Samsung 1TB 840 EVO SSD

Consumer-Oriented High-Performance Entry-Level SSD '840 EVO' Line-up Launch (up to 1TB)

Samsung has released the entry-level SSD '840 EVO' line-up with significantly higher sequential write performance. Utilizing the industry's most compact 10nm-class 128Gb high-performance NAND, Samsung proprietary controller and Turbo Write drive, the Samsung SSD 840 EVO boasts superior performance. The Samsung SSD 840 EVO also has flexible product supply capacity, making it the most competitive device on the market today.

Compared with the 250GB 840 Series SSD, the highest selling capacity of the 840 lineup, the new 250GB 840 EVO now delivers 520MB/s sequential write speed – making it more than 2 times faster than last generation. In the case of 120GB model, the 840 EVO achieves 410MB/s sequential write speed, which is approximately 3 times as fast as that of the 120GB 840 Series SSD.

For the 1TB 840 EVO SSD, the sequential read/write performance has reached 540MB/s and 520MB/s. Furthermore, both the random read and write performance have achieved the highest level, reaching 98,000 IOPS (Input Output Operations Per Second) and 90,000 IOPS, respectively. This significantly enhances the user's real-world computing experience, especially when he or she is dealing with very large data files.

The Samsung SSD 840 EVO line-up is available in five capacities: 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB, supporting a wide range of computing environments and IT applications. It has also significantly narrowed the capacity-induced differences in performance, which gives consumers a broader spectrum of devices to choose from.

Press Release From Samsung SSD Global Summit:
Samsung Unveils New Solid State Drives at its Annual SSD Global Summit | Samsung Semiconductor Globa

 

WOW 540MB/s and 520MB/s!

Yea really, what a surprise.

 

Still TLC, even smaller nand geometry and no price (yet).

Yawn.


At the rated write speed - the 1TB drive should be done in less than three weeks (~497 Hrs) - does not compute...


The word 'balance' does not come to mind here with what Samsung is doing.


If it's less than $400 though; I'll buy a few for mass storage...

 

Hope the price of the 1tb comes aggressive against the M500. Im really itnerested on seeing the endurance of this TLC nad.

 

Exactly! The cost of the 1TB SSDs will start slowly dropping which is what we want with the release of more TB SSDs.

I highly doubt it'll cost less than $400 for 1TB. It'll likely be priced at or around the same price as Crucial's M500.

 

The world must be full of worn out TLC Samsung Pro SSD's. Or not.

 

Looks like we finally have another entrant into the 1TB SSD race. Could those with more knowledge than I please enlighten the rest of us as to how this should compare with the Crucial M500 960gb SSD?

Samsung hit a full terabyte of solid state storage with their 840 Evo SSD | Tech, Tech News | PC Gamer

 

I want to get 4 and stick them in my X7200 and RAID all of them!! Man that would be the best $2K+ spent.

 

I'll take one for each of my computers. how much how much?

 

more uninteresting news, same controller, higher storage, same speed, but oh wait the 120gb drive is faster in sequential! bah

 

Samsung SSD EVO suggested pricing revealed | PC Perspective
Suggested pricing - $650 isn't bad. Expect it to be lower at retail.

If you are @#$% about 20nm NAND, then Micron is ready with 16nm stuff.

They will cost you more then a leg and arm... at 600-700 a pop for the 1tb drives that is one expensive upgrade...me being that is way out of line for my budget.. I can buy HDD 1tb for cheaper and get more of them.

 

MSRP is 650 and there is another thread about this already

 

Its an MEX instead of a MDX controller actually.

I wonder how the steady state performance is like on a 10nm class NAND. I suppose its probably 14nm.

 

Where's the big bucks made coming from for SSD makers?

It's in the OEM devices put into PCs as the stock equipment.

When you look at a new notebook's stock SSd specs listed by the notebook maker it will say the capacity and SATA revision but note the maker.

In my region just about all the 120GB 2.5" SSDs in notebooks as stock are Samsung 840 and the mSATA are SanDisk but you will only see this info in a review and not the PC makers specs.Before the 840 they were 830

The 840 EVO because of it's price will probably be pushed to PC makers as an OEM product.

A lower advertized stock notebook/desktop/tablet price is what the highly paid marketing gurus seek and exploit to the masses of potential uninformed buyers.

Memory,ODDs and wireless cards are also OEM and not listed by brand in most notebook stock specs.

 

Oh yes...all for the low-low price of $650+tax (and shipping). I spent less than $200 for my two 750GB drives and they run just fine and dandy. Paying over a grand for 1GB of fast storage?

 

$650??? Lol..

I hope NOBODY buys these based on Samsung's 'name'.

The Crucial M500's have some very compelling enterprise and Windows 8 centric features that Samsung doesn't even begin to hint at.

And; the M500's are MLC based still...

And the M500's are cheaper (yeah; I don't count the 40GB's against them when I'll be OP'ing them by ~350GB's anyway...

And so far (all) the Samsung SSD's feel 'laggy' to me...



NEXT PLEASE!!!

 

As there were two threads on the same topic, I've combined them into this one thread in the SSD subforum. Carry on!

 

Since most of my SSD's have been Samsung, I'll probably buy this once when it's released. I'll either throw it in a USB 3.0 enclosure or my Ultra Bay Adapter.

 

only the name changed the soc that is the controller is the same, just with a little bit more clocks

Samsung 840 EVO SSD review - Article

there's also one on thessdreview(no links allowed)

 

If it's same as 128GB, 200TB written and so far works fine. Read speeds affected negatively but not write: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sol...0497-samsung-840-120gb-endurance-testing.html

 

Way back when the original TLC 840 was announced, I had harbored hopes of cheaper $/GB SSDs. Too bad my hopes did not come to fruition. I'm harboring no such hopes for the 840 EVO.

Thanks for article! Pretty incredible worse case scenario 25 years. I remember buying my first hard drive in 1992 (over 20 years ago) and it was 80MB (yes MB). I don't think it would serve any practical purpose today, nor even be useful if it were at its best performance.
