Samsung 840 pro or Samsung 840 EVO SSD?

Can anyone please help me decide which one of these is better?

The EVO has performed better in benchmark tests and is cheaper/GB, but there have been compatibility issues regarding performance in MBP's. See clintonfrombirmingham's response in this post >>>Can I upgrade my Hard Disk in MacBook Pro MD101 to Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB....Please advice
for example.
There have been many posts regarding issues with the EVO and MBP's.

  • Any known issues installing Samsung 840 EVO SSD in a T540p 20BE?

    After reading the "Hardware Maintenance Manual" for the Thinkpad T540p, and the installation guide for the Samsung 840 EVO SSD, this looks pretty straightforward.  But I thought I'd be careful and ask here if there are any pitfalls I should watch out for.
    I'm planning on using the Samsung Data Migration software to migrate everything from the old drive to the SSD. 
    Has anyone here installed one of these Samsung 840 EVO SSD's?  Is it as straightforward as it looks?

    Yes it is. Its wizard will guide you through the process, but just remember, that booting from your newly cloned drive, you must boot it from within your computer, not through an external USB connection.
    If that isn't working, you have done something wrong, but it's no problem as your original drive can be put back into the machine and the cloning program run again with different settings if required.

  • P700 with Samsung 840 EVO SSD

    Hello every one
    I just bought a new Think Station P700. Before installing Windows 7 I changed the build in Hard disk to a new Samsung 840 EVO SSD. The diagnostic is able to find the SSD and all tests are passed.
    Within the BIOS the SSD is not listed and when installing Windows 7 I’m not able to select the SSD.
    I tested the SSD by attaching it to another System and it works fine.
    How can I get this combination to work?
    If more details are required please let me know.
    Any helpful remarks or suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards

    Where is your SSD installed?  I need to know the specific port on the board.
    When installing win7 to the sSATA controller (i.e. red ports SATA 1, 2, 3, or 4) you need to provide the Intel RSTe driver.  The controller is not native to win7.  If you happen to have your SSD installed to a black port, these are legacy AHCI and those ports should be native to win7.  Installing to the red sSATA ports is recommended.
    With your win8.1 issue above, the only time I've seen messages like that (granted my German is a bit rusty) is when you have not deleted the existing partition on the drive.  You can try wiping out all the existing partitions on the drive and then installing the image.

  • Thinkpad S430 Samsung 850 EVO SSD support

    Hi I have replaced the original hard drive in my Thinkpad s430 with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD and done a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit Once its booted up its works perfectly, but I have terrible trouble getting it to boot reliably. I will often end up with "Attempting Automatic Repair" bootloop followed by blue screen of death with Unexpected I/O Error Error code 0xc00000e9 Sometimes entering the BIOS and then exiting again will get it to boot up successfully. I've tried everything I can download from Lenovo website latest BIOS update 2.60, lates chipset update, lates SATA/AHCI storage controller update etc. Most likely cuplrit I think is the SATA/AHCI controller driver QuestionsDoes anyone have a Samsung 850 EVO SSD running successfully as the internal hard drive in an S430?Are there any drivers or firmware updates that need to be applied to the Samsung Drive or the S430 to get the two to work reliably together? When my S430 does boot up with the SSD it takes about 2-3 minutes. The old hard drive which is ten times slower boots up to login screen in about 30 seconds. Need help please?

    Yes, you can.

  • Samsung 840 EVO SSD  slow in macbook Pro

    Hello Everybody.
    Some months ago I got from amazon the a 250 Gb ssd, samsung 840 Evo.
    Usign Black Magic I was impressed to see read/write speed about 450 MB/s.
    Lately, running Black Magic Speed test, I noticed that the results drop down to 30 MB/s.
    I just updated the ssd firmware and the result are almost the same (i think is going a lil better, but still dropping to 30-40 MB/s.
    I know there are some threads about this, but didnt get to have clear  is this normal, a faulty piece or what?
    Some more info:
    Trim Enabler ON.
    Free space from 50Gb-120 Gb (the results are almost the same)
    Macbook Pro 15" mid 2012, 2,3 GHz ,i7, 8GB ram.
    ssd firmware EXT0BB6Q (just updated)
    Even more info:
    Right now I have just Chrome opened, and I'm running some tests.
    The very first result go up to 480 Read and over 500 Write.
    Restarting the test sometimes the first results in Write dont go higher than 260 MB/s.
    Within 10-15 sec the write speed drops to 180 Write, then up again to 230-260 MB/s.
    Waiting  1-2 min It drops down to 100, then 80 to reach 30 MB/s (all this is Write speed, Read is almost  constant at 480-500 MB/s)
    Stress 5GB.

