About This Product
The Samsung 840 is a 120GB SATA III SSD, offering a significant speed upgrade over traditional hard drives for system responsiveness. While its read/write speeds are competitive for its generation, it uses TLC NAND without a DRAM cache, which can lead to performance degradation under sustained heavy writes compared to MLC-based SSDs or newer models. This drive is suitable for users seeking an affordable boot drive or a basic storage upgrade for older systems.
Verdict
“Good for basic system upgrades or as a secondary drive in older PCs.”
