Samsung SSD 840 EVO – Upgrade of the Substance for PC and Laptop

There are new discs Samsung SSD 840 Evo also in a cut to 1 Terabyte. The easiest and fastest way to speed up boot and application launch with the PC. We have already had to occasion to speak of solid state drives Samsung, about a year ago on the occasion of the announcement of the new SSD 840 series and 840 Pro and the first months of this year with the test Samsung SSD 840 Pro Series.

The opportunity to return to the subject with the new Samsung SSD 840 EVO is ahead in this period from multiple points of view. First of all, because they start to drop the prices of flash memories, because the SSD storage solutions are increasingly popular, with ever increasing volumes of sales, and are the only type of disc can offer the highest speed of application loading and the operating system.

On this occasion, we have been available in the cutting test Samsung SSD 840 Evo with a capacity of 1 TB, not available a year ago. It is also appropriate for a disc desktops and consumer laptop, easily usable both for an immediate update of its own computer, both as external solution adequately bodywork or even naked with a simple adapter Sata / USB. There are many available on the cheap.

Samsung is planning to upgrade in a few months also its Pro series 840. At the moment the Samsung SSD 840 Evo (now also available with a capacity of 750 GB. in addition to those already mentioned 1 TB, and with minor cuts down to 512 GB.) is representing the most-recent proposition in the mid-market, with technology at 19nm TLC NAND Flash and SATA III interfaces, so without the typical drawbacks of the cheaper MLC.

From the technological point of view, the new disks have an updated firmware compared to the simple series Samsung SSD 840 doubles the cache Dram (in our model is equal to 1 GB LPDDR2) and the Evo series debuts also TurboWrite buffer, a proprietary technology Samsung that actually offers the best in cutting their product with lower write performance lower. In practice with technology TurboWrite buffer, part of NAND flash memory is used to simulate the operation from the SLC memory that manages the data in cache. Our disc from 1 TB can exploit up to 12 GB of memory with TurboWrite.

The proposal Samsung SSD is well thought out. Samsung sells discs with the complete software and instructions for installation. They are accompanied Samsung Data Migration Software and Samsung Magician. The amount of the disk that was sent to us did not foresee another but, in full retail version, the kit may also contain as we illustrate in the following photo, in this case the proposal is being sold with the additional statement Desktop Kit and then including cables and the adapter we mentioned above, in addition to the frame.

Samsung guide the user step by step in all operations, and is illustrated with full documentation in PDF, either through the software, both with two video tutorials on the site, really-proof beginner, at least as regards the replacement of the disc with laptops. With the Data Migration application is really easy to clone the old drive to the new and reboot the PC boot times and benefiting from access even remotely comparable to those possible with your old mechanical disk. Instead Magician helps in maintenance operations, as well as in the monitoring of their performance.

And the pluses of the proposal that Samsung has decided to offer with these discs in truth not a simple component, but a real process of renewal of your computer, substantial, and at a cost more than justified in relation to the benefits that get and especially with a stop time equal to zero, because for the complete, process takes less than an hour without the need for assistance.

We wanted to include just as a reference, the performance comparison between our solution to traditional plates and Samsung SSD 840 EVO.
