manufacturing processes as well as more stringent
quality and testing standards. All Samsung SSDs
are designed and built completely in-house, rather
than sourcing generic parts from the market. The
Samsung SSD 840 PRO Series is optimized for
exceptional, sustained performance and unrivaled
reliability through its specially-engineered wear-
leveling and garbage collection algorithms and is
backed by a generous 5-year limited warranty.
Performance Sustainability
The Samsung SSD 840 PRO provides the same
excellent performance throughout its entire
lifetime and under extremely heavy workloads. In
fact, the sophisticated MDX controller is capable of
maintaining peak performance under punishing
conditions for more than twice as long as the
nearest competitor.
Unrivaled Performance
The Samsung SSD 840 PRO is a high-performance
SSD designed for power users. Capable of
delivering up to 100,000 IOPS Random Read
Speed and 540MB/s Sequential Read Speed, it is
an SSD of unrivaled high performance. Even better,
the advanced MDX controller delivers these speeds
regardless of data type, unlike some competing
controllers that greatly favor compressible data.
