  With all the SSD deals lately, every ozbargainer might have at least 2 SSD's.

  If we all combine our SSD's in one data centre, we will have the worlds largest, CHEAPEST, fastest Cloud storage.

  Then scotty can start competing with google :)

  Get local if no more than 10 differences.
  The 5xx mb drives should be below 250 aud shipped now, but they rarely does.

    Agreed - local prices are pretty decent for the Samsung 840 EVO-Series 250GB.

  I would much rather buy locally from here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/160426 (as per easternculture's post - thanks dude)

  Trust me, you wouldn't want headaches if the product fails on you. On the plus side, the Corsair is MLC based and I think the Samsung evo is TLC (basically the NAND chips in the Corsair should last longer)

  My 2 cents

    They are Crucial branded SSD's, nice point on the TLC vs MLC

      Samsung EVO is MLC.

      From EVO specs on ShoppingExpress.com.au (256GB $139)
      "840 EVO is faster than previous Samsung 840 HDD models, providing more rapid sequential and random read and write times for tasks. Samsung’s new 3-bit MLC NAND flash memory stores data efficiently, increasing both speed and reliability."

    Your putting your SSD in data center or high demand business server?

    Have you seen how much you need to write to these drives for the NAND to wear out?

    You need to read up more on this technology. Domestic users aren't going to wear these drives out. Even a high demand web server would struggle to wear it out in 3 years. 5 years may be, but I doubt any of the current SATA drives will be in high demand web servers in 3 years time.

      our cat somehow managed to find one samsung evo 250G in the bin and we happily took it from her (with one weeks supply of whatever fish she wants in exchange) for a run-and-ruin test. long story short, that particular 840evo knocked itself out at somepoint between 800 and 850T data written milestone - about 3200 times its size, so yeah, you can really expect your personal use evo to last a long, long time. definitely longer than your seagate HDDs.
