I was looking for an upgrade of my MacBook Pro for a long time and that is when I decided to look for some SSDs to boost the performance and I came across this SSD.
Two things that made me purchase this SSD was firstly the backward compatibility to 3 Gbps SATA port and then the price per GB, which boils down to around 49 Rs/GB.
Got this SSD in a well packaged box, when opened the box, the SSD is pretty much light as compared to the HDD.
Replaced this with the HDD and did the reinstall of the ...

I recently replaced the HDD in my 5 years old MacBook Pro with Samsung SSD.

The performance of the drive is upto the mark. 265MB/s read and 205MB/s write. These are lower than the published ratings since I am on SATA II. The performance difference is still quite significant. It's much more than when I upgraded from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Boot time has come down to under 30 seconds from 2+mins earlier. Applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, outlook open in less than 3 seconds.

There are many arti...

Replaced the HDD in my Dell laptop with this SDD about 4 months ago by following the procedure shown on You Tube. Did take a big risk of busting the laptop, but it was definitely worth it! The Laptop has got a new lease of life & is blazing fast now.

Definitely recommend for all those who want to get zippy performance from their PC / Laptop at a reasonably low price.

Very nice drive and for those who dont want to pay the extra for the Pro or evo version, this will do just as well. Honestly, I dont see a great speed bump from using my older SSD (vertex 2), which has the read speed of about half of this model.

But the drive has been extremely stable of my 6 months of usage and the additional software, for transfer of data as well as the drive optimization works very well. This software is downloadable from the Samsung website.

Just install this drive in your laptop and see the boot time. You will be amazed by the super fast speed of this drive. Samsung and Intel make best SSDs. Go for it and if you have even bigger budget then go for Pro model of this drive which is even faster than this. For most of us non-pro is just enough.

Flipkart service is best as usual.

Awesome piece of hardware !!!
Switch from a HDD to an SSD was the best thing ever.
Installed Win 7 in under 6 mins !
Running 3 VMs like a breeze !!

A must buy if you wanna run heavy games or do a lot of development work with VMs

This SSD is really fast. This is my first SSD and I will never look back to HDD for primary disk. The magician software available in website is pretty good and set-up the SSD according to my needs. Pricing is also excellent compared to other SSDs.

Reliable,Secure and Third Fastest in Flipkart.

This Samsung SSD 840 250gb is the third fastest ssd now in flipkart(Beside Samsung SSD PRO and Corsair Neutron GTX) .

PRO

price, absolutely in flipkart it makes a difference 3K with ssd pro and over 6k with GTX currently .

1.It gave you a Performace better than SANFORCE based drive(it does not care whether you are reading 0% compressed file or 100%).All Sandforce drive have problem reading with Uncompressed file like vedios,images etc even ...

The packet I received was unimaginably light. Before installing or even buying there are certain things you need to get straight, mine is a 4 year old rig, so I confirmed my mobo had AHCI, kowledge of BIOS settings. Unfortunately what you get is just the "magician software" you need to download the "Data Migration"software from samsung site (similar to Norton Ghost). The programme works like a charm, copy your disk, reboot, change boot settings, and you are good to get 7.7/7.9 in windows expe...

The use of the TLC tech means that this is not the fastest SSD around, but bear in mind:

1) The TLC tech is what makes the value per GB so much better than any other SSD.

2) Even though it isn't going to break any performance records compared to other SSDs, when compared to even a fast 7200rpm HDD it just doesn't really matter; this drive will leave spinning disks in the dust and it does so affordably.

I'm very happy with it. It's a bit too early for me to judge its reliability, but after ...
