Samsung 470 Series 256GB review

 

Samsung is well placed to offer solid-state drives as upgrades for end-users' computers. The Korean company is one of the world's largest manufacturers of NAND flash, as well as running huge semiconductor fabs and can thereby engineer its own...

The Samsung 470 Series SSD in 256GB capacity is a reasonably well-rounded SATA 3Gb/s drive that should certainly prove a great upgrade for any generation of notebook or desktop PC. It’s not so compelling for bleeding-edge enthusiasts, where its...

Samsung 470 Series 256GB SSD Review

 

We take a look at one of Samsung's 470 Series SATA 2 - 3Gbps Solid State Drives and find out whether it can hold up well against the opposition.

Solid performance throughout ; Good build quality ; 3 years warranty

Same price as SATA 3 SSDs

Although SATA 2 has been superseded by SATA 3, many consumers are facing the problem of cost - in similar fashion to when SATA 2 first launched. Naturally, as new tech arrives its predecessor product pricing will drop. Thankfully the price of SATA 2...

Samsung SSD 470 Series (128GB)

 

Samsung makes an impressive commercial SSD debut with its 470 Series drives.

Delivers performance comparable to higher-end drives.

Does not support 6Gbps SATA.

Samsung 470 Series 256 GB Solid State Drive Review

 

Although the market is already under the great impression from the new SSDs with SATA-600 interface, we shouldn't forget about the great time-tested products supporting older interface version, which offer excellent performance and therefore are a...

The 256MB SSD from Samsung’s 470 series is quite a surprise to us. One might think that the market is ruled by Intel’s products or by SSDs based on SandForce controllers but that's not true. Some manufacturers have got something up their sleeve such as...

Samsung's 470 Series solid-state drive

 

Samsung makes quite a lot of different products. Their name is emblazoned on the plasma television that sits in my living room, my girlfriend's cellphone, and my sister's camcorder. The electronics giant also builds our favorite terabyte hard drive...

In the realm of solid-state drives, Samsung's 470 Series is unique. It's the only one we've seen with Toggle DDR NAND, and the first SSD to hit our labs with dual cache chips. Throw in a fresh controller with potential ARM cores under the hood, and...

Samsung 256GB 830 Series SSD

 

Great performance - I use a lot of SSDs and this is as good as anything else I've used. Reasonable price considering performance and power/weight saving Easy to install

Bundled migration software (Norton Ghost) is beyond terrible. Couldn't get it to work at all - it failed miserably every single time I tried, and so used 3rd party tool which worked first time! I won't let this detract from the score, as the drive is...
