Experience a brand new, faster performance

840 EVO is significantly faster than a standard HDD, providing more rapid sequential and random read and write times for every task. Samsung’s new 3-bit MLC NAND flash memory stores data more efficiently, increasing both speed and reliability. Whether it’s a heavy workload like video file editing or a simple task like a virus scan, 840 EVO runs every job smoothly and quickly. Multitasking is a simple job for this SSD, which can operate several tasks simultaneously nearly three times faster than an HDD.

Also, with Samsung’s innovative TurboWrite technology, 840 EVO also dramatically boosts the sequential write rate. The drive’s random read rate for light workloads (QD1) is 10,000 Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), the best in the industry. To improve system-level performance, turn on the RAPID cache function on Samsung Magician software to use the PC’s free DRAM as a cache. Working more efficiently with the high-performing Samsung SSD 840 EVO will change your everyday computer usage. Now, your computer will wait for you—not the other way around.

Always be in high acceleration

If you are a speed demon, you will certainly enjoy the new level of excitement 840 EVO offers you. Thanks to Samsung’s TurboWrite technology, 840 EVO can deliver much faster sequential write speeds compared to the previous 840 model, tripling the speed from 130 to 410MB/s in 120 GB drives, and doubling it from 250 to 520MB/s in 250 GB drives. Utilizing an innovative write acceleration algorithm and high performance write buffer, you can expect accelerated speeds and higher satisfaction from your PC.

Enjoy rapid performance by switching to a higher gear

Like changing gears in a car, with Magician software you have the option of RAPID mode, enhancing performance by processing data on a system level through the use of free PC memory (DRAM) as a cache. Depending on your PC memory, you can expect higher performance and more efficient command processing, which improves with repeated tasking. Boost into a higher gear to vastly improve QD1 random write performance to almost the same level as QD32.

Unmatched reliability for consistently high performance

Toughen up your PC with 840 EVO so that it can cope with almost any daily life situation. Shocks, vibrations, high temperatures—bring it on! With its robust strength, 840 EVO boasts an incredibly long life expectancy and a very low failure rate. What’s more, Samsung offers a 3-year warranty to back it up.

The reliability of 840 EVO does not apply only to its physique. Equipped with Advanced Signal Processing, 840 EVO automatically corrects errors so you’ll worry less about your data’s stability. Plus, using Samsung Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology (SMART), you can track your SSD’s health status. SMART warns you of any unforeseen errors before they occur, so you’ll be prepared.

In addition, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard Algorithm in 840 EVO’s firmware monitors the temperature of the SSD, preventing it from overheating. When the SSD is exposed to hot weather or extreme temperatures, the algorithm controls the SSD’s power supply to keep it cool. Plus, with 840 EVO your PC becomes lighter and more energy-efficient, which means you can carry it with you more.

Rock-solid encryption to secure your data

When you take your laptop on the road, you expose your personal information to new vulnerabilities. But don’t worry, 840 EVO’s Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security technology will help keep your data safe at all times. The drive includes an AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that your personal files remain secure, even if you lose your laptop. Being hardware-based, the encryption engine secures your data without performance degradation that you may experience with a software-based encryption.

Keep your PC performance safe from heat

When you’re immersed in your work, you might not notice that your PC is burning hot and struggling to keep up. With 840 EVO, your PC stays cool, even when you sometimes overwork it. 840 EVO includes Dynamic Thermal Guard protection, which monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures for the drive. The throttling feature can drop the SSD’s temperature when necessary to protect your data and ensure the responsiveness you expect.

Increased energy efficiency to keep you doing what you love

Enjoy doing more of what you love on your computer for a longer time. 840 EVO features lower idle power consumption compared to HDDs. This is important because PCs spend 80 to 90 percent of their time sitting idle. The drive promotes energy savings and longer battery life, which gives you more time and flexibility when you’re on the go.

Simple and easy tools for a convenient upgrade

With 840 EVO, your upgrade becomes simple and quick. Using a SATA-to-USB 3.0 connector provided in the laptop upgrade package, for a data size of 100 GB, you can migrate all the data from your HDD to 840 EVO in only 24 minutes—just a third of the time needed for a SATA-to-USB 2.0 connector offered in some previous models.
Using the One-stop Install Navigator software, your SSD installation will be a snap. The Auto Install guide included in the toolkit will guide you smoothly through the whole installation process. The Samsung Data Migration software helps you through the migration with a straightforward three-step process, recommending user options so that you can migrate your data in the optimal way.
What’s more, you can conveniently monitor, manage and maintain your new SSD with the Samsung Magician software that’s also offered in the One-stop Install Navigator toolkit. Samsung Magician features tools to help you maximize performance, including benchmarking, advanced OS optimization, disk health status tracking and over-provisioning settings. 840 EVO makes your upgrade a simple job, and your PC’s awesome performance will leave you feeling glad that you did.

Integrated solution combining top-quality components

Just as delectable dishes are made from the best ingredients, Samsung combines the finest components to create superior-quality SSDs. Samsung uses the best quality NAND flash memory chips from its own fabrication lines for SSDs. Only the chips with the highest quality, top performance and greatest longevity potential are selected for SSDs, the most demanding of memory applications. With all the components, including controllers and DRAM, produced by Samsung, the quality of your SSD is assured. Advanced new firmware that optimizes how the components go together enables Samsung to serve up the right combination for your PC’s best performance and reliability.

