| ET Deals: Samsung 840 Evo 750GB SSD For $360 |
With the price of storage plummeting globally, gone are the days where you have to pay a fortune for a decent sized SSD. With today’s discount, you can now get a whopping 750GB of SSD storage at an average price of just $0.48 per GB, the lowest price we’ve seen for a quality SSD of this capacity.
Upgrading to an SSD from an HDD remains one of the easiest ways to increase the speed of any machine, as the lack of moving parts results in faster boot times, quicker data access, and increased durability. Samsung claims this model will perform roughly ten times faster than a standard HDD, so you’ll certainly notice the difference. At this capacity you won’t need to fiddle with storing the OS and system files on the SSD and confining your bigger storage to a larger HDD, a welcome simplification.
Samsung touts their new TurboWrite technology in this model, which pushes the sequential write speed to 520MBps — a significant jump over what was offered in the previous 840. Sequential read speeds are also a robust 540MBps and random reads check in at 98K IOPS, so overall performance will be fast. The Evo 840 features the newest Samsung MEX Controller, DDR 2.0 NAND Flash and better firmware than the previous 840.
Other notable features include AES 256-bit full disk encryption and up to 50 minutes of extra battery life compared to a standard hard drive. Samsung also bundles data migration software and tools to monitor and manage your SSD.
Samsung covers their drive with a 3-year warranty, so you won’t have to worry about that expiring after just a year or two. With today’s savings, right now you can pick up this large SSD for the lowest price we’ve seen yet.
Samsung 840 Evo 750GB SSD for $360. Total instant savings of $170.
