The editors liked

  • Top drawer components used
  • Astonishing sequential read/write results
  • Consistently strong performance
  • RAPID Mode doubles performance
  • Magician software is very useful
  • Great performance
  • One of the best £/GB of any SSD on the market
  • Robust “metal” casing

The editors didn't like

  • SATA converter required if no mSATA port
  • Tip = Install Magician 4.2+ and use RAPID mode for better transfer performance
  • 3 year warranty not as much as some brands are offering
  • 1TB SSD is still much more expensive compared to mechanical drives

  • Starting with the design and build quality of the Samsung Evo mSATA drives we have a range of units which stick to the mSATA form factor for size and then pack the PCB with high quality components. That starts with the latest revision of the controller Sa...

  • Small mSATA form factor, Equipped with 3-bit 3D V-NAND, Available in 120GB, 250GB, 500GB and 1TB capacities, Features RAPID mode and TurboWrite technology, Excellent sequential read and write speeds under most conditions, Good random read and write perfor
  • Write speed drops when TurboWrite buffer is full, RAPID mode is Windows only
  • The mSATA version of the Samsung's popular 850 EVO SSD is finally here and, like the original, it delivers a lot of bang for your buck. Designed and built entirely in-house, the 850 EVO mSATA is based on Samsung's MEX/MGX controller and is available with ...

  • After looking into this potential slow down issue, we are left with more questions than answers. Some SSDs appear to have returned to full speed and stayed there regardless of how long stale data was present. Others appear to be slowing down over time, bu...

  • There is always some doubts regarding the reliability of Samsung 3-bit MLC compared to the 2-bits MLC. The misconception is that TLC NAND based SSD are not reliable due to the 3 bits per cell. The keyword is reliability. TLC has a lower endurance compared...

  • Great Overall Performance, RAPID Mode Option, Competitively Priced
  • TLC NAND Technically Not As Durable as True MLC
  • The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA Solid State DriveWe liked Samsung's 2.5” SSD 840 EVO series of solid state drives when we reviewed them a few months ago, and the mSATA versions are just as attractive, which is no surprise given their similarities. Performance i...

  • Last summer, we got our hands on Samsung's 840 EVO and tested, and tested, and tested. There were some new technologies in play, some of which had a big impact on the benchmarks we were running. But once we wrapped our heads around the performance numbers...

  • Up to 1TB capacity, Core components all made in-house, Low power consumption
  • TLC NAND might concern some buyers

  • I would say the biggest market for mSATA drives right now is DIY upgrades to Ultrabooks and other laptops with existing mSATA SSDs (or in some cases there's an empty mSATA slot). One of the most common complaints I hear about Ultrabooks is their limited s...

  • Samsung has gone the extra mile with their new line of mSATA SSD's. From extra large storage capacities, to exceptional transfer speeds to features that are uncommon in other mSATA SSD's. The Samsung 840 EVO mSATA is well deserving of our Editor's Choice ...
