Zitat: Pro: + Available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities + Excellent read speeds + Performs equally well with compressible and incompressible data + Consistent speeds, even after intensive usage + Good looking, ultra-slim design + SATA 6Gb/s interface + Toggle NAND flash + 256MB DDR2 SDRAM cache + Supports TRIM, SMART, garbage collection and wear leveling + Software bundle includes SSD Magician, Norton Ghost and Batman: Arkham Asylum + Available as part of a notebook or desktop installation kit + Reasonably priced + 3 year warranty Contra: - Slower than other drives when doing random writes Samsung´s 830 Series is a worthy alternative to the myriad of "SandForce Driven" SSDs on the market today. Instead of using off the shelf components, Samsung has designed and built everything, including the MCX controller, Toggle Mode NAND flash and DDR2 SDRAM cache, entirely in house. The end result is an attractive, ultra-slim drive with good, all around performance. In our sequential read and write tests, the 128GB version of the SSD 830 was able to read at speeds as high as 547 MB/s and write at speeds in excess of 320 MB/s. The drive´s performance wasn´t nearly as impressive when doing random writes. However, it performed equally well with compressible and incompressible data and was able to sustain these speeds, even after intensive use. The 830 Series also ships with an excellent software bundle and is available by itself or as part of a user-friendly installation kit. The 830 Series is available now in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB capacities. Prices on Amazon.com currently range from $123 up to $800, with the 128GB desktop installation kit reviewed here going for about $200. You can save about $15 by buying the standalone drive . However, if you´re truly on a budget, the Plextor PX-128M3S may be a better choice as it can be picked up for around $160. 

Zitat: + Top-Performance + Sehr gutes P-/L-Verhältnis - Etwas hoher Stromverbrauch unter Last

Zitat: The Samsung 830 Series 128GB SSD has some very strong features going for it. The drive is capable of delivering very good read performance, something you want in a consumer drive. The write performance on the other hand still has some issues that we simply can´t overlook.

Zitat: Pros: + Class leading IOPS Scaling and overall IOPS performance + Very good write speeds with non-compressible data + Competitive cost/GB, especially in higher capacities (see below) Cons: - 3-year warranty is good, but beaten by the Intel 520´s 5-year rating - Possible high power consumption figures reported with the 512GB model We tested the 64, 128, and 256GB capacities of the Samsung SSD 830 Series, and all were an absolute breath of fresh air. Reads and writes were great, and IOPS performance was nothing short of outstanding. The Samsung engineering team is to be congratulated for a product line that is likely to become the new standard for others to aspire to reach.
