Gamers who purchase a 250 GB SSD 840 solid-state drive will get a free PC download of Ubisoft's Far Cry 3.
“Fans of Far Cry 3 will be rewarded,” said Geoffroy Sardin, chief EMEA sales and marketing officer at Ubisoft. “The added performance of Samsung’s new SSD 840 drives will allow gamers to make full use of the game’s open ‘sandbox’ environment, which allows unprecedented long-range gameplay and full tactical freedom in a world of beautifully realistic settings.”
Published by Ubisoft Entertainment and developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with three other Ubisoft studios, Far Cry 3 is the latest installment in the company’s popular Far Cry series, which has sold more than 8 million units since its first release in 2004. Far Cry 3 allows players to assume the role of Jason Brody, a tourist stranded on a remote tropical island chain in the grips of violent conflict between crazed inhabitants. As he seeks to escape, Brody finds himself in unexpected and dangerous situations on the outskirts of civilization, where he is forced to take action in order to survive.
Samsung’s 840 family of SSDs builds on the success of its acclaimed 830 series SSDs. The new drives’ proprietary controllers and firmware, along with their leading-edge NAND flash memory technology, deliver exceptional performance and value, as well as unrivalled energy efficiency. Samsung, unique among SSD manufacturers, engineers all of its components in-house. This allows it to meticulously fine-tune its hardware and software for enhanced reliability. In addition, Samsung’s newly redesigned Magician 4.0 diagnostics and management software keeps the drives running at their peak.
