The Samsung 840 Pro is a 2.5-inch SATA III solid state drive with 256GB of capacity and rated sequential reads up to 540 MB/s. It was one of the fastest SATA drives of its generation, using MLC NAND and Samsung's own controller, and it earned a reputation for consistent speed and long service life. It suits older laptops and desktops that need a fast, reliable boot drive on a SATA port. Against newer SATA drives it holds up on everyday responsiveness but trails on capacity per dollar and lacks the endurance ratings and warranty length of current models.

Owners and reviewers rate the 840 Pro highly for real-world speed and reliability, and many report years of trouble-free use. The main complaints are its age, capacity and the fact that newer drives beat it on value.
