DEAD: Samsung 840 Pro - 256GB SSD - $209.99 FS - Newegg

Ooooooohhhhhh, why must you tempt me so?!?!? I have been contemplating taking my 128GB version of the 840 Pro and turning it into the 256GB version, so I can split it in half to dual boot and play with Win8.

Make a virtual machine to play with win8, you can basically try everything and vm's are nearly as fast as the native machines now.
 
Got one last week for $215 from Newegg. I'll see tomorrow if they'll credit it $15 back.

Awesome drive.

Great deal, sadly will have to pass since all but one of my machines already have SSD in them... However, if this hits $150 or lower at the end of the year clearance, then all bets are off 😀
 
Going to build new rig in next 3 months. Wonder if I should jump on this now or wait. Think it will go back up??
 
I caved and bought one. I had the 512GB version on backorder for $450, but its been a month. I can still record 60 min at 1080p60 with 256GB.
 
Paid 280 for this at microcenter at the beginning of December. If only I would have waited... but oh well awesome drive well worth it still.
 
Just filled in "most" of my taxes and my refund is quite a bit larger than I thought. I am thinking strongly about getting 2 of these for a RAID 0! ARGH...it's a sickness.

Yep. I justify mine by reminding myself I don't have a boat, snowmobile, cabin, beach house, kids, etc. which means I can buy PC parts once in a while.()🙂

Damn, that's good stuff. I can remind myself (at 44 years of age) that I don't have a house payment (for 7 years), don't have a car payment (my car is 10 years old), have enough money for my kid's tuition, have no other "real" payments and have a decent sized retirement. But somehow, I feel like I'm not doing enough for retirement and savings at times. It's a struggle at times. Still holding out hoping it will go dead.

Damn... $215 last week, $200 this week.... what will next week bring?

Well..I'm hoping next few months brings them down even further - 500gb for the same price.

"memory devices" are in the tank right now - so hopefully the prices for SSD drives will drop significantly. 🙂
