00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:12.000
Corsair's Raptor line of quality gaming peripherals has the features you need to

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:17.199
win at a price you'll like click now to learn

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:19.760
more welcome to my long overdue unboxing

00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:26.080
of one of the most important ssds on the market this is the 840 Evo it is not the

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.320
fastest SSD it's not the cheapest SSD

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:31.840
but what it is is the complete package it's available in pretty much any Capac

00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:37.000
City 12250 5750 and 1 tbte they are all reasonably

00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:41.280
aggressively priced and because of some unique features that Samsung's

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:46.160
implemented extremely competitive performance-wise in spite of the very

00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:49.440
middling hardware specs so that's a bold claim lineus why would you say that and

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:52.359
the answer will come later on in the video after you sit and listen to me

00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:56.199
talk about other stuff so first up hardware specs they have Shrunk the

00:00:54.079 --> 00:01:01.280
manufacturing process down to we think 19 nanometer but they're calling it 1X

00:00:58.559 --> 00:01:04.119
class nanometers which means that prices have come down versus the last

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.960
generation product they are still using TLC Nan flash so that is 3 bit Percell

00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:11.479
mlc flash making the data densities

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:16.520
higher than what other guys who are using 2 bit percel mlc even in their

00:01:13.759 --> 00:01:20.880
entry-level drives are using but because Samsung has made some changes to their

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:26.200
already excellent MDX controller so it's now the Mex Three core controller they

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:31.439
are able to achieve great performance in spite of the inherently much slower

00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:35.880
right speeds that TLC flash has to work with so it's also got SATA 3.1 over SATA

00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.880
3 on the last generation product and they've added Hardware AES 256

00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:44.479
encryption so that's basically there see there's a code on the back of this drive

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:47.000
so that's basically a way to make it so someone's completely locked out of your

00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:52.640
drive unless they're willing to completely erase it so you can secure your data even from theft in the event

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:59.280
that someone actually gets your drive and they can't even put it in anywhere else and unlock it so endurance is of

00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.320
course the big thing people talk about with TLC flash because not only does it

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.479
write slower it also doesn't write as many times every SSD will die it

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.800
actually has a rated number of rights that will eventually kill it now most

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:15.680
ssds will actually last much longer than that rated right speed and you can see

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:21.440
they've done some extreme testing over on Extreme systems go figure they do extreme testing there I just don't think

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:25.400
it's that important even if it didn't last any longer than the rated number of

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:29.440
right Cycles you look at an excellent comparison by a NCH so that'll be linked

00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:35.879
in the video description huge a NCH fanboy over here if you guys didn't already know that they estimate that

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:40.720
even with a very aggressive workload these drives which are the consumer

00:02:37.720 --> 00:02:43.200
grade drives are going to be lasting for

00:02:40.720 --> 00:02:46.239
years depending on the capacity now the larger the capacity of the drive the

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:51.040
longer it's going to last to the point where you're looking at drives that are probably going to last for decades or

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:55.519
die from some other reason rather than die from being written to too many times

00:02:52.640 --> 00:03:00.560
and it should also be noted that ssds are much less likely to be damaged by

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:02.480
shock or any other kind of phys physical

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:08.000
you know demise that hard drives can meet because they don't have any moving

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:12.480
parts now let's get into that bold claim that I made about why this drive which

00:03:09.720 --> 00:03:18.080
has TLC flash you know a faster clocked Three core controller 400 MHz versus 300

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.560
MHz and you know otherwise isn't that

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:25.360
special is the drive to beat and three things turbo Rite rapid and their new

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:28.959
data migration to software so what turbo Rite is is a way of taking part of the

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:34.720
storage on the drive and it varies according to the Capac capity of your particular drive it goes up as you have

00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:39.319
more capacity and takes part of that TLC Flash and runs it in SLC mode so if

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:44.439
you're not familiar with SLC that means only one bit per cell all right so

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.959
that's even potentially faster than mlc back when that was the performance and

00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:52.680
long endurance one in mlc was the redheaded stepchild whereas now it's

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:56.840
high performance mlc and then TLC as the one that is you know perceived as less

00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:03.760
reliable and slower so what that means is that when the drive gets written to

00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:06.000
it fills up that that SLC behaving cash

00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:10.239
first then distributes that data to the rest of the drive at its Leisure that

00:04:07.640 --> 00:04:15.439
means that in real world terms the drive is faster unless you're doing a very

00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:20.000
long sustained right to it now reads are still fine on TLC flash so turbo Rite

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:24.400
has pretty much no drawback in a day-to-day usage scenario which is very

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.160
very cool you can enable it using Samsung's SSD magician software it's

00:04:26.960 --> 00:04:34.400
very fast very low latency but it does rely a again on non-continuous use so

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:37.560
again I'm in a non-tech fanboy guys and you can check out their excellent

00:04:35.919 --> 00:04:42.639
article on turbo right which is linked in the video description as well next up

00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:47.759
is rapid which stands for fast no actually it stands for Real Time

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:49.600
accelerated processing of IO Data and

00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:55.199
what rapid does is it allows you to take a gig of your Dam so that is your system

00:04:52.479 --> 00:05:00.440
memory and use that to cach the SSD now this one I'm not quite sure if I feel as

00:04:57.919 --> 00:05:04.639
you know uh completely POS POS about as I do about turbo Rite because it caches

00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:08.840
not only reads but also wrs which means that if your system does lose power in

00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:12.919
the middle of it caching something into memory this is not the same as caching

00:05:10.880 --> 00:05:16.880
to SLC flash which is still going to be there when the system reboots and the

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:21.560
power goes down memory is cleared when the power goes out so it can cause data

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:24.600
corruption but if you're running on a laptop or anything else that has a

00:05:22.880 --> 00:05:29.720
battery backup such as a desktop with a UPS and your system's very stable I

00:05:26.919 --> 00:05:33.000
wouldn't worry about it too too much so what it does is it takes up to a gig of

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:37.560
your system memory and allows it to operate many times faster than even the

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:41.880
fastest SSD can because it is effectively reading and writing out of

00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:45.800
RAM it's not the same as a RAM dis implementation because it's all

00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.479
completely uh it's all completely automated unlike RAM disk software which

00:05:48.080 --> 00:05:53.680
often requires a lot of manual intervention the next one up is data

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:57.479
migration 2 so what that allows you to do is say okay well I bought this new

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:01.360
SSD but I could only afford a 250 gig SSD and quite frankly the hard drive

00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:05.240
that I bought like four years ago is already 500 gigs and I've got all this

00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:10.039
data on it what am I supposed to do if I migrate it over what am I are all my

00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:13.479
videos and photos and songs just lost in The Ether the answer is no what data

00:06:11.599 --> 00:06:17.319
migration 2 does is it allows you to specify two Targets so you can clone

00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:20.680
your OS and all the important programs and stuff over to an SSD and then you

00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.479
can have a secondary hard drive that all your data goes to so it's actually

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.400
painless enough to use that even my mother can do it so we're going to do a

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:33.360
follow-up video on rapid the data migration 2 software as well as turbo

00:06:30.840 --> 00:06:38.840
that's going to be hosted by slick but basically without even watching that all

00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:40.720
you need to know is this drive just

00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:44.560
pretty much rocks thank you for checking out my unboxing and overview of the

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:47.599
Samsung 840 Evo don't forget to like this video if you liked it dislike it if

00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:51.000
you disliked it leave a comment if you have something to say to me how much did

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:55.240
Samsung pay you to make this video Believe It or Not sometimes I just like

00:06:52.880 --> 00:07:01.520
stuff and I'm allowed to do that and as always guys don't forget to
