Samsung 470 SSDs?

Have a chance to pickup 10x of these 256GB jobbies for ~$30 a piece.
About the only thing I know about these are that they are the predecessors of the 830.

Performance isn't all too important (as long as it has faster random I/O than mechanicals), was worried more about functionality / reliability.

TIA!
 
Are you allowed to check their SMART status?

I don't know if SSDs that old supported TRIM.

Sounds like a great deal though.
 
They are not that old, newer than intel's x25m for example. Yes, they support TRIM, and samsung magician software also do works with that series. I have one.
 
Yeah, I'm finding it hard to say no to a $30 256GB SSD from a reliable vendor, even though Silicon Motion powered drives (eg. PNY Optima) are hitting as low as ~$65-70 for 256GB.
