    Got very excited for a second I thought this was the 512GB Pro version. Well I need glasses leave me alone… :)

    • rustynail on 17/12/2012 - 12:23

      I was gonna bite the bullet and buy the 512 GB 840 pro but decided against it after quite a few people complained about having to RMA them. Bit the bullet and bought the $512gb 830 Series.

    • Shwayne on 17/12/2012 - 13:48

      840 is the Pro version of the 830.

      • martyn on 17/12/2012 - 14:13

        Not true, the 830 has been replaced by the 840 and the 840 Pro. The 840 is actually inferior to the 830, 840 pro is better than both.

        • futaris on 17/12/2012 - 15:39

          Well, that's not strictly true. The 840 will use less power than the 830, and it's only on sequential writes that the 830 is better…

        • martyn on 17/12/2012 - 22:29
          +1

          But from what I've read the type of NAND used in the 840 is not as good, so reliability and/or durability will probably be lower.

  • T1OOO on 17/12/2012 - 12:07

    Any info on intel 510 480gb?

    • vid_ghost on 17/12/2012 - 12:30

      old, reliable but SLOW!

      the newer 520 is not the best either

      • ThadtheChad on 17/12/2012 - 13:33

        What's wrong with the 520?

        • vid_ghost on 17/12/2012 - 14:25

          Allot of users are having more problems with the 520 then they are with OCZ .. enough said.

          Sorry mate, as much as I like your other posts, I have to call BS on this.

          Things may have changed, but a couple of months ago I read this in-depth reliability/fault report on SSDs and it demonstrated OCZ have by far the highest RMA/return rates as compared to any other manufacturer.

          Intel 520s SSDs receive the pick of the bin and have a heavily modified SF controller. That said, if I had to buy a few more SSDs it would have to be 830s (price vs performance). :)

        • ThadtheChad on 17/12/2012 - 19:10

          Full disclosure: I have an Intel 520 128GB that I paid $200 for almost a year ago. :P

        • vid_ghost on 17/12/2012 - 22:14

          OCZ still has the most failed drives.. but a quick search on new-egg and amazon's user comments on the Intel 520 and you will want to avoid it like the plage! :)

          Also a quick search on Anandtech forums for ALL the nagive experiances and issues with it from Tech users… the list is never ending! one system bulder lost 3 520's out of a batch of 10…

          Yes OCZ would be the worst..apart from the latest drive that just came out… but even intel cant make an issue free SSD.. Looks like the Samy 830 is the most stable .. followed by Sandisk, intel then Plexter..

          Again going from user reviews from new-egg…. failed and DOA drives.. or failed drives after 3-6 months with users leaving comments … allot of people do have good things to say about the 520 also…

        • ThadtheChad on 18/12/2012 - 00:37
          +1

          Fair enough mate! :)

          The sys builder who lost 3/10… that is freakin' crazy. For my next SSD I'm definitely going to get the 830 or even the M4 (reliability is more imp than a minuscule performance boost).

  • tryonthis on 17/12/2012 - 13:49

    I thought many people are steering clear of the 840 because of numerous issues?

    • hamwhisperer on 17/12/2012 - 13:55

      Pre-release firmware, the single issue is fixed, there is no numerous issue.

    Not pro version? No sale.

  • duneknight on 17/12/2012 - 16:20

    MOD: Stupid question.

    If you go all the way to paying for it, it come out the price the OP advertised.
    Thanks

  • OZGE on 17/12/2012 - 18:04

    HI will this compatible to iMac? I presume it will be hard to install to iMac though? thanks

    • randomuser645 on 17/12/2012 - 19:08

      ive done it before on a 21.5 imac, you just have to buy a 3.5" bracket for it to fit into the computer

      its moderate to hard, i'd say, you need the right equipment (special screwdriver)

      after its installed you need to install a program to stop the fan running at full speed, eg ssd fan control

      you will also want to activate S.M.A.R.T. through the terminal

      instructions are available on ifixit.com

      • chipstss on 17/12/2012 - 20:26

        SSD fan? What the…
        EDIT: Never mind, It makes a little more sense after googling it, but hey Macs 'just work' right?

        • ThadtheChad on 18/12/2012 - 00:39

          Why someone neg you? It is a fair point considering user upgrades on a mac are supported. I have a MBP and I'd consider it a design failure (very Dell-esque) if I had to resort to "short-circuit" hacks or software hacks to prevent this from happening.

  • jordan23140 on 18/12/2012 - 08:16

    Dang, I just bought a 128gb 830 a few days ago. :\ Good deal nonetheless

    • vid_ghost on 18/12/2012 - 11:48

      lol price of the 128gb 830 vs this are no were near each other… how are you upset about that!

      Also the 830 Series is FASTER then the 840 series.. unless its a PRO

  • bilanovsky on 18/12/2012 - 11:11

    It's not taking off VAT, asking to pay EUR 290 + EUR 15,71 shipping. Can you please advise what I am missing.
