The way I see it, Samsung's introduction of the 840 now puts them in a couple of “special spots” in the SSD market. First and foremost, Samsung manufactures the 840 completely in house. Controller, NAND, DRAM cache, everything. This means cherry-picking o...
Abstract: Page 1 of 2 Samsung has done it again, doubling the throughput performance of its solid-state drives while keeping prices steady. The company today unveiled the 840 Series, a new line of SSDs for professionals and consumers starting at $99 that offer r...
I love Samsung's marketing image of the Cadillac turned into a Porsche GT when viewed through the 840 SSD. I love it so much I had to use it again in the 250GB review. What the advertisement is staying is true. My Lenovo T61p that I've had for at lea...

Starting as we often do with build quality and design there is little, if anything, to fault with the new 840 Evo drives. They arrive in a durable metal casing, rather than plastic which means we are off to a good start and the use of proven Samsung parts...
High-grade components - Samsung born and bred, Brilliant sequential read/write results, Consistently strong performance, RAPID Mode boosts performance, Found method to overcome limitation of SATA 3 interface, Magician software is very useful, Great value
There are none, Tip = Install Magician 4.2+ and use RAPID mode for better transfer performance
Samsung remain a formidable force in many sectors but even more so for storage and SSDs. The 830 and 840 product lines have persistently taken the limelight due to excellent performance to price ratio. Part of Samsung’s recipe for success has been the...
Abstract: Torture test! The Samsung SSD 840 is the first widely available SSD series that uses TLC memory chips, where each memory cell can store three bits. TCL flash memory doesn't last as long as the traditionally-used MLC flash memory, but it's cheaper which t...
