Possible high power consumption figures reported with the 512GB model.

Slower than other drives when doing random writes

Pricing Uncertain At The Moment
Performance during intensive applications not the fastest available
A little pricey for the capacity

Write performance sometimes shaky
Nothing to mention.
Due to the thin profile
The Samsung 830 series requires padding or a laptop kit
Which costs extra
To fit in most existing laptop computers

Abstract: Are you mulling the potential benefit of an SSD upgrade on a system without 6 Gb/s SATA connectivity? We run the benchmarks on several different solid-state storage architectures in order to determine how much performance you give up on an older machin...
While this Samsung 830 Series 256GB doesn’t quite top the league tables for overall performance, it is still one extremely quick storage drive. Samsung seems to have tweaked its controller to favour read speed at most file sizes, suggesting it may have...
I really like Samsung’s SSD 830 and it shows that its predecessor, the SSD 470 was no flash in the pan. While it may be more expensive than, for instance OCZ’s Vertex 3, it does come bundled with some powerful and very useful utilities. Moreover, in...

Huge capacity (for a SSD) matched by extremely fast performance. Good bundled software in the form of Norton’s Ghost 15,
Still not as fast as the fastest Sandforce drives. Cost per gigabyte is very high
Samsung’s 830 5132GB SSD certainly as put the cat amongst the pigeons as far as mixing it up with the latest Sandforce controlled drives. This SSD may not be as fast as some of them out there, at least it’s good to be able to have a choice when it come...
So at the end of this review, what do we have? A drive that performs pretty well, is priced competively and its TRIM command works well enough. Performance in some instances wasn’t as strong as I’d have liked. The larger drives out perform this little...
Controller is very good, fantastic read performance, bundle is loaded,
It is slower than the leading Sandforce 2281 drives, 64GB and 128GB models won't be as fast as this, Kitguru says: A great drive from Samsung and well worth shortlisting, Rating: 8.0, Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11, Share, Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Stu
The Samsung 830 Series 512GB is an impressive solid state drive directed firmly towards the performance enthusiast user. From my point of view it is very refreshing to identify a manufacturer aiming to compete against the profusion of Sandforce 2281 power...
