The 840 Evo drive developed read problems for "old data". There is a firmware fix for the bug but I don't think it ever solved the problem completely. Either way the newer 850 Evo doesn't have any firmware issues and performs significantly better. It's worth paying a bit more for the newer drive in my opinion.
Don't do it these are dreadful drives once used, they slow down to almost a crawl and the fix from samsung was to constantly write to the drive which just makes it get smaller and smaller. Do yourself a favour and by something else, even a cheap slow sandisk is better than this. I ditched my 2 840 evo's and it's made my system much better.

Were EVOs affected? I knew Pro drives were but never found solid info if Evo was affected, I seem to remember their 'performance restoration tool' only supported the pro drives.

You probably need a 2.5" to 3.5" SSD adapter bracket to fit in your desktop. Voucher does work but your must select Paypal for payment before entering the code :smiley:
