Those are just the list prices similar to you see for other drives when not on sale. As you know, SDrs will wait for a sale to buy like they do for other drives.

Thanks for the pic. Looks like my next SSD is gonna be either Samsung 840 PRO 256GB or Plextor M5 PRO 256GB, or Crucial's next gen (m5?) 256GB.

So Samsung wants to peddle us products that are cheaper to make (21 nm NAND and TLC NAND) and wear out sooner at the $1/GB pricemark? No thanks.
Of course you gotta make some bold claims or...

"wear out faster" is TLC NAND in the non-PRO 840. The 840 PRO has 21nm MLC NAND and is faster.

The TLC NAND has lower lifespan. The MLC NAND version has a longer lifespan. The MLC NAND version is also faster.

Wait, let me get this straight. This new drive uses newer 21nm nand which will wear out faster than "larger" (as in physical size) nand and they want me to pay a premium for it?

Sure, I'll pay the 30% premium of 830 for 840pro, which makes it 170 x 1.3 = $221. Otherwise, too expensive.

The 840 PRO is very fast, hence the price. Still not a hot deal though.
If you really want speed, pay a little more for a Revodrive 3 x2, otherwise the Samsung 830 ($170 for 256gb) will be just fine.

yes, in case you didn't know, nand has a finite lifespan. And I am not sure what you think speed has to do with that. I think you may be confused.
