- Reviewed by: Dong Ngo

The good: The Samsung 840 series solid-state drive (SSD) is affordable, good-looking, and offers very good performance.
The bad: The Samsung 840 comes with just three, not five years of warranty coverage and is likely to have shorter lifespan than others of the same capacity.
The bottom line: The Samsung 840 series is an excellent entry-level solid-state drive for budget and general users, but not really a good buy for advanced or professional users.
