    I'm waiting on shopping express to do another deal on the sandisk extreme. Seems to be the best bet price wise at the moment. Hope I'm not waiting to long…

  Hmmm, not sure how reliable this drive will be. Holding myself back because its TLC. Good find anyway.

    There shouldn't be any issues with it.
    Yes it probably does have a shorter memory life cycle because of the TLC but
    I'm sure I saw someone do a stress test on one of these and it lasted for a
    few 100TB before doing whatever the hell these things do when they die.
    Plus it has a 3 year warranty and if you use these only as an OS drive and
    don't abuse them they should last for a lot longer.

  I got the 830 for $180 and they are considered to be better than the 840 non-pro due to what they are made of and the write speeds I think are much slower on the 840. However the 830s are getting really hard to find now and $175 seems really decent now imo. Although it may be cheaper than other places selling 840s, I don't consider it to be a bargain as Kingston/Sandisk seem to be relative in performance (maybe even better) and can be bought at a lower price.

    Pissed off I missed the run-out of the 830 at the $180-$185 mark, would have been quite happy with one of those.
    Ended up forking out $250 for the 840 Pro. Although a bit better drive than the 830 it's definitely
    not really $70 better.But what can you do.