    Grant,
    I have been using the drive as a system drive for one year without enabling the TRIM, which I did yesterday. Are you suggesting that enabling TRIM does not remove the garbage filled blocks? Should I format the drive and proceed with a fresh install, or will the blocks clean with regular use?
    Put simply, when something is deleted on a HD, the OS understands that the space is now free and can be written to. SSD's do not understand that so the pages from which the file was deleted are considered still full of good stuff. The link I provided goes into some detail about what's involved in erasing SSD blocks so deleted files get moved along with the current files in the SSD erasure dance.
    TRIM is the way the OS informs the SSD that the space occupied by the deleted file really can be erased, and the SSD then acts on it. However, your SSD hasn't been directly notified about the year's worth of deleted data because TRIM wasn't activated to do it. The SSD's Garbage Collection process will get to that space eventually but it won't be as efficient as if TRIM was there to help.
    But since all the SSD's blocks have a finite life span, the less they're exercised by erasing, formatting and reinstalling stuff, the longer the SSD should last.

  • MSI GX660R with intel motherboard and compatibility with Samsung 840 EVO SSD

    Hi
    Im am new to this forum, so I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong section.
    I am considering to replace the hard drive in my MSI GX660R with a Samsung 840 EVO 250 gb ssd, since it has the best benchmark ratings and are very afordable. My laptop has an Intel motherboard with an i7 core processor.
    My question in relation to the upgrade is, whether the laptop is compatible with that excact ssd. I plan to run it in AHCI mode, since I have bad expirience with loss of data under RAID. If i chose to run the extra HDD as a secondary drive, it will therefore still be under AHCI.
    Can anyone refer me to some sort of compatibility list, or tell me if the above mentioned drive is compatible? I havent been able to find out myself, and MSI is farily difficult to get in contact with.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, your early 2013 Retina model uses 6.0 Gbps SATA but it's not a standard mSATA connection. You could upgrade using Transcend's JetFlash -> http://www.transcend-info.com/apple/jetdrive/ - to space up to 960GB, however.

  • MacPro 4,1 won't boot from Samsung 840 EVO SSD

    Hello,
    I've recently replaced the SSD in my MacPro4,1 system with a Samsung 840 EVO one. Before that I had an older OWC disk that worked fine.
    Did a fresh install and everything was fine until the first reboot when the system doesn't start from the SSD anymore. It stays a bit displaying the access denied icon (cycles a couple of times through the mac icon, which dissapears immediately, and the access denied one) and then it boots into Windows or Recovery (both of these are on a separate partition).
    Startup manager does not show the SSD in the list. Booting in Windows or Recovery however, the SSD appears in the list of devices that I can boot from. However it does not work.
    I managed to start it up by booting into Recovery first, doing a Repair Disk which shows at the end "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required." and then rebooting. This only works once, if I want to reboot again I have to do the Repair Disk bit again.
    Thanks,
    Andu

    Check to see if you have the latest firmware on the Evo

  • Samsung 840 evo ssd not recognized in macbook pro 2011

    Hello Apple Support Forum,
    I am trying to upgrade the hdd in macbook pro for ssd. I've formated the SSD in Mac format in another macbook air via USB, and installed the SSD in the main bay. However, after I booted using OS X mavericks usb drive, the OS X installer does not regonize the SSD. Can any one offer some adivce or suggestions? I am pretty sure that the disk is physically installed corrected in the mai bay.
    Thanks!

    biglizheng,
    have you checked to see if your SSD is recognized by your MacBook Pro externally, via USB? If it’s accessible externally, then you could run the Mavericks installer to do a clean install onto the external SSD. It will be slow, since it will be limited by your USB port’s transfer rate, but it should get the task done. Once the external installation process has completed, you can hold down an Option key while restarting your MacBook Pro, and it should list the SSD as one of the drives from which you can boot. If you can boot from it and run Mavericks from it, then the problem could be with your internal SATA cable rather than with the SSD. (HDDs can be more forgiving of faulty SATA cables than SSDs are, which could explain why it didn’t affect your HDD.)

