The editors didn't like

  • High introductory cost/GB.

  • Significantly more expensive than the Samsung 840
  • Higher cost per GB than some competing drives
  • Write speeds were bested by various OCZ drives

  • Samsung has been making quite a name in the SSD market lately. The company’s progress can be seen from the fact that their SSD products have been ending up at the top spots of any enthusiast’s shortlist for the past couple of years. Samsung’s persisten...

  • Blistering performance on AS SSD, CrystalDiskMark and Iometer, Intuitive and useful Samsung Magician control panel, Completely inhouse developed (memory, controller and firmware)
  • Inconsistent performance, No accessories such as installation bracket, Commands considerable premium over other highend SSDs
  • As we've mentioned earlier, Samsung is in a unique position because they are one of the few SSD manufacturers who have complete control over all components of their drives - memory, controller and firmware. In theory, this would give them better control o...

  • Tanto en características ténicas como en resultados en nuestras pruebas se alzó con los mejores valores, Bajo consumo, peso y grosor
  • La relación euro/gigabyte supera la paridad

  • 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...

  • Abstract:  Pendant plusieurs dizaines d'années, le disque dur a été le point faible des ordinateurs. Avec des temps d'accès exprimés en millisecondes (10-3) alors que les mémoires et caches de la machine travaillent sur des latences qui s'expriment plutôt en nano...

  • Abstract:  Le stockage petit mais costaud. Nous comparons ici deux SSD avec des interfaces mSATA. Tous deux possèdent un contrôleur SandForce des puces MLC-NAND asynchrones de chez Intel. Notre texte révèle pourquoi le Adata XPG SX300 (128 GB) et le Runcore Pro V (1...

  • Comme on pouvait s'y attendre, les deux grappes de SSD en RAID 0 affichent des performances nettement supérieures aux SSD seuls en lecture/écriture séquentielle. La grappe de deux SSD 128 Go a presque atteint la barre des 1000 Mo/s en lecture séquentielle...

  • Nouvelle référence en lecture, Performances globales, Temps d'accès aléatoire, SSD Magician
  • Ecriture pour le 128 Go, Pas de câble en bundle, Prix un peu élevé tout de même
  • Commençons cette conclusion par un petit regret: celui de ne pas avoir disposé d'une version 256 Go de ce Samsung 840 Series, afin de la comparer au Vector d'OCZ. Lequel des deux est le meilleur SSD du moment ? Difficile de répondre à cette question du c...

  • Mémoire MLC, gage d'endurance comparée, 517 Mo/s mesurés en lecture de gros fichiers, 500 Mo/s en écriture de gros fichiers, Interface Sata III (6 Gbps), 51 grammes et un peu moins de 7 mm d'épaisseur: parfait pour un notebook, Consommation d'énergie:
  • Son rapport Prix / Go est élevé, Le gain en débit n'impacte pas l'installation/lancement des applications
  • Le SSD Samsung 840 Pro 256 Go obtient effectivement des débits encore plus élevés que le 128 Go, mais au final cela n'a que peu d'impact dans la vie de tous les jours. Il offre des performances de 1er ordre et une longue garantie de 5 ans. LES NUMERIQ...
