Samsung 840 EVO 1TB mSATA SSD Announced For December

Samsung updates its 840 EVO mSATA SSD line-up with a high-capacity storage leaving other manufacturers behind. The new 840 EVO model has a ginormous 1TB capacity, a first of its kind.

Solid-State Drives (SSD) utilizes flash memory to store data compared to metal plates on HDD. The result is more power efficient and lighter storage that paves the way for smaller, lighter and thinner computers.

Samsung’s 840 EVO was introduced in July during Samsung’s SSD Global Summit originally offered in 120GB, 250GB and 500GB. The 1TB model utilizes four 16-layer 128 gigabit (Gb) NAND flash memory packages with a total weight of 8.5 grams and 3.85 mm thickness – which is 40% thinner and 92% lighter than standard hard drives. In addition, all 840 EVO SSD models yield 98,000 random read and 90,000 random write IOPS; and 540MB/s sequential read speeds and 520MB/s sequential write speeds. All models  utilize Samsung’s own controller and TurboWrite technology.

Other storage drives (HDD /SSD) can be used with all 840 EVO SSD models as long as it supports mSATA port. Users may also use Samsung Magician 4.3 software to boost sequential read speeds up to 1000MB/s while on RAPID (Real-time Accelerated Processing of I/O Data) mode.

Interested consumers are expected to pay top dollar for the SSD when it launches later this month.
