Installation Precautions

1Please ensure that the PC power is turned OFF and the power cable is unplugged before removing the PC cover to install the SSD. Serious damage may occur

if an HDD is removed or an SSD is installed while the PC power is turned on. Even though many PCs and storage devices support SATA’s Hot Plugging (Hot Swapping) feature, Samsung strongly recommends that you turn the PC power OFF before starting the installation process.

NOTE: Hot Plugging (Hot Swapping) allows changing storage devices while the PC power is turned on.

2If an existing SATA HDD is being replaced with an SSD, you can use the existing SATA interface cable and SATA power cable. If the SSD is being newly installed to your desktop PC, then you should prepare some necessary items, such as a SATA interface cable, SATA power cable, 3.5 inch adapter bracket, screws, etc. If the SSD is being installed in your laptop PC and you would like to perform a Data Migration, please prepare a USB to SATA adapter cable. If you purchased an 830 series with an installation kit appropriate to your system type (desktop/laptop), the necessary items will be included in the box.

3A SATA interface cable that is longer than 1 meter may result in hardware detection failures or operational failures.

NOTE: SATA cables are compatible with all SATA interface types (SATA 1.5 Gb/s, 3Gb/s, and 6Gb/s).

4Please check the terms and conditions of your PC manufacturer’s warranty since it may prohibit the user from disassembling the PC and self-installing the SSD.

5This SSD 830 Series is designed, manufactured, and certified for general desktop PC and laptop PC environments for use as a primary or secondary storage drive. It is not intended or allowed to be used in enterprise server systems, workstations, storage systems, PC cache memory or in any other manner. If you need SSDs for such applications or environments (or for another scenario other than general PC use), please purchase a different product made specifically for such a purpose.

*Data Backup

Samsung Electronics does not warrant the data stored in the SSD and will not be held liable for tangible/intangible damages associated with data restoration. Therefore, please be prepared for the unexpected by backing up any important data to another storage medium. If you purchased an SSD Installation Kit, you may use the full version of Norton Ghost included with your SSD to accomplish this. Please refer to the quick manual on the CD that came in your box and available online at www.samsung.com/SSD for more information on this process.

*SSD Capacity

The actual capacity may differ from that indicated on the product label depending on the drive formatting method, partitioning, and computer OS. (1MB=1,000,000 bytes/1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes).

Samsung Solid State Drive

MZ-7PC064N/EU, MZ-7PC128B/WW, MZ-7PC256D/EU, MZ-7PC128D/EU, MZ-7PC128N/EU specifications

Samsung's MZ series SSDs, including the MZ-7PC512N/EU, MZ-7PC256N/EU, MZ-7PC512D/EU, MZ-7PC128N/EU, and MZ-7PC064D/EU, are renowned for delivering exceptional performance and reliability in the storage market. These solid-state drives (SSDs) have become popular choices for users looking to upgrade their systems with faster and more efficient storage solutions.

One of the standout features of the MZ series is its use of NAND flash memory, which significantly enhances read and write speeds compared to traditional hard drives. For instance, the MZ-7PC512N/EU offers impressive sequential read speeds of up to 540 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 470 MB/s, ensuring quick data access and file transfers. The MZ-7PC256N/EU, while slightly smaller, still holds its own with commendable performance metrics.

These SSDs utilize Samsung's proprietary TurboWrite technology, which creates a virtual write buffer to facilitate faster data writing. This technology allows for accelerated performance during large file transfers, leading to overall better user experiences in demanding applications such as gaming and content creation.

In terms of durability, the MZ series boasts features such as up to 1500 TBW (Terabytes Written) endurance ratings, allowing for extensive writing and rewriting without degradation in performance. This makes them ideal for heavy users, professionals, and gamers who need reliable storage that withstands intensive usage.

Another key technology integrated into these SSDs is the Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) functionality, providing hardware-based encryption that secures user data without compromising performance. This is particularly vital for users concerned about data security, making these drives suitable for personal and enterprise-level applications.

Moreover, the MZ series is designed with energy efficiency in mind. Consuming less power than traditional HDDs, these SSDs contribute to improved battery life in laptops and reduce overall energy costs in desktop systems.

The MZ-7PC128N/EU and MZ-7PC064D/EU cater to users with lighter storage needs, offering smaller capacities while maintaining strong performance characteristics. Their compact designs make them suitable for ultrabooks and other portable devices, providing a perfect balance of speed and size.

In summary, the Samsung MZ-7PC series SSDs stand out for their blend of high performance, advanced technology, durability, and energy efficiency. Whether you're upgrading your personal computer, enhancing a gaming rig, or ensuring reliable storage for professional applications, these drives represent a solid investment in modern storage solutions.
