Best offer since the last one I think. Currently it's $266.35 with slowest shipping. I've missed the last Amazon deal with the coupon because Paypal account wasn't set for Australia. Best price since and can't find it cheaper any where else.. Around $305 at PCCaseGear or Futu Online.

From CamelCamelCamel it's $10 above the lowest ever recorded (without and vouchers).

USD $189.99 with 30% discount.

  • Great deal for those who missed out on eBay 20% tech discount.

  • Lots of these deals lately. Upgrade time ;)

    • Definitely worth to get one now. The 840 evo was an insight as to how well ssd works. The 850 evo cements its position even further

      • I Thought the 840 EVO were all starting to slow to almost the speed of a mechanical hard drive, even the fix Samsung put out only fixes it for a short period of time.

        • Nah, I put together plenty of builds with Evo 840s and never saw that once. It was a batch issue.

        • put together plenty of builds

          You'd see the problem long after the build - that's the problem.

        • i only read up about these when they first came out. as usual, i tend to shy away from first generation products. so naturally, i avoided the 840 evo, and waited until the 850 evo came out before i jumped on the bandwagon.

          @AlexF: It's 3 month old data or older to be precise. I'll add, for your benefit; I provide managed IT services to many clients that use dozens and dozens of workstations I've put together. If someone's SSD suddenly packed up one day or their productivity was being affected by incredibly slow load times, I'm going to be hearing about it (as I have in the past with similiar issues). To date, I have yet to see any of the Evo 840-based workstations exhibit these kinds of issues; and I specifically singled them out for extra scrutiny when the whole firmware issue came to light by asking my clients to keep an eye on them and report any issues back to me, as well as benchmarking them regularly just to be sure. Like I said, it's most likely a batch issue and not a design flaw. There are millions and millions of Evo 840s in the world; if they were all buggered you'd be hearing a lot more noise than you are now.

          @t25: The 850s are technically a 'first gen' product, especially with their use of NAND.

        • @Lukian: oh no! Goes to show despite how much research you put into these things there is still room to miss out on vital information
