Samsung 840 PRO Series SSD

The Samsung 840 PRO series is a high-performance SSD designed for power users. Featuring a SATAIII 6Gbps interface and Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 NAND flash memory, it delivers blazing-fast read/write speeds. And the Samsung 3-core MDX controller ensures sustained performance under the most punishing conditions. Plus, the 840 PRO series provides a group of business-friendly features, such as hardware-based AES 256-bit full disk encryption for worry-free data security and Magician software for easy maintenance. Easily add it to your system and enjoy faster boot-up, quicker application response, more responsive multitasking, etc.

Thin Profile

At only 7 millimeters in thickness, the 2.5” 840 PRO series SSD allows for seamless integration into any slim PC case.

Unrivaled Performance

Capable of delivering up to 100,000 IOPS random read speed* and 540MBps sequential read speed*, the 840 PRO series is an SSD of unrivaled high performance. Even better, the advanced MDX controller delivers these speeds regardless of data type, unlike some competing controllers that greatly favor compressible data.

Performance Sustainability

The 840 PRO series provides the same excellent performance throughout its entire lifetime and under extremely heavy workloads. In fact, the sophisticated MDX controller is capable of maintaining peak performance under punishing conditions for more than twice as long as the nearest competitor.

Business Friendly Features

The 840 PRO series introduces three important hardware features for businesses: Worldwide Name (WWN), LED Indicator support, and hardware-based AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption (FDE). The first two of these features make it easier to integrate the 840 PRO SSD into server and storage systems. The third, hardwarebased AES Encryption helps safeguard data against attack by encrypting all information on the disk at the hardware level, which means there is no detrimental effect on performance. Also, destroying data is as easy as performing a Secure Erase using the Magician software.

In additional to the hardware features mentioned above, Samsung's Magician software is being completely redesigned and includes several business-friendly new features. With the addition of Drive Health Status, Total Bytes Written (TBW), and Disk Scan & Error Reporting functionality, it will be much easier for IT managers to monitor drive health and plan hardware replacement cycles.

Superior Reliability

As the world's #1 DRAM, NAND Flash, and SSD supplier, Samsung has unique, industry-leading engineering resources, technologies, and manufacturing processes as well as more stringent quality and testing standards. All Samsung SSDs are designed and built completely in-house, rather than sourcing generic parts from the market. The Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series is optimized for exceptional, sustained performance and unrivaled reliability through its specially-engineered wearleveling and garbage collection algorithms.

Note: * Performance may vary based on SSD's firmware version, system hardware & configuration.
