5.0 out of 5 stars Il miglior upgrade che ho mai fatto
Reviewed in Italy on July 27, 2017
Ho aspettato anche troppo tempo per recensire questo SSD con memorie di tipo TLC, dopo 3 anni dall'acquisto posso dire di aver dato nuova giovinezza al mio pc che aveva una configurazione vecchia ed ormai stanca.
Dapprima con i vecchi HDD ogni anno dovevo formattare perchè ci metteva minuti ad avviare il desktop, potevo bere un bicchier d'acqua e fare altro che nel frattempo ancora doveva caricare. Con questo Samsung 840 EVO da 250GB in 25 secondi sono già pronto ad usare i miei programmi.
La velocità di lettura e di avvio dei programmi è istantanea!

Al giorno d'oggi il sistema operativo e le principali applicazioni vanno assolutamente installate su un SSD, e questo modello è stato il mio primo successo, se si riesce a trovarlo ad un prezzo minore dei 150 è un buon acquisto. Dopo 3 anni Hard Disk Sentinel mi dà prestazioni al 100% e Stato di salute al 95%, consumo dovuto probabilmente al fatto che ho sempre almeno un browser aperto nel pc (Firefox è molto avido di risorse e di continue riscritture nella cache), con questo andamento l'SSD durerà 60 anni! Le prestazioni sono ancora ottime e non ho mai formattato (allego foto dei risultati di Magician).

Il prodotto è arrivato insieme ad un altro acquisto nel solito ottimo imballaggio di Amazon in pochi giorni (abito in sud Italia), la confezione piccola ma funzionale contiene SSD, manuale e certificato di Garanzia, purtroppo senza nessun accessorio infatti manca un cavo SATA, magari di Samsung sarebbe stato un plus. Ottima la Garanzia fino a 3 anni.

Negli anni sono stati risolti i bug software che facevano rallentare la velocità di lettura di questi SSD diminuendo le prestazioni (cosa difficilmente verificabile nell'utilizzo medio giornaliero ma tramite software di bench o su Magician).

Ottima la dotazione software di Samsung con il suo Magician (ora arrivato alla versione 5.0.0 per questo prodotto), che offre le sue ottimizzazioni per migliorare le prestazioni senza intevenire manualmente sul S.O., in 3 anni ho visto almeno 2 aggiornamenti del firmware del disco. Sul sito del produttore è presente anche Samsung Data Migration che permette il clone del vostro S.O. per essere subito operativi, anche se io ho voluto provarlo installando Windows 7 da zero ed i primi avvii erano entusiasmanti, in meno di 20 secondi era già avviato, incredibile se si pensa che gira su una piattaforma socket 775 che supporta solo il SATA2 ed un vecchio processore quad core!

PRO:
- ottime prestazioni, ormai superate dai nuovi SSD installabili tramite PCI, ma ottimo per vecchie configurazioni essendo retrocompatibile con SATA2 e SATA1;
- Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo oggi non si trova più a quel prezzo;
- Nessun rumore, consumi e temperature basse;
- Estetica curata, ottimo anche come disco portatile;
- Nessun problema con urti e vibrazioni, gli SSD non soffrono di tale problema, solo un naturale consumo delle celle che comunque durano decenni con utilizzo casalingo.

CONTRO
- Assenza di un cavo SATA;
- Velocità nella media rispetto ad altri prodotti della stessa fascia e usciti successivamente;

E' stato un ottimo acquisto per me, lo consiglio a patto che lo troviate ad un buon prezzo, comunque tiene anche il valore per una rivendita successiva! Acquistate senza paura!
