Samsung SSD 840

A True End-to-End, Integrated Solution

Samsung SSDs are designed completely in-house. To arrive at the perfect solution, Samsung builds all of the main SSD components itself. The result is enhanced performance with Toggle DDR2 NAND flash, lower power consumption with LPDDR2 cache memory, and better energy efficiency with the 3-core MDX controller.

Ultra Low Power Consumption for Longer Battery Life

Samsung has made major leaps forward in power efficiency with the 840 Series. It boasts the lowest idle power consumption of any SSD*, an extremely important achievement considering that SSDs spend a vast majority of their time sitting idle (a positive side-effect of their extremely fast processing speeds). In fact, Samsung’s new MDX controller consumes only 40mwatt of power during idle mode - half that of its predecessor and up to 97% less than other SSD controllers. Further improvements come from the use of LPDDR2 cache memory, which offers higher performance while consuming 30% less power when active and 93% less power when idle than regular DDR2 or DDR3 memory. All of this results in an improvement of up to 30 minutes in battery life over the 830 Series, letting you get more out of your mobile experience.

The Samsung SSD 840 is

the Single Best Upgrade for your PC

The easiest and most economical way to breathe new life into an existing system is to upgrade to an SSD. When boot-up speeds and application loads are slow, people become frustrated with their PCs’ performance. Today, most PC performance woes are the result of slow read and write speeds on behalf of the main storage device rather than a lack of CPU performance. Thus, upgrading to a Samsung SSD 840 can breathe new life into your system by enhancing boot-up speed, application loading, and multi-tasking performance.

Keep your data safe with

Self-Encrypting Drive(SED) Technology

Simply enable an HDD password via your computer’s BIOS, and Samsung’s SSD 840 applies data encryption automatically. You can re-purpose your drive or dispose of your data simply by running a Secure Erase through Samsung’s Magician software.

Simple, 3-Step Upgrade Solution

Don’t waste your time & money by changing PCs. With its simple upgrade solution, Samsung’s 840 is the single best upgrade for your PC and will deliver a whole new PC experience. There is nothing to fear, because a simple, 3-step process will easily migrate all of your existing data. The much-improved Magician software makes it convenient to maintain your SSD at its best condition. And Samsung’s SSD 840 is available with a full range of installation accessories for both desktops and laptops.

*Installation accessories are offered only in kit models.

**Samsung Data Migration S/W will be available on www.samsung.com/samsungssd.

SSDs save time, letting you do more of what you love

With the Samsung 840, photo editing programs load twice as quickly and video clips render 30% faster than with an HDD. An 840 Series SSD helps you get work done and out to family and friends in no time, leaving extra time to do more of what you love. Spend less time in front of the computer and more time making memories.

Performance of the 840 is excellent with each benchmark seemingly supporting and building on the last.

-The SSD Review-

Samsung’s 840 and 840 PRO drives are among the most power efficient drives we’ve seen to date, which will make them excellent additions

for notebook/laptop users…

The Samsung Data Migration utility is probably the easiest software I’ve worked with and I’d like to give Samsung a big thumbs up in this regard.

Samsung SSD 840

Media Review

The 840 exceeded all our expectations. It’s faster, overall, than most of the previous generation MLC NAND based SSDs we have tested, which says a lot about Samsung’s skill when it comes to designing a controller and firmware.