  • [SOLVED] Samsung 840 Evo SSD poor performance

    I'm posting this as [SOLVED] just in case anyone else comes across this issue. This isn't a linux problem but it may affect linux users and the cause isn't obvious. Mods feel free to delete this topic but it may be useful for people searching in the future.
    Samsung have identified a problem with this model of SSD which causes data access to become slower over time. They have released a "Performance restoration tool" that upgrades the firmware and restores the performance of the drive (essentially by re-writing the data to it).
    The tool is available here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/ … tAodanEAIg
    As of today (27/10/2014) the tool is only for Windows but a linux version is due "At the end of October"

    I thought I'd already posted my experience, but I guess it's better late than never. I tried to update with the bootable cd.iso but the update failed with an error saying something like "I AM AN ERROR" which I found to be quite amusing. Luckily the error happened before starting the update process so nothing was broken. Next up was the FreeDos method mentioned by Slizzered and everything worked just fine. So just to play safe, go with the bootable usb stick method which has been confirmed to be working.

  • Samsung 840 Evo incredibly slow in MacBook Pro 2011

    I just got a brand new 250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD and put it in my MacBook Pro. The drive is incredibly slow. OS X install took hours, and it takes over a minute to boot up. Even small tasks like clicking a button take several seconds to process. I have enabled TRIM through terminal (which took about an hour) and still no better. Is this something that can be fix or should I get an RMA# from NewEgg?

    jeffturner24,
    older firmware revisions of the 840 EVO are known to be problematic on Macs. You can download the latest firmware package for it (and an instructional PDF) from this Samsung page; with this package, you can burn a bootable DVD from which the latest firmware revision can be installed.
    Another possibility is that you might have a faulty internal SATA cable. If you connect your SSD externally and boot from it then, and it runs at normal SSD speeds, but it remains incredibly slow when booting from it internally, that could point to a problem with your internal SATA cable. (Hard disks are more tolerant of a faulty internal SATA cable than SSDs are.)
    If neither step above resolves the issue, then you should arrange an exchange with Newegg.

  • Samsung SSD 840 EVO not detected in MacBook Pro 2012.

    Hello,
    In January I had a problem with my computer where it would overheat, the battery would die quickly, and the overall computer speed was slower than a turtle for even the most basic functions. I brought my computer to a MacMan retailer and they fixed the issue. I then got my MBP back and it worked fine for about a month. It then repeated the same symptoms it had before I got it fixed. I talked to my roommate and did some research and ended up purchasing the Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250gb to replace my Hard Drive.
    I transferred all my data to the new SSD and then installed the SSD to the internal bay where the hard drive sits without any problems. After the SSD was in place I booted up the computer and I got a "flashing folder with question mark." The SSD was not internally recognized by my computer. I then tried to put my Hard Drive back in to see if it would be recognized and it was not. However, both the SSD and Hard Drive are externally recognized via USB enclosure. I have been working on this for a couple days and am getting frustrated.
    I have tried a number of fixes I thought would surely work. I reformatted the SSD to the appropriate Mac format that every forum and website recommend: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that does not work. I have reinstalled OS X Yosemite, I have tried updating the SSD Firmware through USB. Nothing has worked yet. I have tried using Apple's internet recovery system and neither drive is recognized when inside the computer. My best assumption but least favorable is the Cable within the MacBook Pro that connects to the Hard Drive/SSD is faulty. I fear that it may be faulty since now neither the SSD or Hard Drive is detected when they are installed in the MacBook Pro, only when external.
    Can anyone please help me figure out what could be wrong? If you need more information just ask and I will do my best to answer them to your satisfaction. Anyone input, conclusion, or direction would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank You for your time and knowledge!

    You have already defined the probable cause, the internal SATA cable.  For verification, take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.  It is not an expensive repair, even if done by Apple.
    Ciao.

    SSD is brand new..out of the box never use it before... is working totally fine on my external enclosure.
    Great. Then problems with the SDD itself are far less likely.
    Yosemite installs fine and I can run normally.
    Good. then your Yosemite Installer is not damaged, and your SSD is probably good.
    As soon as I put it into the internal the Yosemite install just never finishes, time keeps restarting.
    I can see the SSD i can copy files but I can't install Yosemite.  what do think I can do??
    Then there is a problem with that setup. If you have installed onto it as an external, it is unlikely to be a Drive format problem. But to give yourself the best possible outcomes, use Disk Utility to erase the SSD before the Install.
    Be methodical. Use a process of elimination. What can you trust, and what are you not sure of?
    It still could be a marginal Drive cable. ifixit and other sellers can sell you a new cable for very little money.

