SAMSUNG 840 EVO Solid State Hard Drive Review

<![CDATA[Samsung is a company located in South Korea, and they are recognized as the one of the worlds biggest companies on Forbes (#20). They had a net income last year of billion dollars.  This is a nice cozy profit that leaves me to believe they will be around a while.
For this NT IT Tech review I will be presenting a Samsung solid state drive (model: MZ-7TE1T0BW). This would be great for playing games or rendering and editing videos. As you will find with gaming you really want the solid state drive to give you a edge up on the competition. This could also be great to hold your operating system. Also this hard drive can go with the ASUS Rampage IV Black edition (Review found here).

The tech specs:

  • Size: 1Tb
  • Speed: 540Mb/s (read) and 520MB/s (write). (Take note this is the sustained sequential read and write)
  • MFTB: 1.5 million hours
  • Three year warranty
  • 4Kb read/right: 98,000 IOPS and 90,000 IOPS respectively
  • use SATA III (compatible with SATA 6Gb/s, 3Gb/s, and 1.5Gbs)

All tech specs can be found here.
Through all my years of PC gaming I have never had to use more than one terabyte, but most people will agree that this is a perfect number. Also the read and write speeds are amazing for all the things you might need to do. The mean time before failure equals up to 171.119 years that number speaks for itself. If you are interested in buy this hard drive it can be found on Newegg.com for $556.
