What a confusing thread. Just do some research and stop listening to people in this forum.

Thanks for replying. I also noticed this on the Amazon description page:
So I would need something other than that due to it mounting in a Mac Pro? I'll ask on the forums you suggested also.

840 Pro and 830 are based on MLC, this 840 is based on TLC which has short life span and shows lower performance.

I bought multiple 830's for less than $139.99 if you count my ebay bucks :D $169.99 from the newegg ebay store - $34.00 in ebay bucks = $135.99 each.

At 10GBs of writes per day, the TLC NAND lifespan is 3.5years for 128GB. I doubt anyone writes 10GBs of data everyday for 3-4 years. For enterprise this is not good enough.
