The editors didn't like
TLC NAND Durability (Not for Industrial/Enterprise Use)
New NAND tech may face some adoption headwinds
Mediocre random write performance
RAPID mode is Windows only
Nothing really to mention.
If pushed very hard
The writing performance does drop off a bit.
Its triple-level-cell (TLC) NAND isn't suitable for all workloads or scenarios
The drive carries a 5-year warranty instead of the 10 years the Pro model offers. The Samsung Magician software only works with Windows
TLC NAND longevity is rated lower than MLC chips' in other drives
Won't help the Jaguars win the Superbowl
Nothing to mention.
Only threeyear warranty
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.

Abstract: We love speed… and after reviewing the Samsung 840 Pro, we were chomping at the bit to get the 840 EVO in the lab. Not only does the newer EVO model use newer 19nm 3-bit Triple-Level Cell vs that of 2-bit MLC found in the 840 Pro, but it also features a much more attractive price-point and an increased IOPS…

Although we haven't had the chance of testing the 840 thus we can't really compare it with the 840 EVO we were very impressed with it for a variety of reasons. First and foremost its read/write speeds were quite impressive for a mainstream SSD model and t...
Abstract: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD is one of the best values in a high performance SSD. We used it to upgrade a workstation class notebook in two ways. First, we used the included Samsung software to migrate from the existing SSD to the 840 EVO. Next we swapped out...

Judging by its design features, the Samsung 840 EVO is something in between Samsung’s 840 Pro and 840 models - a top-performance SSD with inexpensive TLC NAND flash memory. This description is rather superficial, though. Samsung has put much effort in...
