Samsung SSD 830 512GB review
Samsung is one of the largest manufacturers of NAND flash in the world, so you'd expect a great performance from a Samsung solid-state drive. And there's no doubt that this new model, the latest in Samsung's consumer range of SSDs, certainly delivers. The Samsung SSD 830 makes significant improvements over last year's 470 models. Controller speed has been improved, and the SATA interface upgraded to the 6GB/s SATA 3.0. It comes in capacities ranging from the sub-£100 64GB model to this top-of-the-range 512GB drive. Two bundles are available: a Desktop Kit, featuring mounting brackets and cables, and this Notebook Kit with a useful USB interface for cloning your hard drive to the SSD before fitting. Read TechRadar's Samsung 830 SSD 256GB (Desktop kit) reviewIt's NTFS-formatted out of the box, so reformat it in Disk Utility before you start if you are installing to a Mac. Bundled migration software is Windows-only. Typically for an SSD, the Samsung 830 gives off almost no heat, is silent in operation and as it has no moving parts, makes smaller demands on your notebook's battery.
Samsung 830 Series 512GB SSD Review
Although a seemingly diverse array of SATA 6Gb/s SSDs have launched in recent months, virtually all of them are powered by the Marvell 88SS9174 or SandForce SF-2200 controllers. The former made its debut with the Crucial RealSSD C300 and has survived longer than anticipated, surfacing again in Crucial's m4 series. Intel also adopted it for its latest-generation products. Between those two drives, we favor the m4, but it's far from today's top contender. SandForce's second-generation controller got off to a rocky start. OCZ's Vertex 3 stormed out of the gates in April, seizing control of our performance graphs. Despite an impressive showing, early adopters reported many glaring bugs with SF-2200-based drives. Those claims sent OCZ and other manufactures scrambling to release a series of firmware updates. Fortunately, most of the major kinks seem to have been ironed out now and that's given even more vendors, such as Patriot and Kingston, the confidence to launch SandForce-flavored SSDs. Despite an increasingly saturated market, OCZ has maintained a stiff grip on the competition as it still offers the best performance versus price ratio of any SF-2200 SSD.
