SAMSUNG SSD 840 PRO 256GB
128Gb Samsung 840 Pro Series
Samsung leverages the
full power of its tremendous manufacturing capability with an SSD
constructed entirely with Samsung building blocks. With the MDX
controller, NAND and DRAM production in-house, Samsung aims to deliver
the total package for their datacenter customers.
Samsung's SM843 Pro Data Center Series is the beginning of a deeper
push from Samsung into the datacenter. The SM843 SATA SSD is geared for
mainstream usage in a wide variety of typically read-centric workloads.
The SM843 is the first new product in the Samsung datacenter SSD family,
and following shortly will be Samsung's first SAS SSD, the SM1625. The
SM1625 behemoth is designed for heavier workloads and features
impressive specifications.
The SM843, in contrast, is intended for the entry-level and mainstream
market. This segment is exploding rapidly and several key players have
begun to address these markets with specialized solutions. Samsung is
turning their attention to gaining more traction in this burgeoning
market segment with the SM843, and intends to aggressively market this
SSD at near-consumer pricing.
A key building block of the SM843 is Samsung's own 21nm MLC NAND.
Samsung is the largest manufacturer of NAND in the world, controlling
42.7% of the market. Samsung's lead in the market is considerable, with
the next two competitors combined equaling Samsung's market share. Much
of Samsung's dominance in this market comes from lucrative contracts
with Apple, the world's largest flash customer.
