  • Performances globales excellentes, Prix mesuré
  • Eciture max limitée, Prix pour du TLC, Quid de la TLC
  • Comme nous venons de la voir dans cet article, les performances du nouveau SSD de Samsung sont bonnes, voire même parmi les meilleures dans certaines situations. Le SSD offre toujours des débits de premier ordre et des temps d'accès qui sont bas. Seule...

  • Débits en lecture de haute tenue, Stabilité du firmware
  • Écriture bridée, Durabilité en question, De la TLC au prix de la MLC !
  • Avec son 840 Series, Samsung inaugure le marché des SSD en NAND flash TLC, à trois bits par cellule. On s'attendait donc à des performances en retrait, mais les tests menés sont plus que rassurants. On s'attendait aussi à des prix en baisse, mais ce n'est...

  • Abstract:  Gli appassionati "smanettoni&quot, ma anche chi non è particolarmente esperto, sanno ormai molto bene che l'aggiornamento del proprio sistema sostituendo il disco tradizionale con un SSD permette di ottenere miglioramenti prestazionali notevoli. Lo storage primario è quasi costantemente chiamato ad operare letture e scritture, e non certo solo per l'avvio e lo spegnimento, motivo per cui un SSD può dare nuova linfa a sistemi anche con qualche anno sulle spalle....

  • Dopo aver esordito così bene con la prima versione dei propri SSD, era lecito aspettarsi ulteriori passi avanti, da un azienda che come Samsung, possiede gli strumenti tecnologici e finanziari per sviluppare prodotti innovativi e competitivi con le propos...

  • Fin da principio il mio approccio verso le NAND TLC non è stato dei migliori ma l'impegno per migliorarne durata ed affidabilità sembra aver dato buoni frutti e grazie a ciò Samsung ha potuto realizzare un SSD capiente ed economico. Per il taglio da 500G...
