http://www.anandtech.com/show/6337/samsung-ssd-840-250gb-review Basically, if you're using it on a system for leisure than productivity/workhorse, you should be more than fine. Life expectancy is...

Then again SSD drives are so lightweight that even velcro works fine, good if you want to hide them or want more airflow in your system.

is this a good ssd? I need a ssd drive, not sure if I should get this or the 128 gb crucial on amazon that has 1k+ ratings..

I install ssds on my computer by duct taping them to the inside of my case. Who needs brackets?

Got it. Pretty good deal since missing the Black Friday one. I use the Sabrent USB 2.0 to SATA to clone the drive, which is about $15.00 at Fry's. Download free Macrium Reflect to clone the drive. So...

This is tempting, but I hate the idea of being an adopter of what is essentially the first mainstream TLC drive -- to get the performance they're achieving from this thing, they must really be...

After looking at the test results at Anandtech (the AnandTech Storage Bench 2011—Light Workload test best categorizes my usage), I've determined the 840 will be fine for me over the 830. In for...

The drive requires 10% more free space than the 830, has a 1/3 life expectancy. If thats worth a $14 savings do buy the drive. (Not to mention the poor write performance under strain)
Post #56060226 added 12-14-2012 12:30 PM by Jgr in Archived Deals
And where is the 830 for $164??
Post #56060420 added 12-14-2012 12:34 PM by gundie in Archived Deals
What's the difference between this and the 830?
Post #56064080 added 12-14-2012 2:01 PM by Ananke in Archived Deals
This dies on the second month, unless Samsung fixed that problem. Then, it may actually stay alive for a year :cool: I would get some reliable Indilinx controller drive, for the same money. Of...

That's pretty scary knowing your drive will die in 7 years before even buying it ;)
Post #56056252 added 12-14-2012 10:43 AM by patrick999 in Archived Deals
This one has slow write speeds vs the 830. Should that affect real world performance?
Post #56056378 added 12-14-2012 10:46 AM by andrewexd in Archived Deals
Im tempted because theres no rebate... how does this compare to the Sandisk extreme? www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006EKJ8UI/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1355510610&sr=8-9&pi=SL75

In 4 1. Still got a laptop with platters. This will mean I don't have to migrate anything off the laptop, should improve battery life ( 840's power use is almost non existent ) and be such a speed...

Oh, I'd do it. If you have a new home for your old SSD (SATA II I presume) it'd be a no brainer for me. Heck, I have a year old 160GB Intel SATA II and I'm considering it! :O

The life expectancy is theoretical, and if were quoting anand, dont for get the performance overtime page this drive takes a big hit when you put a workload on the drive (the average user does...

If your shopping then Id keep looking, if you really want a TLC drive Id wait for the 840 500gb to hit a $300 sale again. (since the size doubling doubles life expectancy of any ssd, based on a set...

My time machine tells me that TLC drives do indeed have lower life expectancy than MLC drives, a total of 3 years and 3 weeks. But he also told me to grab these TLC drives before they roll out...

I want a pro version at this price which is twice faster in writes than this one. Otherwise, no go for me.

The drive is repeatedly been on sale at that price. I have gotten them at frys and amazon. Microcenter has them on sale for 159.99 every other week Amazon has repeated had the drive on sale...

No firmware upgrade will fix the fact that this drive has 1/3rd the life of previous generation 830 models.

Wow this 830 vs 840 just doesn't end. Every thread this debate comes up.

and its no joke, you would have to be crazy to be buying this TLC based drive. What is going on in peoples minds that are buying this drive? I think its a lack of education. People see 256gb SSD for...

Question, what made you post this comment as it provided nothing to the thread.
Post #56095948 added 12-15-2012 4:41 PM by Pizzahut in Archived Deals
It provided people following the thread with the info that this drive is 7mm which was not posted in the description.

It's sad that people like you think wooohoo MLC gazillion GB read and write and 20 year life. when fact is most don't need that much.

Samsung just released a firmware update yesterday for this, by the way.

One thing to keep in mind is this is the new 840 drive, which there isn't much track record on yet. So drawing conclusions about this drive's performance and reliability based on how good the 830's...
Post #56061100 added 12-14-2012 12:53 PM by Jgr in Archived Deals
I agree. I'd prefer an 830. No microcenter anywhere remotely close to me I haven't seen 830 in stock at amazon in a while. I must've missed it.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6337/samsung-ssd-840-250gb-review/11 Many people spend 30-40% more on an i7 (eg 3770k) vs an i5 (3750k), and to the average user there is almost no difference in...

Isn't the 830 discontinued?

Great deal. Cheapest I've seen these drives go for . One thing to note: This offering is for the drive and the software CD only - it does NOT come with the installation hardware (sata cable, 2.5"...
