  • Last summer, we got our hands on Samsung's 840 EVO and tested, and tested, and tested. There were some new technologies in play, some of which had a big impact on the benchmarks we were running. But once we wrapped our heads around the performance numbers...

  • Top drawer components used, Astonishing sequential read/write results, Consistently strong performance, RAPID Mode doubles performance, Magician software is very useful
  • SATA converter required if no mSATA port, Tip = Install Magician 4.2+ and use RAPID mode for better transfer performance
  • We initially had reservations regarding mSATA, not just the drives we have tested today but the socket as a whole. It is rare that reducing power consumption and perhaps most pertinently, a products footprint that performance will not suffer as a resu...

  • The Samsung 840 EVO in its miniaturised mSATA form remains a force to be reckoned with. It effectively met the performance of the Samsung 840 EVO we first tested last year, and in some metrics was found to slightly exceed those results. If you're looking...

  • We said before that there was little to dislike about the range, and with Samsung seemingly having changed nothing except having made it smaller and lower power in the move to mSATA, that's still very much the case. The 1TB model is probably too expen...

  • Starting with the design and build quality of the Samsung Evo mSATA drives we have a range of units which stick to the mSATA form factor for size and then pack the PCB with high quality components. That starts with the latest revision of the controller Sa...

  • Abstract:  What Samsung has here is the 840 EVO – an SSD that performs better than their previous family of SSDs the 840 series. They also released their flagship SSD family – which is the 840 PRO series. The 840 EVO performs in the middle between those two. Releas...

  • Ainsi s'achève notre test du SSD Samsung 840 EVO de 1 To. Et disons le tout net, ce disque ne nous a pas laissé indifférent tant sa capacité est très très appréciable. En effet, un tel SSD d'une capacité de 1 To est probablement à l'heure actuelle le ...
