Samsung 850PRO $149.99 on Amazon, Microcenter pricematched

[rocco518]

Amazon posted the Samsung 850PRO SSD 256GB today at $149.99. I walked in to my local MicroCenter, where it was selling for $189.99, asked them to pricematch, and they did!! I also applied a $30.00 store credit, bringing it to $119.99 plus tax. A good deal? It was this, or the Crucial MX100 256 GB,(a better value), but seems to be having some issues with not booting and such.

I posted this in case someone prefers to deal "brick and mortar" for this kind of stuff. BE KIND !! It's actually my very first posting. Hope it helps someone.

Wrong place. Should be in deals section.

Sorry bout' that... Like I said, first post. How would we go about moving it to deals section?

I'll re-post in the Deals section, and perhaps a moderator will delete this thread.

Thanks for the advice.

That link to Crucial's website is good info. I had the same thing happening to a MX100 SSD shortly after installing Windows, and that weighted considerably on my mind on whether I should keep it.

I have been burned with SSDs in the past with OCZ's Vertex and Samsung's 830. They just stopped working. I thought we would be past that with Crucial's new drives too.
