Keep in mind that Samsung 840 uses cheaper/slower components than the 830.
Only the 840 Pro should be considered an upgrade over 830.

To be more specific, it uses low-cost TLC NAND flash memory, commonly found in low-end flash drives, GPS, and other devices where the number of lifetime writes is relatively low. Samsung is the first drive to offer a TLC SSD drive, making it a high density / low cost alternatively to MLC drives, such as the 840 Pro and it's older 830 series.

Although, according to Anandtech, the 840 is considered similar to, or even slightly faster than, the 830 for the average desktop user:

Keep in mind, this is the 840, not the 840 pro. The performance is a bit lower than the last gen Samsung. I ordered one anyway.

This is exactly what I was waiting for. This drive is still $399 on Amazon, and was $379 on Newegg just last night. This is the lower price of TLC NAND finally coming to fruition.
Also keep in mind that although it is not the 840 Pro, it is *much* cheaper, and speeds are really good compared to almost all modern SSDs. It also significantly outperforms older SSDs like the Intel 320. |

No, it is doubtful this drive lifts. Never fear! The California sales tax whiner is here!

I really want to upgrade my MacBook Pro's 120GB SSD + 750GB HDD to a 512GB SSD x 2 setup. I just don't think the costs currently justify the upgrade. I'm sure with a couple more months passing, 512GB SSD's will be down to $200-250, and then I'll bite.
