Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the world leader in advanced memory technology, today held the 2013 Samsung SSD Global Summit at the Westin Chosun Seoul in celebration of the launch of its new solid state drive (SSD), the Samsung SSD 840 EVO. Along with the announcement of its latest SSD under the theme of "SSDs for everyone", the Samsung SSD Global Summit also explored the future of the global SSD market, which is quickly replacing the HDD market.
"After accelerating the growth of the SSD market by last year's launch of entry-level, high-performance SSDs we are introducing a much faster SSDs with up to 1 TB capacities offering consumers a wider range of choices," said Young-Hyun Jun, executive vice president, memory sales & marketing, Samsung Electronics. "Samsung continues to enhance its SSD brand image by delivering the industry's highest quality solutions and continuously increasing its SSD market share by expanding the adoption of higher density SSDs especially in client PC segments"

At this year's event, Samsung unveiled new high-performance, high-density SSDs that offer over 1 TB memory storage. Among the highlights were the 840 EVO, a consumer-oriented entry-level, high-performance SATA based SSD offering up to 1 TB, and the XS1715, an ultra-fast NVMe SSD for enterprise storage use offering up to 1.6 TB.
As part of its strategy to expand into the consumer market and further popularize SSDs, Samsung plans to initially introduce the Samsung SSD 840 EVO to major global markets in early August. Samsung will expand into additional markets at a later date.
The new Samsung SSD 840 EVO line-up makes use of the industry's most compact 10-nanometer class 128 Gb high-performance NAND flash memory, which Samsung began mass producing in April. With these chips and Samsung's proprietary multi-core controller, the Samsung SSD 840 EVO achieves unrivaled value for performance with improved sequential read and write speeds. In addition, Samsung has developed the XS1715, the industry's first 2.5-inch NVMe SSD line-up. This device will expand Samsung's market base for enterprise SSDs, and the company will make them available in the second half of this year.
Samsung created the industry's first SATA-based SSDs for ultra-slim notebook PCs and enterprise servers. Now, Samsung continues to improve on this development, providing SATA, SAS, PCIe and NVMe SSD line-ups which complete the industry's largest line-up of SSD products and solutions for enterprise use. This will lead to even faster replacement of HDDs across the industry.
At this year's Samsung SSD Global Summit, approximately 150 global business press, consumer media and power bloggers from twelve countries were invited, allowing Samsung to introduce high efficiency SSDs to global consumers and show participants just how simple it is to install and utilize SSDs in their notebooks. Consumer-Oriented High-Performance Entry-Level SSD '840 EVO' Line-up Launch (up to 1TB)
Samsung has released the entry-level SSD '840 EVO' line-up with significantly higher sequential write performance. Utilizing the industry's most compact 10nm-class 128Gb high-performance NAND, Samsung proprietary controller and Turbo Write drive, the Samsung SSD 840 EVO boasts superior performance. The Samsung SSD 840 EVO also has flexible product supply capacity, making it the most competitive device on the market today.
Compared with the 250 GB 840 Series SSD, the highest selling capacity of the 840 lineup, the new 250 GB 840 EVO now delivers 520 MB/s sequential write speed - making it more than 2 times faster than last generation. In the case of 120 GB model, the 840 EVO achieves 410 MB/s sequential write speed, which is approximately 3 times as fast as that of the 120 GB 840 Series SSD.
For the 1 TB 840 EVO SSD, the sequential read/write performance has reached 540 MB/s and 520 MB/s. Furthermore, both the random read and write performance have achieved the highest level, reaching 98,000 IOPS (Input Output Operations Per Second) and 90,000 IOPS, respectively. This significantly enhances the user's real-world computing experience, especially when he or she is dealing with very large data files.
The Samsung SSD 840 EVO line-up is available in five capacities: 120GB, 250GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB, supporting a wide range of computing environments and IT applications. It has also significantly narrowed the capacity-induced differences in performance, which gives consumers a broader spectrum of devices to choose from
