Down on performance vs competitors
Still not as fast as the fastest Sandforce drives. Cost per gigabyte is very high
Bundled software Windows only

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's 830 is a late entry to the 6 Gb/s SSD market, but the company claims impressive performance. Can it unseat the incumbent SandForce-based drives? Let's just say this new offering shakes up the SSD world in a major way. Other vendors, beware. D...
There's a lot to like about the Samsung SSD 830. It's one of the few drives to be made entirely in-house, including all the NAND, SSD processor, RAM and firmware, which is a huge plus when it comes to host system compatibility and servicing any user c...
