The editors didn't like

  • 3year warranty is good
  • But beaten by the Intel 520's 5year rating
  • Possible high power consumption figures reported with the 512GB model.
  • Still has weaker 4K random write speeds than other SSDs
  • Slower than other drives when doing random writes
  • Not Available Yet
  • Pricing Uncertain At The Moment
  • Performance during intensive applications not the fastest available
  • A little pricey for the capacity
  • Expensive
  • Random
  • 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
  • Write speeds cannot compete with SandForce SF-2200 based drives
  • Can't match SandForce for 4k random IOPS.
  • Relatively high price
  • Warranty could be longer
  • Needs a SATA 6 Gbps controller to perform best

  • Abstract:  For quite a long time Samsungs SATA-II PM470 had to compete with much faster SATA-III SSDs. But finally Samsung managed to bring their PM830 SSDs to the market which now also comes with a 6 Gbps interface. Furthermore the drive should also offer very high...

  • Premium Samsung components, ARM9 triple core CPU, Consistently strong performance, Attractive bundle
  • Though the 470 excelled in build quality and performance it arrived late to the scene and suffered a lack of exposure but the 830, its successor appears to have avoided this pitfall. Inside and outside the 830 oozes superior build quality to that of i...

  • Abstract:  Samsung's 830 is a late entry to the 6 Gb/s SSD market, but the company claims impressive performance. Can it unseat the incumbent SandForce-based drives? Let's just say this new offering shakes up the SSD world in a major way. Other vendors, beware. D...

  • The first thing which strikes the user about the 830 Series SSDs from Samsung is the quality of the external casing. This brushed metal chassis looks great but also feels sturdy. The good quality components then continue inside where we find Samsung br...

  • Avant de passer aux recommandations à proprement parler, nous tenons une nouvelle fois à porter votre attention sur cette manie qu'ont les constructeurs d'afficher sur les fiches produit des débits en écriture très élevés alors qu'ils ne sont pas valab...

  • Cette entrée de gamme de Samsung a énormément pour plaire, il faut l'avouer. Autant sur le plan des performances, l'efficacité de son contrôleur, que de son positionnement tarifaire, le constructeur coréen offre un produit homogène, et semblant apte à co...