  • Replacing my HDD in my Early 2011 Macbook Pro...Trying to decide between Samsung 840 EVO 250 gb and Crucial M500 240 gb. Samsung is faster but less "mac-friendly". Should I opt for the Crucial due to the "mac-friendliness"?

    I have a S.M.A.R.T error on my current Hitachi drive that came with me Early 2011 Macbook pro. Want to upgrade to SSD.
    Trying to decide between Samsung 840 EVO 250gb and Crucial M500 240gb, at this gb range, the Samsung is faster and uses less wattage....ONE PROBLEM...I have read many user experiences that note it is much less mac-friendly...
    The software samsung  offers is not IOS compatible and some report lower than expected speeds after installation...Also apparently the RAPID MODE of the drive, the fastest drive mode is nonexistant when installed on a Macbook pro?
    Should I opt for the slower and more power cosuming Crucial M500 240gb SSD because it is more Mac-friendly? Does anyone have a Samsung 840 EVO 250 gb SSD installed in their macbook pro? What has been your experience?
    Thanks ahead of time!
    Resoure: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crucial-m500-1tb-ssd,3551.html

    I decided against the Evo as there are too many Mac users that have had issues with slow speed on them. Even without these, the main speed that Samsung states for the Evo comes form turbo Write which is a PC only feature as is software dependent.
    I'm sorry but Crucials M500 is simply too slow compared to modern drives to be recomended. Read speed is ok, but the write is far too slow for the price.
    I've used and installed both a Samsung 840 basic and a Samsung 840 Pro in 2 separate Mac books! and currently have the 840 Pro in my own MacBook Pro and it comes very highly recomended. It's all but the fastest Sata III drive you can buy - A few OCZ drives just edge it but the difference is negligible. Samsung by far have the best reliability though when it comes to SSD's. I've been getting 520Mb/s easily on mine consistently, and without getting a MacBook with a PCIe drive you won't get a faster more reliable drive.
    I really would recommend nothing else.

  • Samsung 840 Evo vs 850 Pro for thinkpad w530

    I want to purchase a 250 gb samsung ssd drive for my w530. My specs:
    Lenovo Thinkpad W530
    I7 3520M @ 2.90 GHz (2 Cores 4 Threads)
    8 Gb Ram
    Nvidia Quadro Q1000M
    I am a mechanical engineer at work, and use this computer for learning new things on my free time. I will be using it to study solidworks simulation, catia, and maybe inventor or creo. I wil use it to understand principles of features and technologies, not for heavy duty freaquent calculations, or constant work with large assemblies. This computer would be too slow for these tasks anyhow. 
    I would appreciate your advice between these two discs: Samsung 850 Pro and 840 Evo.
    Pro has a few GB more space, which actually makes no difference. The considered field is the other performance parameters: on certain tasks 850 Pro is a little, and in other tasks - much faster, according to benchmarks, e.g.:
    http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Pro-256GB-vs-Samsung-840-Evo-250GB/2385vs1594
    Basically it is a new generation ssd drive, having much faster write speed.
    But my mentioned computer is for personal use, is not too fast, and is already 2 years old. Based on my setup and tasks, do you think Pro series will have a performance advantage on my system? Pro is a little more expensive, and I am not sure if I can feel the difference in this computer, maybe you have some advice on this?
    Thank you for your ideas

    Yes, all of those tasks are highly CPU/GPU intensive, not disk intensive. Where you would see a difference is large scale file transfers and/or when the drive is almost full. The EVO would slow down to below the speeds of a standard hdd when it is almost full due to the nature of its memory (which is why it is cheaper in the first place), while the pro would not as much (it still would - all SSDs do - but not as bad as the EVO).
    However, the EVO is kind of designed to account for this, which is why it is only 250 GB. The extra 6 GB is still in the disk, but it is set aside so that you can't fill it up. The rest of the EVOs follow this, too - 512 reduced to 500, 1024 reduced to 1000 - to protect the user from completely destroying its R/W speeds.
    Note that this is still not enough to prevent degradation, and that you should try to keep at least 23-25 GB free on a 256 GB drive for maximum performance. The best method is to just leave the last 25 GB unpartitioned.
