I think that is way cool. If they price is reasonable - IMO, it should do well.
I prefer SSD over HDD since they use less electricity and faster.

A lot of these devices that provide high-speed sequential read/write are actually abysmal at random seek read/write. Depending on application it can render the speed advantages useless. Would love to see them publish the random seek times but I suspect they don't for good reason.

I didn't realize Samsung SSDs were that slow before. These new "faster" drives are just catching up to other companies' 2012 products.

The Samsung 840 Pro ~$250 for 256 Gb has similar specs to Evo.
Would be curious at the comparison of teh two when it comes.
Also wondering why Samsung are not offering a PCI-X version to compete with OCZ.

So that's why I see the current line of Samsung SSDs on sale everywhere...
In a month or so, anything left in the current line should be even cheaper as "last years model closeout." I would be happy with one of them.

@Nairda, NVMe is a PCIe interface for storage (PCI-X is long dead). You didn't think they were getting 3G/sec over SATA did you? http://www.nvmexpress.org
I didn't think the existing 840s were that slow either. This spec page shows 330M/sec sequential write which isn't a third of 410. http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TD500BW-specs It's for a 500G model though - smaller ones may have been slower, but I don't recall them being as low as 130M/sec.

As somebody who just bought 2 840 Pro 256Gb drives to Raid 0 them, I'm a bit pissed that I could have just waited a tiny bit for these which have similar performance and much larger space.

I bet I'm one of MANY who are simply waiting until SSD prices drop to a FAR more reasonable level. At 10 to 20 times the price of current hard drives, the SSD is just not worth the benefits.

@Zaron, get over it, you've got a stupidly fast setup there that you were very happy with when you bought it.
@WagTheDog You're talking as if that price difference comes with no benefit. SSD performance is orders of magnitude better than HDD, while HDD capacity is likely to remain superior for the foreseeable future. SSD prices have been dropping VERY fast over the last few years: http://www.storagenewsletter.com/news/marketreport/when-will-ssd-have-same-price-as-hdd-priceg2
I don't know why anyone would say the 840s were not competitive with OCZ offerings: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-recommendation-benchmark,3269-6.html

Prices must come WAAAAAYYYY down before this becomes consumer friendly. Right now it is only really viable for notebooks and such. Or, as a small "System" drive. But adoption of these large drives will not be widespread until price drops dramatically.
