New Samsung SSD

[LittleJay]

Today NewEgg has a New Years Day sale and I noticed they have a Samsung 840 Pro Series 128 Gb SATA III SSD for $130 US. Is this a good buy, as far as SSDs are concerned? I would use it to run my Windows 7 installation. Thanks for any input.

Getting any kind of SSD is a good buy! You will notice the performance right away.

I use my SSD for my Windows 7 Ultimate install and drivers, then install all games and software on a 1TB Western Digital drive.

This keeps your SSD clean and swift and gives you lots of room

YES....that's a very good price on the 840 Pro....I'll check it out myself.

No problem . I am sure you will find it a lot faster!

The 840 Pro is at the top of the heap right now as far as performance......and that's a decent price.

Thanks Kelly. I just placed the order!

Will do! Hopefully this, along with the new CPU cooler and cleaning materials will arrive the same day. Then I can disconnect my PC just one time and do everthing at one time.

It better be a good deal; I just ordered one early this morning!

All seriousness aside (?), the 840 Pro is at the top of the heap performance-wise and is a good price. It lists at $150 but has been selling for $140 at Newegg and Amazon. The NewEgg sale knocks off another ten shekels.

I got $20 each off four WD20EARX the day after Christmas.

It currently is the best performer out there according to review sites, and it had to beat out a lot of good drives to get there! I hope to see it come down to $125-130 regular price soon. Make sure you two let us know your first impressions, benchmark scores, and thoughts when you get them up and running.

It will be interesting to see how the Samsung SSD compares performance wise to my OCZ Vertex III SSD which has performed well for me so far.

It will be a couple of months before I actually install it in what will be my first build but a sale is a sale (and I'm a cheap, old b***h).
