Samsung Release World’s First 1 TeraByte (1TB) Solid State Drive

17th December 2013

As modern computing becomes increasingly mobile, thinner, lighter, laptops have become the number one choice for those looking to get serious work done on-the-go.

The new wave of ‘MacBook Air’ style laptops are lighter to carry than ever before – without compromising on the performance expected of a traditional desktop PC. However, in order for laptops to continue to become increasingly smaller, the technology inside these ultra-portables needs to follow suit. Samsung have taken that concept, of miniturizing components, further than any of their competitors and have produced some pretty impressive new technology, sure to keep ultra-portable notebook fans very happy indeed!

Introducing…
Samsung 840 EVO – The world’s first 1TB mSATA solid-state drive (SSD).

SATA based SSD’s generally are much smaller than mechanical SATA drives and mSATA technology pushes those advancements further, resulting in yet smaller drives, roughly 75% thinner than normal SATA drives (according to Samsung).

Samsung claims the 840 EVO has read/write speeds of upto 540 and 520 MB/s respectively, with a height & thickness of just 3.85mm and weighing in at only 0.02 pounds. The 840 EVO comes with 256-bit AES Encryption too, and is available now in 120GB, 240GB, 500GB and (the world first) 1TB flavours.

If you’re laptop is running out of storage and you fancy an upgrade – the new Samsung 840 EVO range could be for you.
