Samsung SSD 830 256GB review
OEM reliability arrives for consumer-class drives
Reliability emphasised ; Great incompressible writes ; Sleek design
Down on performance vs competitors
Samsung has taken the unprecedented move with its Samsung SSD 830 256GB of using its own individually created firmware, DRAM and NAND. Does that give it the edge?

Samsung 830 Series 256GB review
While this Samsung 830 Series 256GB doesn’t quite top the league tables for overall performance, it is still one extremely quick storage drive. Samsung seems to have tweaked its controller to favour read speed at most file sizes, suggesting it may have...

Samsung SSD 830
Review When it came to putting together a list of SSDs together for your latest upgrade, one name that you could easily overlook until recently was Samsung. Compared to its rivals in the marketplace the company hardly trumpeted its solid state storage...
Fast Sata 3 SSD with a useful set of utilities.

Samsung 830SSD 512GB (MZ-7PC512D/EU) review
A faster alternative to a Sandforce driven SSD. In early 2011 Samsung reminded the world that they actually...
Huge capacity (for a SSD) matched by extremely fast performance. Good bundled software in the form of Norton’s Ghost 15
Still not as fast as the fastest Sandforce drives. Cost per gigabyte is very high
Samsung’s 830 5132GB SSD certainly as put the cat amongst the pigeons as far as mixing it up with the latest Sandforce controlled drives. This SSD may not be as fast as some of them out there, at least it’s good to be able to have a choice when it...

Samsung 830 SSD review: Samsung 830 SSD
It's really hard to rate a solid-state drive (SSD) without knowing its exact pricing, and that's just what we had to do with the Samsung 830 series. Samsung has been very tight-lipped about how much the 830 costs and will not reveal that until the...
The 2.5-inch SATA 3 (6Gbps)-based Samsung 830 series solid-state drive offers great performance, is well-built and good-looking. The drive comes with helpful desktop software for Windows.
Due to the thin profile, the Samsung 830 series requires padding or a laptop kit, which costs extra, to fit in most existing laptop computers.
If the price is right, you don't need to look any further than the Samsung 830 series to upgrade your computer's internal storage to the best possible performance.

Samsung SSD 830 Series (128GB)
This 2.5-inch-form-factor drive (which measures only 7mm in height—short for an SSD) is all Samsung, all the time, from its stylish black frame to its three-core controller to the DRAM to the 20nm MLC toggle DDR NAND flash memory itself. Samsung even...
Outstanding overall speed in most situations. Uses SATA III interface
Expensive. Random, write performance sometimes shaky
Samsung comes into its own with its 830 Series of SSDs, which offer some of the fastest speeds you can currently find on the market.

The Samsung SSD 830 Review
Samsung is a dangerous competitor in the SSD space. Not only does it make its own controller, DRAM and NAND, but it also has an incredible track record in terms of reliability. Samsung SSDs were among the first I reviewed and while they weren't...

Samsung 830 Series SSD Review
Samsung is kind of a big deal. In addition to manufacturing everything from tablets to televisions to turbines, the Korean giant is one of the world's largest producers of DRAM and NAND flash memory, and it has long provided SSDs to OEMs and systems...
Blazing fast, especially in sustained writes; sleek and attractive; comes with a full copy of Norton Ghost
Can't match SandForce for 4k random IOPS
And boy, does it cook. The 256GB Series 830 SSD we tested matched the fastest second-gen SandForce drives, such as OCZ’s Vertex 3, in nearly every benchmark, and it exceeded them in some. The 830 Series’ sustained read speeds stayed north of 500MB/s,...

Over the past year, the SSD product landscape has changed drastically. Performance has gone up, prices have dropped, and new competitors have emerged in the market place. One company that has been around through this and more is Samsung. While it's not...
