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 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.

If you are a speed demon, you will certainly enjoy the new level of excitement the 840 EVO offers you. Thanks to Samsung's TurboWrite technology, the 840 EVO can deliver much faster sequential write speeds compared to the previous 840 model. Utilizing an innovative write acceleration algorithm and high performance write buffer, you can expect accelerated speeds and higher satisfaction from your PC.

The Magician software features the RAPID mode which enhances the 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.

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 the performance degradation that you may experience with a software-based encryption.

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.

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

With the Samsung 840 EVO you not only get optimal performance but also top-of-the-line design that emphasizes luxury and refinement. The 840 EVO uses improved 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.
