[HEXUS]

The new 7mm thick drives will be available in capacities up to 1TB.

This certainly shoots down the Micron news that they have just developed a 16nm NAND flash chip if Samsung are now on 10nm!!

[Lil-Diabo]

I just bought myself a SSD, will be curious to see how much this sells for.
Excellent specs for sure

[3dcandy]

Maybe that 120 gig boot drive is a good idea now...

[cinemania]

sure made my pc feel new.. but id be careful with imports.. got mine from drivehut.co.uk to make sure mine came from a UK supplier.. not the cheapest, but certainly the safest.. plus they answer my emails. still a bit weird not hearing my pc loading anymore.

[Kumagoro]

It's 10 nm class so probably 19nm.

[kawauso]

So is this actually better or worse than the 840 Pro?

[minicale]

Doesn't seem much better then the 840 pro well at least in read/write speeds and iops.

[3dcandy]

smaller drives seem better though (120gig for example) in all benchmarks

[MrJim]

It uses 'TLC' NAND like the 840 (non-pro), so I'm not sure the performance will be all that great. Still, we'll have to wait & see. I do like the idea of having a 1TB SSD

[stevie lee]

so with it being all in-house and made by Samsung. does that mean they've cut out supplier costs and therefore it'll be cheaper? can only hope.

although they've probably spent more on r&d costs for the NAND so the cost will stay the same or go up


and 1TB is still not enough for my games drives, will just have to get 2 when I come to upgrade
