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...
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...

Although Samsung continues to sell 840 Basic and 840 Pro-series SSDs, none of these older SSDs come in capacities as huge as 750GB, and the older models aren’t substantially cheaper. The 840 Pro series does have a five year warranty, though, while the 840...
