Using identical EVO technology to the 840 EVO 2.5-inch SSD, 840 EVO mSATA has the same fast sequential and random read and write speed for every task. Samsung's 3-bit MLC NAND flash memory stores data more efficiently, increasing both speed and reliability. Whether it is a heavy workload like video file editing or a simple task like a virus scan, 840 EVO mSATA runs every job smoothly and quickly. Multitasking is a simple job for this SSD, so users can edit media-rich documents while checking constantly changing data.
Also, with Samsung's innovative TurboWrite technology, 840 EVO mSATA dramatically boosts the sequential write rate. The drive's random read rate for light workloads (QD1) is 10,000 Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), the best in the industry. To improve system-level performance, users can turn on the RAPID mode on Samsung Magician software to use the PC's free DRAM as a cache. With the installation of the high-performing Samsung SSD 840 EVO mSATA, the computing work environment is taken to a whole new level of performance.

There's no need to be concerned with sacrificing capacity for a conveniently thin form factor. Though small in size, the 840 EVO mSATA is big on capacity. Boasting the same capacity options as the larger 2.5-inch 840 EVO but much thinner (2.75 mm / 0.11 in.) and lighter (8.5 g / 0.3 oz.), it's the smart choice for ultra-thin laptop PCs. With a wide range of capacities, from a basic 120GB to the spacious 1TB – the only true 1TB capacity SSD around – 840 EVO mSATA offers the perfect SSD for the customized needs and workforce environments of users. With ample sizes up to 1TB, 840 EVO mSATA satisfies extensive storage needs of both individual power users and enterprises. Plus, 840 EVO mSATA gives the real 1TB drive running inside the computer rather than the 960GB SSDs previously labeled as "1TB drives." Built for performance and reliability, Samsung SSDs are the best choice for BTO techs' customers and enterprise employees.

The computing environment is getting more mobile than ever before, and when laptop users are on the move, the last thing they want to have happen is to run out of power during a meeting or while gaming and search for an outlet to plug their laptops in. With Samsung 840 EVO mSATA installed, they can stay connected longer and power up faster because of the Device Sleep (DEVSLP) feature. The laptop no longer needs to go into standby mode to conserve battery life, nor is there any wait time for it to power back on. Laptop users can take full advantage of their AOAC (always on always connected) lifestyle, whether at work or play.

When a laptop PC is taken on the road, it exposes the corporate or personal information to new vulnerabilities. But there is no need to worry, because 840 EVO mSATA's Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) security technology will help keep data safe at all times. The drive includes an AES 256 Bit hardware-based encryption engine to ensure that personal files remain secure, even if the laptop PC is lost. Because it is hardware-based, the encryption engine secures data without performance degradation that may be experienced with a software-based encryption. Also, 840 EVO mSATA is compliant with advanced security management specifications (TCG Opal and IEEE 1667) so that it can be managed by a security management solution and customized settings.

Samsung 840 EVO mSATA can handle almost any daily life or work situation, including shocks, vibrations and high temperatures. With its robust strength, 840 EVO mSATA boasts an incredibly long life expectancy and a very low failure rate due to Samsung's unique technologies, such as TurboWrite. What's more, for added confidence, Samsung offers a 3-year warranty.
The reliability of 840 EVO mSATA doesn't just include its physique. Equipped with Advanced Signal Processing, 840 EVO mSATA automatically corrects errors so there is less worry about data stability. Plus, the SSD's health status can be tracked with Samsung Magician software, a management utility designed to work with all, and only, Samsung SSD products. Samsung Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology (SMART) enables Samsung Magician to warn laptop users of any unforeseen errors before they occur, so they can be addressed before they become an issue.
In addition, Samsung's Dynamic Thermal Guard Algorithm in 840 EVO mSATA's firmware monitors the temperature of the SSD, preventing it from overheating. When the SSD is exposed to hot weather or extreme temperatures, the algorithm controls the SSD's power supply to keep it cool. Plus, with 840 EVO mSATA the laptop PC becomes lighter and more energy-efficient, making it easier to carry around.

Just as delectable dishes are made from the best ingredients, Samsung combines the finest components to create superior-quality SSDs. Samsung uses the best quality NAND flash memory chips from its own fabrication lines for SSDs. Only the chips with the highest quality, top performance and greatest longevity potential are selected for SSDs, the most demanding of memory applications. With all the components, including controller and DRAM, produced by Samsung, the quality of the SSD is assured. Advanced new firmware that optimizes how the components go together enables Samsung to serve up the right combination for the laptop PC's best performance and reliability. BTO techs and IT managers can choose first-class Samsung SSDs for their customers' and companies' laptops, which are built for performance and reliability.

When laptop users are immersed in work or their favorite video game, they might not notice that their PC is burning hot and struggling to keep up. With 840 EVO mSATA, the PC stays cool, even when it is sometimes overworked. 840 EVO mSATA includes Dynamic Thermal Guard protection, which monitors and maintains optimal operating temperatures for the drive. The throttling feature can drop the SSD's temperature when necessary to protect data and ensure the responsiveness of laptop PCs.
