An integrated all-Samsung platform, Competitive performance in many read-heavy tasks, Consistent latencies across a variety of workloads, Robust Magician 4.0 drive management utility
Lower enterprise performance in mixed workload scenarios

Fast reading and writing speeds, Very light, Can be found at a good price, 5-year warranty
Power consumption reduction not significant against other recent SSDs we've seen
Samsung's SSD 840 Pro is one of the best options on the market if you're looking for a solid state drive with excellent writing, as well as reading performance. It's also one of the lightest units we've seen...
