WEBVTT 00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:16.080 welcome to my unboxing and first look at the Samsung 840 Pro Series SSD so moving 00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:20.439 right along to what makes the 840 Pro special Three core MDX controller now 00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:26.119 this okay so this is a part of what makes Samsung special on a bigger level 00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:28.679 is the fact that Samsung is the only one 00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:33.760 who actually designs and manufactures their own s SD I was about to say STDs 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:40.440 they design and manufacture STDs no they don't do that um they own ssds from top 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:42.360 to bottom everything from the controller 00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:46.559 they design and manufacture it to the RAM they design and manufacture it to 00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:52.520 the flash which they design and manufacture to the firmware which they 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:55.760 design and code and replicate 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.160 manufacture um everyone else is relying 00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:02.440 on someone else on a hardware level or on a software level 00:01:00.559 --> 00:01:09.560 next thing here is they're using toggle ddr2 Nan flashmemory toggle DDR 2.0 Nan 00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:12.640 flash memory okay lpddr2 SD RAM cach 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.920 memory AES 256bit encryption is built in 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:21.640 which basically means that they take whatever password that you've created for your SSD Reiger it 14 times and make 00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:25.479 it pretty darn difficult to crack so you can set that up on a BIOS level to make 00:01:23.479 --> 00:01:28.200 sure that whoever gets your computer is not actually going to be able to access 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:31.840 any of your data they'll still be able to format the drive but they won't able 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:35.759 to actually read anything on there without some pretty serious hacking 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:39.320 tools next up we've got their magician software which is basically a toolkit of 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:43.840 software that allows you to do performance optimization so you can 00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.880 manually trim the drive you can uh do 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:52.079 like a simple Benchmark you can secure erase it you can still good because ssds 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.719 are shock resistant um you can do firmware updates so all that stuff that 00:01:54.119 --> 00:02:00.960 you'd expect from an SSD toolkit this particular drive has a 5-year warranty 00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:06.960 so the pro drive is positioned above the regular 840 it does use mlc Flash which 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:12.160 is basically two bits per cell compared to uh three bits per cell on the regular 00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:15.959 840 they do use the same controller technology however so the main 00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:21.319 difference is in the flash being used and that's another one of the reasons why Samsung gives this one a 5year 00:02:19.519 --> 00:02:25.840 warranty versus the three-year warranty on the 840 because they are expecting 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:32.280 that mlc flash to put up with an Enthusiast level usage pattern for well 00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:35.879 at at least 5 years and my typical observation is that when a manufacturer 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:39.879 gives you a three-year warranty they are expecting it to last more like six to 00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:44.239 eight years when they give you a 5-year warranty they are expecting it to last 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:48.159 longer than that because I mean I can tell you guys right now based on how 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:52.519 much margin there is and something like flash and RAM and controllers and 00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:56.800 everything that's in here they cannot afford to 5 years from now be replacing 00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:01.000 all of them it doesn't work that way they can afford to be replacing a very 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:04.120 very very small percentage of them one of the other luxuries that Samsung 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:07.319 enjoys because they manufacture everything that goes in the drive is 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:12.680 that they can kind of save the best for themselves so Samsung sells flash 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:16.879 Samsung sells RAM to other guys to manufacture ssds but it's all about 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:20.480 binning so if you guys understand the binning process you know that what 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.879 Samsung's doing is they're manufacturing like a butt ton of Flash and then 00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:28.120 they're going to go okay well this is the grade A stuff this is the Grade B 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:33.920 stuff grade C and that stuff's going to go in like USB thumb drives or whatever 00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:35.720 else like that um and this is the like 00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:38.480 other stuff that we're just going to put over here and then put that in our own 00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:44.120 products don't worry about it don't worry about it customers we got this we got this one so I think that pretty much 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:49.200 covers it the 840 Pro if you have missed any of it that I said so far is about as 00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:52.760 fast as it gets for an SSD today SAA 36 gbit per second it has a super fast 00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:58.920 controller it's capable of something ridiculous like it's a 100,000 iops um 00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:03.640 on yeah reads up to 100,000 iops and writes up to 90,000 iops so those are 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:08.599 random um has a 5year warranty did I say that 00:04:06.239 --> 00:04:11.599 already something about STDs don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for 00:04:10.000 -->
