Experience a brand new, faster performance
840 EVO is significantly faster than a standard HDD, providing more rapid
sequential and random read and write times for every task. Samsung’s new
3-bit MLC NAND flash memory stores data more efficiently, increasing both speed
and reliability. Whether it’s a heavy workload like video file editing or a
simple task like a virus scan, 840 EVO runs every job smoothly and quickly.
Multitasking is a simple job for this SSD, which can operate several tasks
simultaneously nearly three times faster than an HDD.
Also, with Samsung’s innovative TurboWrite technology, 840 EVO also
dramatically boosts the sequential write rate. The drive’s random read rate
for light workloads (QD1) is 10,000 Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS),
the best in the industry. To improve system-level performance, turn on the RAPID
cache function on Samsung Magician software to use the PC’s free DRAM as a
cache. Working more efficiently with the high-performing Samsung SSD 840 EVO
will change your everyday computer usage. Now, your computer will wait for
you—not the other way around.
Always be in high acceleration
If you are a speed demon, you will certainly enjoy the new level of excitement
840 EVO offers you. Thanks to Samsung’s TurboWrite technology, 840 EVO
can deliver much faster sequential write speeds compared to the previous
840 model, tripling the speed from 130 to 410MB/s in 120 GB drives, and
doubling it from 250 to 520MB/s in 250 GB drives. Utilizing an innovative
write acceleration algorithm and high performance write buffer, you can expect
accelerated speeds and higher satisfaction from your PC.
Enjoy rapid performance by switching to a higher gear
Like changing gears in a car, with Magician software you have the option of
RAPID mode, enhancing performance by processing data on a system level through
the use of free PC memory (DRAM) as a cache. Depending on your PC memory, you
can expect higher performance and more efficient command processing, which
improves with repeated tasking. Boost into a higher gear to vastly improve QD1
random write performance to almost the same level as QD32.
Unmatched reliability for consistently high performance
Toughen up your PC with 840 EVO so that it can cope with almost any daily life
situation. Shocks, vibrations, high temperatures—bring it on! With its robust
strength, 840 EVO boasts an incredibly long life expectancy and a very low
failure rate. What’s more, Samsung offers a 3-year warranty to back it up.
The reliability of 840 EVO does not apply only to its physique. Equipped with
Advanced Signal Processing, 840 EVO automatically corrects errors so you’ll
worry less about your data’s stability. Plus, using Samsung Self-Monitoring
Analysis & Reporting Technology (SMART), you can track your SSD’s health
status. SMART warns you of any unforeseen errors before they occur, so you’ll
be prepared.
In addition, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard Algorithm in
840 EVO’s firmware monitors the temperature of the SSD, preventing it from
overheating. When the SSD is exposed to hot weather or extreme temperatures, the
algorithm controls the SSD’s power supply to keep it cool. Plus, with
840 EVO your PC becomes lighter and more energy-efficient, which means you can
carry it with you more.
Rock-solid encryption to secure your data
When you take your laptop on the road, you expose your personal information to
new vulnerabilities. But don’t worry, 840 EVO’s Self-Encrypting Drive
(SED) security technology will help keep your data safe at all times. The drive
includes an AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that your
personal files remain secure, even if you lose your laptop. Being
hardware-based, the encryption engine secures your data without performance
degradation that you may experience with a software-based encryption.
Keep your PC performance safe from heat
When you’re immersed in your work, you might not notice that your PC is
burning hot and struggling to keep up. With 840 EVO, your PC stays cool, even
when you sometimes overwork it. 840 EVO includes Dynamic Thermal Guard
protection, which monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures for the
drive. The throttling feature can drop the SSD’s temperature when necessary
to protect your data and ensure the responsiveness you expect.
Increased energy efficiency to keep you doing what you love
Enjoy doing more of what you love on your computer for a longer time. 840 EVO
features lower idle power consumption compared to HDDs. This is important
because PCs spend 80 to 90 percent of their time sitting idle. The drive
promotes energy savings and longer battery life, which gives you more time and
flexibility when you’re on the go.
Simple and easy tools for a convenient upgrade
With 840 EVO, your upgrade becomes simple and quick. Using a SATA-to-USB
3.0 connector provided in the laptop upgrade package, for a data size of
100 GB, you can migrate all the data from your HDD to 840 EVO in only
24 minutes—just a third of the time needed for a SATA-to-USB 2.0 connector
offered in some previous models.
Using the One-stop Install Navigator software, your SSD installation will be a
snap. The Auto Install guide included in the toolkit will guide you smoothly
through the whole installation process. The Samsung Data Migration software
helps you through the migration with a straightforward three-step process,
recommending user options so that you can migrate your data in the optimal
way.
What’s more, you can conveniently monitor, manage and maintain your new SSD
with the Samsung Magician software that’s also offered in the One-stop
Install Navigator toolkit. Samsung Magician features tools to help you maximize
performance, including benchmarking, advanced OS optimization, disk health
status tracking and over-provisioning settings. 840 EVO makes your upgrade a
simple job, and your PC’s awesome performance will leave you feeling glad
that you did.
Integrated solution combining top-quality components
Just as delectable dishes are made from the best ingredients, Samsung combines
the finest components to create superior-quality SSDs. Samsung uses the best
quality NAND flash memory chips from its own fabrication lines for SSDs. Only
the chips with the highest quality, top performance and greatest longevity
potential are selected for SSDs, the most demanding of memory applications. With
all the components, including controllers and DRAM, produced by Samsung, the
quality of your SSD is assured. Advanced new firmware that optimizes how the
components go together enables Samsung to serve up the right combination for
your PC’s best performance and reliability.
Add style to your PC
With the Samsung 840 EVO you not only get optimal performance but top of the
line design that emphasizes luxury and refinement. Unlike other SSDs that
die-cast the surface using conventional CNC-milling, 840 EVO uses both new
structural engineering and C-cutting to diamond-cut the premium titan surface
for a sleek and stylish appearance. Watch your PC be reborn with a premium new
look that expresses its powerful performance and efficiency.
Choose the capacity that’s right for you
With a wide range of capacities from a basic 120 GB, a rare offering of
750 GB, to the spacious 1 TB, 840 EVO helps you find the perfect SSD for your
PC upgrade. If you were previously reluctant to upgrade to an SSD because the
capacities were lacking, now is the time to reconsider your SSD options. Because
it is offered in the same capacities as conventional HDDs, 840 EVO eliminates
the need to scale up or scale down the size of your drive. 840 EVO comes in
ample sizes of 750 GB and 1 TB to satisfy your extensive storage needs. Plus,
840 EVO gives you a real 1 TB drive running inside your computer rather than
the 960 GB SSDs previously labeled as “1 TB drives.” Choose the right-sized
SSD for your PC, all with the superb quality that a Samsung-made SSD
can offer.
