Samsung SSD 840 und 840 PRO angekündigt

Zitat

The performance and power characteristics of Samsung's SSD 840 Pro are as close to perfect as we've seen from any drive this generation. In all but a handful of benchmarks, the 840 Pro is the fastest consumer SSD we've ever tested. Even more important than its industry leading performance is the fact that the 840 Pro delivers great performance while remaining one of the lowest power SSDs to make it through our labs. Assuming the premature death of our review sample was a fluke and not indicative of a bigger issue, the 840 Pro could be the first drive in quite a while to offer the absolute best performance at power consumption levels that are notebook friendly.

Nachdem sich Geburtstage nicht verschieben lassen, kannst wohl nur hoffen, dass noch ein bischen was geht, aber viel nicht, so 5-10€.

With the release of the SSD 840 and the SSD 840 Pro, we can see at least one downside to this situation. While we have been able to review an SSD 840 Pro unit in the lab, the amount of available information on the drive has been small and its errors and omissions suggest that the final material had not been completely vetted by Samsung engineers. With the standard SSD 840, there has simply been no hard information to work with, which considering its first-to-market SSD with TLC-NAND, seems very strange.

That said, our own testing of the SSD 840 Pro reveals it to be a capable step forward from the succesful SSD 830. While the SSD 840 Pro has a few weak points which may limit its appeal for certain high-write applications, the SSD 840 Pro maintained average performance even in benchmarks when it did not finish in the first three positions. And even though real world power consumption is extremely higher than Samsung's unbelievably low quoted rates, the 840 Pro compared well with the prior generation 830, especially at startup.
