Samsung SSD 840
The Samsung SSD 840 is
the Single Best Upgrade for your PC
The easiest and most economical way to breathe new life into an existing system is
to upgrade to an SSD. When boot-up speeds and application loads are slow, people
become frustrated with their PCs’ performance. Today, most PC performance woes
are the result of slow read and write speeds on behalf of the main storage device
rather than a lack of CPU performance. Thus, upgrading to a Samsung SSD 840 can
breathe new life into your system by enhancing boot-up speed, application loading,
and multi-tasking performance.
Simple, 3-Step Upgrade Solution
Don’t waste your time & money by changing PCs. With its simple upgrade solution,
Samsung’s 840 is the single best upgrade for your PC and will deliver a whole new
PC experience. There is nothing to fear, because a simple, 3-step process will easily
migrate all of your existing data. The much-improved Magician software makes it
convenient to maintain your SSD at its best condition. And Samsung’s SSD 840 is
available with a full range of installation accessories for both desktops and laptops.
* Installation accessories are offered only in kit models.
** Samsung Data Migration S/W will be available on www.samsung.com/samsungssd.
SSDs save time, letting you do more
of what you love
With the Samsung 840, photo editing programs load twice as quickly and video clips
render 30% faster than with an HDD. An 840 Series SSD helps you get work done and
out to family and friends in no time, leaving extra time to do more of what you love.
Spend less time in front of the computer and more time making memories.

Ultra Low Power Consumption for Longer Battery Life
Samsung has made major leaps forward in power efficiency with the 840 Series. It boasts the
lowest idle power consumption of any SSD*, an extremely important achievement considering
that SSDs spend a vast majority of their time sitting idle (a positive side-effect of their
extremely fast processing speeds). In fact, Samsung’s new MDX controller consumes only
40mwatt of power during idle mode - half that of its predecessor and up to 97% less than other
SSD controllers. Further improvements come from the use of LPDDR2 cache memory, which
offers higher performance while consuming 30% less power when active and 93% less power
when idle than regular DDR2 or DDR3 memory. All of this results in an improvement of up to 30
minutes in battery life over the 830 Series, letting you get more out of your mobile experience.
Keep your data safe with
Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) Technology
Simply enable an HDD password via your computer’s BIOS, and Samsung’s SSD 840 applies
data encryption automatically. You can re-purpose your drive or dispose of your data
simply by running a Secure Erase through Samsung’s Magician software.
A True End-to-End, Integrated Solution
Samsung SSDs are designed completely in-house. To arrive at the perfect solution,
Samsung builds all of the main SSD components itself. The result is enhanced performance
with Toggle DDR2 NAND flash, lower power consumption with LPDDR2 cache memory, and
better energy efficiency with the 3-core MDX controller.

-The SSD Review-
The 840 exceeded all our
expectations. It’s faster,
overall, than most of the
previous generation MLC
NAND based SSDs we have
tested, which says a lot
about Samsung’s skill when
it comes to designing a
controller and firmware.

Media Review
Samsung SSD 840
Samsung’s 840 and 840 PRO drives are among the
most power efficient drives we’ve seen to date,
which will make them excellent additions
for notebook/laptop users
…
The Samsung Data Migration utility is probably
the easiest software I’ve worked with and I’d like
to give Samsung a big thumbs up in this regard.