Add style to your PC

With the Samsung 840 EVO you not only get optimal performance but top of the line design that emphasizes luxury and refinement. Unlike other SSDs that die-cast the surface using conventional CNC-milling, 840 EVO uses both new structural engineering and C-cutting to diamond-cut the premium titan surface for a sleek and stylish appearance. Watch your PC be reborn with a premium new look that expresses its powerful performance and efficiency.

Choose the capacity that’s right for you

With a wide range of capacities from a basic 120 GB, a rare offering of 750 GB, to the spacious 1 TB, 840 EVO helps you find the perfect SSD for your PC upgrade. If you were previously reluctant to upgrade to an SSD because the capacities were lacking, now is the time to reconsider your SSD options. Because it is offered in the same capacities as conventional HDDs, 840 EVO eliminates the need to scale up or scale down the size of your drive. 840 EVO comes in ample sizes of 750 GB and 1 TB to satisfy your extensive storage needs. Plus, 840 EVO gives you a real 1 TB drive running inside your computer rather than the 960 GB SSDs previously labeled as “1 TB drives.” Choose the right-sized SSD for your PC, all with the superb quality that a Samsung-made SSD can offer.

Как мы помним, в августе прошлого года некоторые пользователи стали отмечать проблемы с уровнем производительности приобретённых ими ранее SSD-накопителей серии Samsung 840 EVO. Суть заключалась в том, что скорость чтения долго хранимых неизменяемых данных начинала постепенно снижаться. Проблема решалась только перезаписью необходимых файлов, либо принудительным выполнением дефрагментации, что негативно сказывалось на ресурсе флеш-памяти накопителя (напомним, что в основе 840 EVO лежит TLC, а не MLC NAND). Затем поток жалоб заметно возрос.

В сентябре представители Samsung, наконец, признали наличие данной проблемы, а 15 октября вышло и специальное приложение, которое производило полную перезапись всего объёма и обновление микрокода контроллера. Казалось бы всё, проблема решена. Однако доверие к 840 EVO среди покупателей, по-видимому, настолько упало что в ноябре Samsung даже отложила дебют 850 EVO, который, по слухам, был намечен на 24 ноября и выпустила его в декабре. Мало того, была объявлена специальная промо-акция: каждому покупателю накопителя серии 840 EVO в подарок предоставлялся лицензионный ключ к популярному шутеру Far Cry 4, который как раз вышел в те дни.

Однако, с течением времени, выяснилось, что проблема не решена до конца: у некоторых пользователей снова стали возникать проблемы со скоростями чтения. На этот раз, как сообщает AnandTech, компания Samsung не стала затягивать с признанием проблемы:

In October, Samsung released a tool to address a slowdown in 840 EVO Sequential Read speeds reported by a small number of users after not using their drive for an extended period of time. This tool effectively and immediately returned the drive’s performance to normal levels. We understand that some users are experiencing the slowdown again. While we continue to look into the issue, Samsung will release an updated version of the Samsung SSD Magician software in March that will include a performance restoration tool.

Чтобы использовать возможности SSD по максимуму, необходимо соответствующее программное обеспечение — такое как бесплатная утилита Samsung Magician, которая позволяет обновлять прошивку, производить тесты производительности SSD и оптимизировать работу операционной системы согласно параметрам устройства.

Программа предназначена для работы со всеми SSD Samsung, включая серии 470, 750, 830, 840, 850, 860, 950, 960 и 970. Она не подойдёт для накопителей других производителей. С её помощью можно легко проверить оригинальность железа: в случае покупки неоригинального SSD Magician уведомит пользователя о том, что он приобрел не фирменный продукт.

Первое, что нужно сделать, — загрузить утилиту с официального сайта Samsung. Приложение абсолютно бесплатно и не предлагает приобрести «плюс-версию».

Magician

Основной раздел Magician посвящён управлению дисками — в нём пользователи могут тестировать производительность своих SSD и обновлять их прошивку. Помимо этого Magician даёт пользователям возможность оптимизировать работу накопителя, если ПК работает на ОС Windows 8 и выше. Разрешено сделать акцент на производительности, ёмкости или надёжности — либо открыть вкладку «Дополнительно» и сбалансировать параметры вручную.

Ещё одна настройка позволяет выбрать оптимальный баланс между ёмкостью и долговечностью накопителя. Это пункт Over Provisioning, где можно задать размер резервной области SSD. Можно использовать рекомендованное компанией Samsung выделение ресурсов или установить объём вручную. Это обеспечит постоянное свободное место на диске, чтобы элементы NAND изнашивались равномерно. Samsung рекомендует устанавливать объём резервной области 10%, но пользователь может выбрать любое значение до 50%.

Magician

Вкладка Secure Erase позволяет безопасно очистить диск за несколько секунд.

Для повышения быстродействия системы утилита предлагает активировать режим RAPID, который использует до 1 ГБ системной памяти в качестве кэша для часто используемых («горячих») данных. Во вкладке «Безопасность данных» показано, какие функции защиты данных доступны для каждого из дисков, и как их активировать.

Опция PSID Revert, появившаяся в одной из последних версий программы, помогает устранить ошибки, которые могут привести к блокировке диска. При её использовании будьте осторожны: все данные на диске будут удалены.

Для обеспечения максимальной безопасности данных на SSD предлагается инструмент Encrypted Drive, который шифрует диск средствами ОС с использованием функции Windows BitLocker.

Подробная информация о Magician доступна на официальном сайте Samsung. Её можно скачать абсолютно бесплатно.
