Too many SSD beginners get impressed by the big numbers. But what you usually see are sequential transfer times of large blocks. However, for the OS those are completely irrelevant. The numbers to focus on are access time and 4K random R/W speeds because that's what the OS uses most of the time.

A good SSD that is suitable for the OS should have an access time around 0.1ms (as measured with AS SSD) and a 4K transfer time around 100MB/sec (as measured with Atto).

In your opinion what is a good SSD with these spec in a 256 drive that isn't the cost of a Samsung 840 Pro ? Since as you mentioned in another post in my situation, I'd be better with a 3 GB over a 6.

Here are a couple. I own both a Mushkin and a Crucial M4 and am very happy with those.

Thanks, I read there some issues with both of these drives, many having stability issues.

Anyone seen these yet? New Samsung 840 Evo Drives, upto 1TB.
I expect they will be the top dog very soon.

Nice Paul but am afraid to ask how much

am having a job to buy the standard 840 256 right now these will be well out of reach for me. I personally don't like large drives as lose it and you lose a lot.

Well I find this surprising and I wonder what dollars they are quoting in AnandTech | Samsung launch the 840 EVO: Up to 1TB and Faster Writes for 120GB

PS I also found this for those who are wondering http://www.anandtech.com/show/6884/c...gb-240gb-120gb

That is US dollars John. Still too expensive for me in a TB SSD.

I saw the Samsung Evo SSD's and I don't know how that's going to work honestly. I'll keep an eye on them though.

I read a few articles about it and there is just so much complexity built into these drives now. Simulated SLC mode, Turbo Write, etc......I'm hoping this drive will still be as reliable as other Samsung drives(Gary, you just had bad luck with yours I think), and they aren't trying to do too much with them.
