Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD Review

 

Very fast in all tests, semi-affordable

Not as fast SandForce drives in queued workload

Samsung brings considerable resources to bear as the world’s largest manufacturer of flash memory, and it has quite a stellar track record in this market, as well. The 470 Series in early 2011 earned a verdict of 8 from us, and the 830 Series, which...

Samsung 840 (500GB, SSD)

 

The Samsung 840 series, which is not to be confused with the recently reviewed Samsung 840 Pro , is not really an upgrade to the no product found for id 35020154 Samsung 830 series that was released more than a year ago. The new drive belongs to...

The Samsung 840 series solid-state drive (SSD) is affordable, good-looking, and offers very good performance.

The Samsung 840 comes with just three, not five years of warranty coverage and is likely to have shorter lifespan than others of the same capacity.

The Samsung 840 series is an excellent entry-level solid-state drive for budget and general users, but not really a good buy for advanced or professional users.

Samsung 840 Pro (256GB)

 

It's been exactly a year since Samsung released its no product found for id 35020154 830 series solid-state drive (SSD) and today, the company unveiled the upgraded version, the Samsung 840 Pro.

The Samsung 840 Pro offers fast performance and uses significantly less energy than other solid-state drives.

The Samsung 840 Pro is comparatively expensive.

The Samsung 840 Pro lives up to its name: it's a top-notch solid-state drive for professionals with a price to match.

Samsung 840 120GB SSD Review

 

The 120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD features the powerful 8-channel MDX controller and TLC NAND. While this value SSD comes at a very good price, it also features much lower speeds than its larger capacity brethren. We put this value SSD through our suite...

While we continue to recommend higher capacity Samsung TLC Model 840 SSDs, the TLC-equipped 120GB 840 Series SSD is simply not a good option for consumers. 3.5 to 4 years of projected light use is an endurance concern that users would be advised to...

Consumer review by:

"This is an awesome upgrade for any pc."

 

My boot times are very fast -- so fast that I don't mind shutting down instead of putting my pc to sleep. The Samsung 840 Pro just works. It's a solid upgrade (pun intended). I would buy one again without hesitating.

Super fast, excellent warranty, low power consumption, big enough

Still more expensive than traditional drive tech

Samsung 840 Pro 256GB review

 

The question Samsung's asking is just how much are you willing to pay for the ultimate in SSD oomph.

Good performance ; TLC flash memory ; New controller and firmware

Slight drop off in performance over time

Samsung 840 Pro 256GB review

 

The Samsung 840 Pro 256GB is the fastest consumer SSD around, and its 7mm thickness makes it compatible with thin-and-light laptops. It also comes with a five-year warranty. Buying advice: Samsung 840 Pro.

The Samsung 840 Pro is currently the fastest consumer SSD on the market. You'll pay a little more for it, but you always pay more for the best.

Samsung SSD 840 Pro (256GB) - Here Comes Big Daddy

 

The Samsung SSD 840 Pro arrives in our labs with big expectations. Widely acclaimed, we find out if it how it fares against some of the best SSDs we have tested.

Blistering performance on AS SSD, CrystalDiskMark and Iometer; Intuitive and useful Samsung Magician control panel; Completely in-house developed (memory, controller and firmware)

Inconsistent performance; No accessories such as installation bracket; Commands considerable premium over other high-end SSDs
