Samsung has announced that its PM810 SSD has achieved Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) validation that conforms to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 data security. PM810’s validation of FIPS 140-2 ensures the drive’s capability of providing highest level of data protection.

PM810 data security features self-encrypting drive (SED) technology that uses 256-but AES encryption and Crypto Erase that deletes targeted data in few seconds, no matter how big the volume size of the data.

Samsung says these SSDs security level can be useful to businesses who have to protect their sensitive data from any unauthorized access.

Samsung has started mass production of PM830 Series SSDs that support the Mini-Serial ATA (mSATA) interface. Designed for use in ultrabook PCs, the new compact SSDs weigh just 8 grams and measure 50.95 x 30 x 3.8mm. It will be available in storage capacities of 256GB, 128GB, 64GB and 32GB, which will be available for caching.

The mSATA SSDs uses Samsung’s 20nm class NAND flash memory with toggle DDR interface and integrates SATA 6Gb/s controllers that help to achieve the sequential read/write speed of up to 500/260 MB per second. PM830 mSATA SSDs also embeds 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protection.

UPDATE: Samsung has released some more details regarding the purchase. Norton Ghost and the Batman will be bundled to consumers purchasing a 128GB SSD or higher.

We’ve heard Samsung bundling a Norton Ghost copy with their SSD but Samsung USA is taking a unique approach by bundling a copy of a game. Users purchasing an 830 Series SSD between Nov 15 to Dec 31, 2011 will get with a free copy of Batman: Arkham City.

The 830 Series SSD supports 6GB/s SATA interface and has a sequential read/write speed of 520/400 MB/s.

It is expected to ship later this week.

After launching the 470 Series SSDs in South Korea, Samsung is treating its home market with a better, faster SSD. Samsung has announced the 830 Series SSD for South Korea which is said to be 2.5 times faster than the predecessor.

Clad in a brushed metal shell, the 830 Series SSD supports 6Gb/s SATA interface and boasts a sequential writing speed of 400MB/s and reading speed of 520MB/s.

Samsung will also sell the 830 Series along with an upgrade kit that consists of Norton Ghost 15.0 and necessary cables for an easy upgradation.

Samsung has announced a new SSD series with faster transmission speeds. The new 830 Series SSDs is the same Samsung announced recently but has got a marketable name and an aesthetic pleasing brushed metal enclosure. The 830 Series boasts double the data bandwidth than the successful 470 Series and gives a sequential read/write speed of 500/350 megabytes (MB) per second.

Samsung has confirmed the 830 Series SSD will also come in an upgrade bundle that consists a copy of Norton Ghost, a bracket to install the SSD in a 3.5-inch bay and the necessary cables.

The 830 Series will be released in October in capacities of 64GB , 128GB, 256GB and 512GB.

Samsung has announced mass production of new SSDs that support SATA 3.0 interface with data transmissions at 6Gb/s. Coming in capacities to up to 512GB, Samsung says these high-speed SSDs are apt for high-performance notebooks and tablets. SSD with SATA 6Gb/s support shortens the boot time by about 10 seconds and doubles the performance by giving sequential read speeds of 500MB/s and write speeds of 350MB/s.

The PM830 512GB SSD uses Samsung’s 20nm MLC-based NAND chip integrated with toggle DDR interface. Additionally, the drive offers advanced level encryption with AES 256-bit encryption algorithm.

Samsung plans to replace all SATA 3Gb/s SSDs with SATA 6Gb/s by year-end.

Samsung SSD Upgrade Kit that was announced for the South Korean market last month is now available in United States. To enable consumers an easy transition from a regular HDD to SSD, Samsung is bundling a copy of Norton Ghost 15 to quickly migrate their data from the old storage to the new SSD.

The kit comes with an aluminum bracket to hold the 2.5-inch SSD into the desktop PC’s 3.5-inch bay, a SATA 2.0 and power cables, installation screws and 470 Series SSD.

The upgrade kit is now available across various online retailers for $129.99 (64GB), $239.99 (128GB) and $469.99 (256GB).

Migrating data from one storage disk to another could be a time consuming task but Samsung wants to make it easier and faster with the new upgrade kit announced for its 470 Series SSD. Samsung will now bundle a copy of Norton Ghost 15 that will allow users to easily backup their data and restore it onto the new SSD. Additionally, Samsung will also provide a bracket and a connection cable that can be used when connecting the new SSD in a desktop PC.

Samsung announced the 470 Series SSD in South Korea in January and has been enjoying steady sales. Samsung managed to sell more than 10,000 units of the SSD in the first two months of its launch.

Samsung has announced that they’ve managed to sell more than 10,000 units of 470 Series SSDs in its home market. The electronics giant became the first player to sell SSDs directly to consumers in Korea and managed to achieve this feat in about 2 months since the launch in January.

SSDs are superior to conventional HDDs as the former does not have any moving parts, making it faster and more reliable than HDDs. The 470 Series is a 2.5-inch 256GB SSD that supports SATA interface and has a read speed of up to 250MB/s and write speed of up to 220MB/s.

Samsung has announced that they’ve developed multi-level-cell (MLC)-based Solid State Drives for enterprise storage applications. Coming in capacities of 100, 200 and 400GB options, the SSDs are apt for servers as the new SSD provides higher-density while consuming very less power.

The SSD uses 30nm-class MLC NAND flash chips that support Toggle DDR and 3Gb/s SATA interface, allowing the SSD to perform at par with SLC NAND-based SSD.

The drive boasts random read commands at 43,000 input/outputs per second (IOPS) and random writes at 11,000 IOPS and processes 150 times more data while consuming the same amount of electricity as a 15K RPM HDD.

Additionally, the drive also has an end-to-end data protection, improved data encryption for enhanced security.

The SSDs are currently being sampled with mass production slated for next month.
