Yeah. Shows how long it has been since I was really into being a "PC enthusiast". My poor lowly, yet extremely expensive 120g's. :(

Post by: ideus on Thu, 21 March 2013, 08:26:36: That is a good deal, I bought my SSD 830 256GB for around $200 just a few months ago, so now for only $60 bucks more you get 2x capacity. WOW.

It's a great deal, but the TLC NAND 840 is no where near as good or durable as the 830.
