Abstract: I feel a little silly saying this, but the Crucial M500 960GB and Samsung 840 EVO 1TB are two of the best values in the SSD market. Both drives sell for north of $500, which puts them firmly in high-end territory. However, they also have loads of storage....
Really fast with the RAPID off!, Extremely fast with the RAPID on!, Storage capacity (up to 1 TB), 3 year warranty, SelfEncrypting Drive (SED) security technology
This was the first SATA3 drive that I've tested and before this, I didn't think that there would be a need for such an upgrade on the SATA standard. I was totally happy with the throughput of my previous data storage setup based on the SATA2 units. Wi...
"PRO PERFORMANCE WITHOUT THE PRO PRICE TAG."TurboWrite brings 840 PRO performance to the EVO line. For everyday usage and outside of files copy, I do not expect to see I/O writes greater than 3GB at one time. So as long as the write I/O stays under the 3G...
Abstract: TLC NAND is supposed to be the wave of the future for SSD’s. Triple Level Cell (TLC) NAND promises to significantly lower dollar per GB costs, making solid state storage significantly more affordable thereby increasing mainstream adoption. A lot of ma...
Stand-out software package, RAPID Mode lets you use extra RAM as a cache for benchmark-busting speed, Available in capacities as high as 1TB, Reasonably priced
TLC NAND longevity is rated lower than MLC chips' in other drives
Samsung's TLC-NAND-based SSD should be good for years of super-fast performance, and if you make use of its RAM-caching feature, it should feel faster with common tasks than any other consumer-grade SATA drive on the market. Read More…...
Quick and dependable yet roomy and affordable everything we've been waiting for in an enthusiast solid state drive.
Honestly, not much. RAPID caching occupies up to a gig of system memory (for a good reason), and it's not as affordable as the Crucial M500 but you can't have it all.
Samsung has yet to disappoint us with one of its SSDs. Three years ago, the 470 series topped our performance charts and gave the Crucial RealSSD C300 a run for its money. A year later, Samsung followed up with its 830 series, whose extreme performance be...

The Samsung 840 EVO 500GB drive yields 465GB available for the end user after the over provisioning and GiB (1Gib = 1,073,741,824 bytes) to GB (1GB byte = 1,000,000,000 bytes) conversion. Samsung has really impressed us again with their latest incarnat...

Abstract: Micron's consumer products division, Crucial, wasn't the first brand to introduce a 1 TB SSD. But it was the first to sell one for less than a fortune, and it sports some snazzy new features to boot. We got our hands on the entire line-up to test. Idaho...
