Thanks for the review. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy it.

Justin, I don't know anything about the "blue Murder" but I've had plenty of issues with other venders over the years and eventually went back to them despite saying I never would.

Looking other places I've not seen much different then what The Flash has stated and that is that this is a really good drive.

justin posted : You should not buy it, because Samsung got away with blue murder with their 840 EVO product. On behalf of consumers like me who got ripped off, you should boycott them.

The Flash posted : Probably one of the better SSDs you can get currently. The Pro doesn't use the cheaper TLC type chips which is why it's a bit pricier.

As for reliability, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Check out this stress test.

kcrupp posted : Honestly, I don't pay any attention to prices or specs until I actually think of buying something. Also, I put a premium on reliability, which is why I currently use a WD Raptor.

Exodus posted : lol, there are better deals on SSDs that I've seen and you wait until this one for it to become reasonable? You're paying about 50 cents on the GB. I've seen deals for 40 cents or lower on the GB for quality SSDs.

Today I got an email from Newegg advertising the Samsung 850 Pro, 512GB model for $249.99 with $3.00 shipping, with a subscriber promo code. Promo is tomorrow, Sunday April 5th.
