Those expecting the Samsung 840 Series to be a true successor to the 830 Series will no doubt be disappointed. The new drive is slower than its predecessor overall and quite sluggish with both sequential and random writes. Samsung's use of TLC memory is ...
As is often the case with SSD reviews, what we have here is a mixed bag of results, so now it’s time to sift through them to try and better understand where each SSD stands in terms of performance. Breaking down the file copy tests, if we combine the ...
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.
I have to say I was very skeptical when I first heard that the 840 will use TLC NAND. Samsung kept the TLC/MLC divide between the 840 and 840 Pro quiet until it took the stage at the SSD Summit for good reason. Prior to the 840's launch TLC NAND was mostl...
Superb (read) IOPS performance, Reduced cost/GB (as compared to 840 Pro), Low power consumption,
Relatively poor mixed readwrite performance, 3year warranty might be a negative for some.
The biggest consideration you have to make when judging the 840 is that it's a budget version of a Pro-level SSD. Triple Level Cell flash is slower to write and provides less endurance as compared to MLC units, and while the 840 does perform quite wel...

I remember speaking to a manufacturer of TLC SSD potential not so long ago and being told that there needed to be an appreciable difference between the pricing of TLC NAND and MLC NAND for this to have any chance of success. In that conversation, we also...
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...
SSD-asemat ovat kiistatta tulleet jäädäkseen ja hintojen laskiessa sekä tallennuskapasiteettien noustessa myös peruskuluttajien on mahdollista hankkia SSD-asema ainakin käyttöjärjestelmää ja tärkeimpiä ohjelmia varten. Kiintolevyissä ei ole tapahtunut suo...
Høy belastning vil kunne gi kortere levetid enn en del andre SSD-er.
Så lenge man ikke har et helt spesielt bruksmønster på pc-en SSD-en skal installeres i, ser vi ikke noe problem med å benytte SSD-er basert på TLC-flashminne. Samsung, og andre produsenter som nå kommer med denne typen SSD-er, har nok gjort grundige u...
