Oh wow, we might actually get 6 GBps transfer rates on a SATA3 interface now? Say it ain’t so!
In all seriousness, this is badass. After struggling with OCZ SSDs for years, I made the switch to Samsung and have absolutely ZERO regrets.
Why did they call it an 850 when it’s a 250?
Still pretty amazing but, expensive.
Went and looked it up, for pricing and it’s actually not expensive. It is if looked at by the meg or Gig per buck but, if we are replacing SATA/ATA drives then it’s a good deal.
I might get back into building computers again if everyone keeps coming out with such awesome products.
Can’t be too hard to make a laptop. It’s just a smaller foot print.
I could make me the most awesomest laptop around!!!

128 GB: $122.27
256 GB: $199.99
512 GB: $399.99
1TB: $699.99
A little bit expensive compared to the $120 I spent on a 3 TB WD NAS drive, but it's getting to the point where even a cheap person like me would consider a flash drive for my primary working drive and just have a spinning disk for longer term storage.
When we get to a TB for $100, this stuff is gonna rock. I’ll probably get a 256 GB drive for Christmas just to speed up my rather beefy desktop here that much more. I can’t see needing more than that for a boot/app drive. I’ll leave the spinning platters for data. /home spread across a couple of 2TB drives, with something like this to boot from sounds pretty good.
