Samsung 840 EVO mSATA SSDs

With capacities up to a staggering 1TB, the tiny world of the mSATA SDD has just got bigger, thanks to Samsung’s new 840 EVO mSATA SSDs.

The SSD evolution has arrived with the Samsung SSD 840 EVO mSATA. Combining the best SSD technology from Samsung, the 840 EVO mSATA delivers a superior computing experience with more speed, more reliability and much easier upgrade tools. The 840 EVO mSATA also expands your experience with ultra thin PCs and desktops that utilise a mSATA slot.

Faster performance for everyday use

The market-leading 840 Series SSD has been significantly improved with the 840 EVO mSATA. Samsung’s new TurboWrite technology delivers dramatically faster sequential write performance. And with upgrades to NAND, a new controller and firmware, the 840 EVO mSATA has superfast responsiveness under everyday workloads.

Proven quality and trusted reliability

Samsung’s unparalleled end-to-end integration allows them to deliver a reliable, high-performance mSATA SSD line-up. The upgraded firmware and advanced signal processing guarantees the same level of endurance and reliability as their 2.5{2} range. The 840 EVO mSATA’s ultra-low power consumption also helps extend laptop battery life longer than before. Compared to the 2.5” form factor, the 840 EVO mSATA provides “Device sleep” (DEVSLP) mode for ultra-thin laptop PC’s and the high-end main board in desktops as well. In addition, Samsung’s Dynamic Thermal Guard algorithm in the 840 EVO mSATA maintains optimal operating temperature. Samsung 840 EVO mSATA is backed with the same 3-year limited warranty found on their 2.5” line-up.

Samsung Magician Software

Samsung Magician eliminates the confusion and uncertainties of SSD management, making it simple for users to maximise the performance and lifetime of their Samsung SSD. In addition to its performance optimisation features, Magician (as of version 4.3) provides 840 EVO mSATA users with the option to enable RAPID mode (Real-time Accelerated Processing of Input-output Data) – an innovative performance enhancement option that processes data on a system level by using free DRAM memory as cache. Once enabled on the Magician, RAPID mode provides an overall PC performance boost.

More Powerful Data Security Solutions

840 EVO mSATA’s Self-Encryption Drive (SED) security technology will help keep your data safe at all times. The drive includes an AES 256-bit Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and Physical Security ID (PSID) which makes for a hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that your personal data remains secure. Being a hardware-based solution, the encryption engine secures your data without any performance degradation that may occur while using a software-based encryption. Furthermore, the 840 EVO mSATA is compatible with TCG/Opal 2.0 and IEEE1667.

TCG/Opal specification offers authentication, configuration and policy management for government and large enterprises. Also for the IEEE1667 standard, you can use the encrypted drive as Microsoft’s BitLocker. Furthermore, the (PSID) on the label protects your data on the drive by executing a cryptographic erase and returning it to its factory status instantly while permanently reducing data disposal costs.
