Desktop PC

1 Turn OFF the desktop PC power and disconnect the power cable.

2Remove the desktop PC cover.

3 If you are adding the SSD as an additional storage device, mount it in a 2.5” HDD bay. Next, connect the SATA cable and power cable to the SSD. If your PC is only equipped with 3.5” HDD bays, attach the SSD to a 2.5” to 3.5” adapter bracket before mounting it in an empty HDD bay or slot.

4If you are replacing an existing HDD with the SSD,

disconnect all cables connected to the HDD and then remove the HDD from the bay. Attach the SSD in a 2.5” to 3.5 bracket and mount the bracket in an empty HDD bay. Finally, properly connect the SATA cable and power cable.

NOTE: Desktop PCs have multiple SATA ports, depending on the PC chipset and motherboard model. Samsung recommends that the SSD be connected to the lowest numbered SATA 6Gb/s port.

Although the 830 Series SSD is compatible with both the SATA 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s ports, for maximum performance the product must be connected to a SATA 6Gb/s port.

Most Desktop PCs have 4~6 SATA ports, and each SATA port is numbered on the motherboard.

If SATA port numbers are not shown on the motherboard or you are not sure about port numbers, then you can simply install the SSD on any available port.

Usually SATA 6Gb/s ports are indicated by blue colors to distinguish itself. For more information please refer to your PC or motherboard user manuals.

5Close the desktop PC cover and reconnect the PC power cable.

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.
