Samsung 830 Series 128GB Solid State Drive Review

When it comes in SATA 6GB/s solid state drives or solid state drives in general there are a few names that come to mind, OCZ, Kingston and Patriot are just a few but Samsung is not really one of the them.  For the consumer market Samsung gave us the 470 series drive and now they have entered the SATA 6GB/s segment with the 830 series.  What is interesting about this drive is that it uses Samsung’s own controller, NAND and DRAM.  Something we have not seen on any solid state drive that we have reviewed.  The 830 series has rated speeds of 520MB/s read and 320MB/s write.  Let’s see how this drive stacks up against other SATA 6GB/s drives that we have tested. @ ThinkComputers
