It can Gary.

Finally, a word on the new Magician software (4.4) which will launch with the drive. We previewed the beta of it, and while the UI remains very much the same – no bad thing, since it's an excellent piece of software as it is. It can be used to guide users through the encryption process, and RAPID Mode has also been updated with new algorithms (no specifics yet) and the ability to utilise up to 25 percent of free system memory, up to a maximum of 4GB in systems with 16GB of RAM or more. The previous limit was 1GB.

...What I may have missed is whether or not the 850 Pro can use Rapid Mode.

It can. It will use 25% of available RAM up to 16GB of RAM for a max of 4GB cache from RAM.

10 year Warranty of new SSD's is to appeal to the "non Geek market" who have probably heard that SSD drives are less reliable than spinners. If a manufacturer gives a 10 year warranty they are really standing behind the product. Like I said early this year when OZC went bust this is the year SSD drives become mainstream. I expect many of the better quality laptops and desktops will come with an SSD and a 1TB spinner for this years holiday market since the price and quality is right. So far 4 of our machines have SSD boot drives and the 5th drive is on its way.

That is a good deal for an 840 EVO and anyone considering one should jump on it.

I wonder when an 850 EVO will come out? The 850 Pros are due out soon and, already, the 840 Pros are plummeting in price. When the 850 EVOs come out, the prices for the 840 EVOs should really drop. Being the cheap, old, bi...broad I am, I probably won't replace any of my Sammy's (one older 128GB 840 Pro and two 500GB 840 EVOs) unless they die on me (they wouldn't dare!).

I would wait awhile for the price to come down a bit.

Looks like it never existed for us on that deal.

Says out of stock, and no price listed.

I know what a promo code is, but what are these "rebates" Americans seem to get on some items?
