the masses instead of being an enthusiast-only product. WIth t...
With an RRP of around $550, the 256GB 470 Series SSG certainly isn’t cheap. However, what you do get is a solid, well-balanced shot of performance in not only read-rates, as most SSDs (and indeed faster HDDs) manage, but in write-rates, which is a rar...
The Samsung 470 Series 256GB has certainly surprised us. This quiet achiever came from nowhere to dominate our performance charts with stellar performance. In terms of raw performance the Samsung 470 Series is right up there with the popular Crucial R...
Abstract: It only takes one or two modern SSDs to outperform business-class RAID arrays with four or eight hard drives. We're running a full comparison and ......
Samsung's 470 solid-state drive (SSD) is light and good-looking, and offers great performance. The drive supports the traditional 2.5-inch design and works in any application where other SATA hard drives with the same design are used
The Samsung 470 SSD is significantly more expensive than traditional hard drives, and its storage capacity caps at only 256GB. The drive doesn't support the new SATA 6Gbps data transfer rate
If you want something that's fast, energy-efficient, lightweight, and durable, and don't mind the hefty prices, the Samsung 470's outstanding performance will make it worth the investment.
Abstract: The SSD market continues evolving. We got our hands on six drives we hadn't yet tested, including Samsung’s 470-series, and ran them through our ......
