In fact, a win ...

After some consideration, and the gathering of facts and key figures came the Samsung SSD - solution into consideration. It turned only briefly the question which version and size it should be.

The 840 Basic is only in writing slower than the Pro version and is in common use barely noticeable and negligible because still many times faster than a HDD ever could.

The value for money is really ok in the current situation. In two to three years we smile about it because the SSD is standard and then only a partial amount of the costs today are several times higher in capacity.

The control unit is highlighted positive in all test reports, as well as the manufacturing quality in general.
The tech. Top data and compared with other products, the 840 is low. Good and objective reviews and direct comparisons, there are quite currently in power.

There are also recognized free benchmarks (eg - AS SSD Benchmark does not have to be installed) to load in the network that can be used to verify the information.

The bundled software SSD Magician 3.2 is also useful for, among other things, but I hope that Samsung's software yet refined, the way is the right way. A software to migrate is not settled and the Norton Ghost verse. 15 is not to be considered as first choice.

Unfortunately, Samsung did not held simply to point out that there is a very good developed especially for this purpose software product in German from the house necessary - Samsung_Data_Migration_Setup_v1.2 - called the free software and is to be loaded via a special Samsung website ,

I take it from no point because it is about the pure power of the 840 Basic here.

It remains to be noted that from Windows 7 to use an SSD without problems is possible. Older operating systems are not necessarily useful, as is the use in very old mobile systems is not recommended.

Desktop devices are sure better off with a cheaper hybrid solution currently.

The 840 Basic has a hardware encryption AES 256 bit which can be activated via the BIOS.

I would buy Samsung SSD currently over again - because it is indeed very quickly and 2012 runs smoothly in operation on my Asus multimedia laptop, Windows 8 will start in about 11 seconds on programs Knopfruck- or pad / mouse almost delay starts and the MTBF: 1.5 million hours is (the value corresponds to that of professional products).

What is meant by MTBF mean time between failures of a product, ie the estimated life of a product before it fails.

I am satisfied with the purchase.
