This is a great read about the external version of this 4TB drive: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=26140.0 4TB Seagate Faceoff - DX vs DM Basically, there are two configurations, 5 platter 800G or 4 platter 1000G. I think it might be worth trying to check before...

@tft_newbie The first image is for 830 512GB on primary SATA II port. Second image is for 840 Pro 256GB on DVD/secondary SATA II port. I had to get the newest ATTO version. Mine old version looked different, it was version 2.02, so about 45 versions old (12 years). Funny. You can...

Yes, it is a SATA II issue. When I put my 830 in a Mac Mini on SATA III the same drive read was 500 MBps and write over 400 MBps sequential. I was really surprised the same drive was so slow on SATA II, yet thrilled it was so fast on the Mac Mini. Regarding your SATA II mobo, I read many...

The 830 500GB does not achieve 300MBps on SATA II, rather over 200MBps. I put an 830 256GB into a Mac mini SATA III with potential 600MBps, and it achieves approximately 500 MBps read and over 400 MBps write. The benefit of SATA III is big. Later today, when I get to my laptop, I will post the...

I was in same situation as you, and I got the 256GB 840 Pro. So, I say yes to return and get the Pro. Others might say get the 830 for reliability as we do not know about TLC. I have SATA II in my laptop. The primary drive is an 830 500GB for the OS and other stuff. I added a CD/DVD...

Oh my god, I love this thread. I only read the first three pages and I'm rolling. Must stop reading further, and save for future entertainment. I have previously heard (almost) every argument dozens of times, but rarely all in one place. Recording my amazement is my only contribution...

I think a web bug exists on page 2 of your 840 Pro review. Under features I see the 840 chart rather than 840 Pro. This bug is with the Pro review. www hardocp com /article/2012/12/10/samsung_840_pro_ssd_review/2 I love the new 840 review. Thank you.
