On release of the Samsung 840 EVO SSD earlier this year, Samsung introduced a new ‘caching’ technology called RAPID Mode, a technology that could increase Samsung EVO SSD transfer speeds up to 1.2GB/s with absolutely AMAZING low 4K random write speeds as well. RAPID Mode could be enabled through the free download of Samsung’s SSD Magician and the initial release was disappointing to many 840 Pro SSD owners as RAPID was only compatible with the Samsung 840 EVO SSD. Our review of the 840 EVO was very impressive with RAPID Mode benchmark results as high as 1.1GB/s and transfer speed testing of ISO, program and game files in under 3 seconds.

SSDs have really come a long way over their short existence. From the meager 60MB/s reads to the 285MB/s read bandwidth found on the Vertex 2 you can see how the new Sandforce 1200 controller has improved SSD performance over SATA3.

It is difficult to position the new 840 series. It's not an entry-level product in terms of price, if you're looking for something affordable you're still better off with the Samsung 830. The 840 also isn't a high-end SSD, models such the Plextor M5 Pro, Corsair Neutron GTX and Samsung 840 Pro are much faster and don't have the potential disadvantage of the TLC chips during intensive use. It's not mid-range either, SSDs like the Corsair Neutron 240 GB or the OCZ Vertex 4 256 GB are both faster and cheaper. In other words, the 840 series will become interesting only when the price goes down quite a bit, lower than the current level of the 830.

In late October, Western Digital released a new version of its Caviar Black Edition hard disks. WD calls the new ones 'Caviar Black' like the original series, but promises better performance compared to the first version. We tested the 4TB model.

Avec son très performant X25-M, Intel est resté pendant très longtemps à la pointe du marché du SSD. Mais voilà, la concurrence a pointé le bout de son nez et a sonné le glas du X25-M. Intel se devait donc de réagir et l'arrivée du SATA 6.0 est l'occasion rêver pour nous livrer une nouvelle petite bête, le 510, que nous testons ce jour dans sa déclinaison 120 Go, et qui envoie théoriquement 450 Mo/sec en lecture et 210 Mo/sec en écriture.
