The Samsung 840 Pro solid-state drive is a speedy energy sipper

Samsung's 840 Pro SSD uses less power than comparable drives but doesn't skimp on performance.

The ; 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 Pro 512GB

This new drive is actually the professional version of the 840 series, so in a way it's a double upgrade since the 830 series didn't have a Pro version. The new drive differentiates itself from the rest of its SSD siblings by using Samsung's...

Samsung SSD 840 Pro (256GB) Review

If we had an award for most improved in the SSD space, it would have to go to Samsung. When we first encountered Samsung MLC drives a few years ago they were pretty bad. Prices were high and performance was low. Samsung offered no end-user upgradable...

The vanilla 840 is super interesting. We've never tested a 3bpc MLC drive in house, and although Samsung isn't promising huge cost savings initially - over time the move to 3bpc MLC will aggressively drive mainstream SSD prices down.

Review Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series: 256 GB

Fast and conservative? Samsung presents the successor to the popular 830 series: the new SSD 840 Pro series. Samsung promises to set new records in performance and power consumption. Ideal for notebooks? We will find out in the following review. ...

While we are talking about the SSD 830: it is available for extremely low prices (Oct. 2012) and will certainly be one of the biggest competitors of the 840 series, especially as the performance difference is barely noticeable in everyday use

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 Pro and Samsung 840 Solid State Drives Review

Samsung currently offers very interesting solid state drives. Some boast outstanding performance, others – are built with inexpensive TLC NAND and come with a very appealing price tag. And our tests prove all of this: we are ready to discuss what we...

With the introduction of new SSDs Samsung puts forth a strong claim to the leading position on the consumer-class SSD market. Besides manufacturing all of SSD components and thus having more elbowroom for price maneuvering, the company has got a very...

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

To sum up, the Samsung SSD 840 Pro is a promising drive that has the potential to offer loads of performance. On benchmarks that it did manage to run properly, it was marginally quicker than even the Corsair Neutron GTX, and its results on Iometer were...
