Bottom line There's little to fault with the new Samsung SSD 840 Evo range of SSDs. They're good value in terms of cost per gigabyte, they're fast and they look pretty smart too. Add in the potentially rip-roaring performance provided by Rapid Mode and there's lit...

Last week Samsung announced the new 840 Evo SSD series to replace the existing 840 series. The write speeds should be significantly higher, but the affordable price remains the same. We tested the entire series consisting of 120 GB, 250 GB, 500 GB, 750...
Bottom line With the Samsung 840 Evo series, Samsung addressed the main weak point of the 840 series. The faster controller and especially the TurboWrite technology have brought the write speed to the level of conventional MLC SSDs. The low price of the 840 series...

Samsung's 840 EVO is a breath of fresh air in a sea of largely cookie-cutter SSDs. It's a true original—the first solid-state drive to combine TLC main storage with a faster SLC write cache. Thanks in part to this TurboWrite cache, the EVO is quick enough...
