The 470 Series allows you to boot up your computer in as little as 15 seconds and launch games and apps faster, and it uses two-thirds less power than typical hard disk drives. In addition, because the device has no moving parts--unlike traditional hard drives--it provides exceptional reliability, protecting your data from impact or mechanical failure. A brushed metal shell resists shock, and it also blocks dust and corrosion. And thanks to the included Norton Ghost software, you can transfer files to your new SSD without frustration.

This means that computers can boot up in as little as 15 seconds and programs can open faster. The drive also features TRIM support to ensure that write speeds won't decrease over time (note: please ensure that your computer's operating system also has TRIM support).
The 470 Series also delivers improved multitasking, so that you can easily edit photos, for instance, while downloading a movie.
Norton Ghost Ensures Fast, Easy Data Management
The Samsung 470 comes with a full version of Norton Ghost 15.0, a disk-cloning program that makes data migration much easier. Transferring your files to a new SSD can be a tedious, frustrating task. However, with Norton Ghost's "Copy My Hard Drive" feature, you can copy your entire system to your SSD with just a few mouse clicks. The program creates an exact copy of your original computing environment; there's no need to reinstall your OS, patches, drivers, or other programs.
Norton Ghost also provides a Software Recovery Disk service, which lets you easily restore your system if it crashes--even when your OS won't start up. Customizable, event-based backup features provide additional protection against unexpected data loss.
Solid Brushed Metal Design
The Samsung 470 Series Solid-State Drive features a sturdy, brushed metal hard shell case to protect it from shock, dust, and corrosion. The lack of moving parts also makes your data less susceptible to impact than with traditional hard disk drives. And, at 2.4 ounces, the device ensures that your laptop is lightweight and easy to carry. The drive's 2.5-inch form factor is compatible with most laptops, notebooks, and desktops.
Energy-efficient nonmoving parts add an average of 30 minutes to your laptop's battery. View larger.Energy Efficient to Extend Your Laptop's Battery
Like all solid-state drives, the Samsung 470 Series Solid-State Drives have no moving parts. As a result, it uses two-thirds less power than a typical hard drive. This adds an average of 30 minutes to a laptop's battery--so you can stay on the go longer--and decreases the amount of electricity needed to run a hard drive on a desktop computer. No moving parts also means no noise or delays from hard drive spin-ups.
Optimized for a Superior Gaming Experience
If you're a gamer, the optimized solid-state technology in the 470 Series can give you an extra edge, offering quicker cutscenes and graphic loads. The product also adds up to 30 minutes of gaming time to a laptop's battery life--enabling you to stay in the game longer, with less energy consumption.
