  • Alright, well that's about 4 days worth of testing on literally the exact same drive I tested about five months ago. Yay! At least I'm now running a far more comprehensive testing suite, so I guess it's still a win…I probably don't have to say this, but o...

  • Last year when Samsung first introduced the original 840 SSD, I had two reservations with the drive – performance and reliability. With the Samsung 840 EVO, I think Samsung has done a great job addressing both fronts, so let's start with performance. When...

  • Abstract:  While manufacturers have announced larger capacity SSDs (2TB and more), for storing a lot of files, a mechanical HDD is still a much more affordable option. This looks set to change in the future though, as SSD production volume increases lead to lower pr...

  • In years past, we worried about testing Samsung's smaller capacity SSDs, and I think Samsung worried about what we would come up with as well. Before RAPID, the smaller capacity drives with lower interleaving levels between the flash and the controller w...

  • If you read our SSD reviews often, you might have noticed we didn't run the battery life test today. The 840 EVO supports DEVSLP, but our Lenovo W530 doesn't. We're currently waiting for a new Lenovo T540 with DEVSLP support to arrive. When it hits the d...

  • Great performance, One of the best £/GB of any SSD on the market, Robust “metal” casing
  • 3 year warranty not as much as some brands are offering, 1TB SSD is still much more expensive compared to mechanical drives
  • The 840 EVO might not be the latest drive in Samsung's arsenal, but it has been a really interesting one given that this drive is over a year old and Samsung have even released the 850 Pro since. With £/GB prices constantly dropping, the Samsung 840 EVO 1...

  • Abstract:  I'm very fond of my MacBook Pro. It's an early 2011 17”model: the penultimate model before Apple discontinued the 17” chassis. And there's the rub. If you want a large-screen Macbook Pro now, your only option is the 15” Retina display, which may have more...
