High-grade components - Samsung born and bred, Brilliant sequential read/write results, Consistently strong performance, RAPID Mode boosts performance, Found method to overcome limitation of SATA 3 interface, Magician software is very useful, Great value
There are none, Tip = Install Magician 4.2+ and use RAPID mode for better transfer performance
Samsung remain a formidable force in many sectors but even more so for storage and SSDs. The 830 and 840 product lines have persistently taken the limelight due to excellent performance to price ratio. Part of Samsung’s recipe for success has been the...
Abstract: Torture test! The Samsung SSD 840 is the first widely available SSD series that uses TLC memory chips, where each memory cell can store three bits. TCL flash memory doesn't last as long as the traditionally-used MLC flash memory, but it's cheaper which t...

Excellent value for money, Solid performance for the outlay, New TLC NAND is reliable enough
But TLC NAND isn't the fastest

We have misgivings about the complete dearth of support outside Microsoft Windows, particularly now that Samsung's SSDs are proving popular upgrades for Apple Mac computers where they're known to work so well. We cannot comment on longevity of the new tec...
We find the different drives at the following prices: Samsung 840 250GB goes for €160.-, the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB drive for €220.-, and the OCZ Agility 3 240GB is priced at €170.-. The 840 Pro is the clear winner of the performed tests, but also cost...
Fast and quiet with no moving parts, Bundle includes SSD Magician software, Competitive price
TLC NAND has performance and endurance drawbacks, Not really any better than 830 Series
Jumping on the back of the altogether impressive Samsung 840 Pro Series and offering mainstream performance at a competitive price point, the 840 Series drives adopt the same three-core MDX controller but reduce cost by implementing triple-level cell (TL...
