Samsung introduced terabyte SSD "for all"

SSD only recently seemed to be expensive exotic, accessible only to the “elect”, so to speak. In fact, not very reliable drives were sold at exorbitant prices, which frightened the average buyer’s hand. Now SSDs are equipped not only with elite models of laptops and desktop PCs, but also with medium-sized models, and even some budget notebooks / netbooks. Of course, SSDs are becoming more and more popular, which means they are more numerous, and therefore, more and more inexpensive. The other day, Samsung has introduced the SSD model range with volumes up to a terabyte. These drives are positioned as "SSD for all."

The model range is called SSD 840 EVO, and it was created using 10-nm class technology. This made it possible to make the new SSD model twice as fast as the previous generation of drives, with a write speed of 520 MB / s (this is about 250GB 840 EVO SSD). As for the younger model, 120GB 840 EVO SSD, here the write speed is 410 MB / s, which is three times faster than in the case of the previous generation SSD model of the same size.

As for the older model, 1TB 840 EVO SSD, the read / write speeds are also rather big, 540 and 520 MB / s, respectively. As for the cost of models, then all this is not as expensive as before. The price range is as follows: 120GB SSD - $ 109.99, 250GB - $ 189.99, 500GB - $ 369.99, 750GB - $ 529.99 and and 1TB - $ 649.99. New SSD will be available in August.

Of course, hard drives of similar volume are much cheaper in price, but they are far from being so fast. At Samsung, at the presentation of the new SSD model, it was reported that the future is with solid-state drives. Why? Well, SSDs are thin and light, they can be embedded in many form factors of mobile devices, netbooks, laptops. SSD is always ready to work, consumes less than the hard drive, energy, has no moving parts.

As if everything is logical and understandable. It remains only to wait until the cost of SSD is still compared with the price of capacious hard drives.
