    Awesome speed, four times faster than HDDs
    How many times have you upgraded your CPU, RAM or hard disk, only to be disappointed when there was no noticeable difference in performance? So instead of rushing out to buy a new PC, try upgrading to a Samsung SSD 470 first. You’ll be amazed at its awesome, unprecedented speed that’s four times faster than legacy HDDs, speeding up everything you do from boot ups, to applications, to data access.

    Outstanding multi-tasking with no drop in performance
    The Samsung SSD 470 proves its true worth when it comes to multi-tasking. Any hard drive is bound to diminish in speed when tasked with supporting multiple programs at the same time. However, with the Samsung SSD 470, you won’t feel any change in speed. With Samsung’s proprietary SSD technologies, you can download videos, edit pictures, and work on large-capacity PPT and Excel files, all at the same time.

    Greater performance stability and speed guaranteed over a long life
    The Samsung SSD 470 enables you to continue working faster, and longer than with any other drive. With an SSD, you can also more securely store and protect your data, even while you’re on the move, thanks to its high resistance to shocks and vibrations, unlike HDDs.

    Longer battery life, extending your performance envelope
    Why be burdened with the weight of extra batteries, when you’re on the move? With the Samsung SSD 470, you gain an average of 30 minutes extra battery life per charge vs. conventional HDDs. Since it has no moving parts like old-style HDDs, the Samsung SSD 470 consumes a lot less power, resulting in a longer battery life. Needs only one-third the power of an HDD.
