SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD120KW 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: I own 2 of these now and they are solid. Insanely fast, a lot faster than Vertex 3, and great price. In fact, my Vertex 3 is nearly 2 years old now and already showing signs of failure.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I dropped Ubuntu 12.04 x64 on this baby and it FLIES along. Boot time is around 15 seconds, and shutdown is INSTANT.

Pros: had this ssd going on 7 month's now with an always on pc and no issue's, great ssd!

Cons: none

Pros: its an SSD.. same as all SSD pros, it worked no problems.

Cons: It feels very cheaply made. Some people LOVE samsung, its like they have a cult following.
They charge alot of money for equal if not lower quality products. There phones feel cheap to me, there TVs are 3x the price of equal tv's.

This SSD just is very light and i get that cheaply made sense.

Other Thoughts: Time will tell how this compares to say a Kingston Hyperx 3k ive been using, the Kingston is heavy compared to this, feels better quality.

The 2,5" adapter is also horrible quality from samsung, The kingston is anodized. Samsung is just a cheap peace of aluminum bent and threaded like eh...

Pros: - Fast
- Fast
- did i mention, Fast.
- bang for the buck, these run 90 bucks almost every month on newegg promo's
- Have bought over 10 of these, they all booted up and are running strong
-smooth operation

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: even though I mentioned fast multiple times these by far are not the fastest ssd's, never the less they perform very nicely.

Pros: Noticeably faster than the Kingston SSDNow I upgraded from. I thought it was a great purchase at first.

Cons: None till the drive started failing after 2 months. I first noticed a blue screen of death with a page related error. Upon reboot computer would freeze up and have to be hard powered off; the same would happen booting into safe mode. Attempted to re-install Windows and could not as it would error out.

Other Thoughts: This is the first time I have ever given a product a 1 egg review. I contacted Samsung support 4 days ago, on a Sunday after attempting to use the Samsung support site, which does not work very well. Was given a number to call on Monday. Called the number, which turned out to be Seagate, not sure if they acquired SSD when they acquired Samsung's HDD business in 2011. I was unsure, so I called Samsung's main support line and was transferred to another department that was not Seagate. Call was pleasant and left me thinking this would be resolved quickly as they said they needed just a some simple info. I gave them this 3 days back and have not heard from them since. Guess I was wrong about it being resolved quickly. Still waiting and my main computer has been down and out for nearly a week now. This is concerning as I still need to get the RMA, send them my current drive and wait for them to send me a replacement. This will probably be the last Samsung product I ever buy.

Pros: The drive is fast, quiet, cool, and has much lower energy consumption than other SSDs and hard drives. The migration software was plug and play, and the cable even works with regular SATA hard drives.

Cons: The migration software will let you migrate your data from your computer to your Samsung SSD, but it will not let you migrate your data to anything else ( other SSDs, or Sata HD )

Other Thoughts: Absolutely trouble free migration. The USB to SATA cable will be a new favorite in my tool kit. The cable was plug and play on windows 7. I was able to move files to and from other SSDs and Hard Drives.

Unfortunately the Migration software is only configured to work with Samsung SSDs. Would be great if it would allow you to clone any SATA device to any SATA device.

I am now running the 840 SSDs in 2 of my laptops and 3 client laptops. Also running 6 of them in my Server.

Pros: Fast, good materials used and cheap.. it would be perfect for a laptop too because its light. When I held the SSD in my hand it felt empty on the inside

Cons: Slow write speeds

Pros: I have one it works well, but the last one i bought it was not working, i do not understand why they do not test them before packaging

Cons: new from the box I open plugged on 2 pc, does not work, i have all ready one works well but with this one i have been not lucky i had to replace with another one, I try to save money i am spending more that i thought.

Pros: - got it on sale
- loaded Win7 without a hitch using a ASRock FM2A75 Pro4 motherboard
- Came with a bracket.
- Win7 WEI score of 7.9
- Crystal Disk Mark 3.0.2 scores:
seq read 484 write 138
512k read 392 write 138
4k read 25 write 84
QD32 read 253 write 134

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: - my first experience with SSD. Quite a bit faster than the mechanical drives. Windows loads very fast. Games open faster. Everything is just faster.

Pros: Fast Boot.
Easy install.
My new rig starts in under 15 sec under 30 for a restart.
Worth every penny.
Bought this based on what i heard about samsung SSD.

Cons: Price
TLC
After three months i have no complaints.
Seriously this SSD opened my mind to SSDs

Other Thoughts: I use this as a boot drive with Win7 pro. This SSD blew my mind, though it is my first. Can't imagine going back to HDD.
