2. SSD (Solid State Drive) Overview
Solid State Drives, or SSDs, are innovative data storage devices that deliver high
performance, reliability, and quality by using NAND Flash memory instead of the
magnetic disks used in traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). SSDs provide very
fast PC booting and application loading speeds and perform exceptionally well
in multi-tasking environments – all while consuming less power, emitting very
little heat, producing no noise, and oering outstanding stability compared to
conventional HDDs. Please visit www.samsung.com/SSD for more information
on SSD technology.

3. Precautions
Injury or product damage may occur if the following guidelines are not
followed.
Handling Precautions
1 Shock
2 Short Circuit
3 Disassemble/
Damage/
Removal
SSDs are built to withstand shock and vibration and can protect data with
greater safety than conventional HDDs. However, please protect the product
against severe shock. Excessive shock may damage SSD components and may
also cause hardware detection failures or operational failures when installed in
your PC. In addition, severe shock may open or break the SSD cover.
Please keep metal objects out of the SATA interface circuit. The SSD may
short circuit if the SATA interface comes into contact with a metal object or
is exposed to electric shock. This may cause hardware detection failures or
operational failures.
Please do not disassemble the SSD, damage the SSD, or remove the sticker or
the label axed on the product. Any product that has had its case opened or its
label damaged or removed shall not be covered by the warranty.

Installation Precautions
1 Please ensure that the PC power is turned OFF and the power cable is unplugged
before removing the PC cover to install the SSD. Serious damage may occur
if an HDD is removed or an SSD is installed while the PC power is turned on.
Even though many PCs and storage devices support SATA’s Hot Plugging (Hot
Swapping) feature, Samsung strongly recommends that you turn the PC power
OFF before starting the installation process.
NOTE: Hot Plugging (Hot Swapping) allows changing storage devices while the PC
power is turned on.
2 If an existing SATA HDD is being replaced with an SSD, you can use the existing
SATA interface cable and SATA power cable. If the SSD is being newly installed
to your desktop PC, then you should prepare some necessary items, such as a
SATA interface cable, SATA power cable, 3.5 inch adapter bracket, screws, etc. If
the SSD is being installed in your laptop PC and you would like to perform a Data
Migration, please prepare a USB to SATA adapter cable. If you purchased an 830
series with an installation kit appropriate to your system type (desktop/laptop),
the necessary items will be included in the box.
3 A SATA interface cable that is longer than 1 meter may result in hardware
detection failures or operational failures.
NOTE: SATA cables are compatible with all SATA interface types (SATA 1.5 Gb/s, 3Gb/s,
and 6Gb/s).
4 Please check the terms and conditions of your PC manufacturer’s warranty since
it may prohibit the user from disassembling the PC and self-installing the SSD.
5 This SSD 830 Series is designed, manufactured, and certied for general desktop
PC and laptop PC environments for use as a primary or secondary storage drive. It
is not intended or allowed to be used in enterprise server systems, workstations,
storage systems, PC cache memory or in any other manner. If you need SSDs for
such applications or environments (or for another scenario other than general PC
use), please purchase a dierent product made specically for such a purpose.
* Data Backup
Samsung Electronics does not warrant the data stored in the SSD and will not
be held liable for tangible/intangible damages associated with data restoration.
Therefore, please be prepared for the unexpected by backing up any important
data to another storage medium. You may use the full version of Norton Ghost
included with your SSD to accomplish this. Please refer to the quick manual on
the CD that came in your box and available online at www.samsung.com/SSD
for more information on this process.
* SSD Capacity
The actual capacity may dier from that indicated on the product label
depending on the drive formatting method, partitioning, and computer OS.
(1MB=1,000,000 bytes/1GB=1,000,000,000 bytes).
