The must-have solution for
your PC upgrade
The evolution of the SSD has arrived as the
Samsung SSD 840 EVO with more speed, more
reliability and much easier upgrade tools.
Combining the best SSD technology from
Samsung, 840 EVO delivers a superior
computing experience.
Faster performance for everyday use
The market-leading 840 Series SSD was
significantly improved upon in the 840 EVO.
Samsung’s new TurboWrite technology delivers
dramatically faster sequential write performance.
And, with upgrades to NAND, a new controller
and firmware, the 840 EVO has superfast
responsiveness under everyday workloads.
Proven quality and trusted reliability
Samsung’s unparalleled end-to-end integration
allows us to deliver a reliable, high-performance
2nd generation 3-bit MLC SSD. The upgraded
firmware and advanced signal processing
guarantees the same level of endurance and
reliability as our previous generation, while
improving performance. The 840EVO’s ultra-low
power consumption helps extend laptop battery
life longer than before.
In addition, Samsung’s “Dynamic Thermal Guard”
algorithm in 840 EVO maintains optimal
operating temperature for the drive.
Samsung 840 EVO is backed by the same 3-year
limited warranty as the previous generation.

Easier-than-ever upgrade tools
As SSDs become more main stream, it is
important to make the installation process as
smooth and simple as possible. Samsung’s Onestop Installation Navigator is a comprehensive
guide for software setup, data migration process
and hardware installation. The Samsung Data
Migration software is simple to use - yet provides
a very powerful “Custom Cloning” feature that
makes migration work even when source data is
greater than the SSD’s capacity. In addition,
SATA to USB 3.0 connector makes data
migration up to three times faster than USB 2.0
for laptop upgrades*. Together, it is now easier
than ever to get setup and running with
Samsung SSDs.
(*SATA to USB 3.0 connector is bundled only with Laptop
Upgrade package)
More Powerful Data Security
Solutions
The Samsung SSD 840 EVO introduces two
important features for data security: hardwarebased AES 256bit Full Disk Encryption (FDE) and
PSID. Hardware-based AES Encryption helps
safeguard data against attack by encrypting all
information on the disk at the hardware level,
which means there is no detrimental effect on
performance.
When you forget your SSD security password,
PSID protects your data on the drive by
executing a cryptographic erase which returns
the drive to its factory status, preventing any
unauthorized access to your data.
A complete, user-friendly
Samsung Magician Software
Magician eliminates the confusion and
uncertainties of SSD management, making it
simple for users to maximize the performance
and lifetime of their Samsung SSD. In addition to
its performance optimization features, Magician
(from the version 4.2) also provides 840 EVO
users the option to enable RAPID mode (Realtime Accelerated Processing of Input-output
Data) – an innovative performance
enhancement that processes data on a system
level by using free DRAM memory as a cache.
Once enabled in Magician, RAPID mode provides
an overall PC performance boost.
solution
With a wide range of capacities from 120GB to
the spacious 1TB, the 840 EVO will help you find
the perfect SSD for your PC upgrade. And,
Samsung’s 1TB drive is a real 1,000GB of useraddressable capacity.
The Samsung SSD 840 EVO is available in three
packaging configurations: Basic (Drive only),
Laptop Upgrade and Desktop Upgrade kit. The
Laptop Upgrade kit comes with a SATA to USB
3.0 connector and a mounting spacer. The
Desktop Upgrade kit includes a SATA to USB 2.0
connector, a SATA data cable, screws, a 2.5” to
3.5” adapter bracket.
