Yum yum

 

[Gibbo]

These drives look sublime!

 

[Zenduri]

In the description here and on the product page for the 500gb version it says 120 gb... Too much copy and paste

Do I win the 500gb one for spotting that?

 

[BrianB]

What improvements over my 830? Just curious, is it just the IOPS? Am I the only one who think's the drives would look better without the Orange Mobile sticker on them?

More IOPS not enough for you

 

[MoRT489]

Dammit, still have my 256GB 830 sitting on the shelf waiting to be installed since June!

 

[BUZZIN_NICE]

NO PRICE HINTING

 

[Secret_Window]

Damn, I only just bought a 256Gb 830 a few weeks back.

 

[wkingsnorth]

Now uber cheap 830s? Please?

 

[foster grant]

Now uber cheap 830s? Please?

+1

 

[Curunen]

Damn, I only just bought a 256Gb 830 a few weeks back.

Me only one week back...

 

[MoRT489]

The paper specs look so much faster but Pro vs basic vs 830 - any real world differences? Please add to SSD Megatest

 

[chanjy]

I don't get it the write speeds seem to have gone down from the 830s? Am I wrong?

eg. 256Gb 830 is 400mb/s vs 256Gb 840 basic is 250mb/s

Spec looking good especially IOPS. But prices look big too :/

 

[chippy08]

The Samsung SSD840 has lost 6gig of space as well compared to the old 830 256gig

 

[PorkPieCat]

basic 840 is not the straight upgrade to the 830. it uses a process that aims to be more cost effective (and to the end-user), at the price of write speed and a little write endurance. 830's basically branched into the 840 pro and 840, while 830 will be discontinued. they all look viable to me, reviews say they're all excellent

You can however use the provided software to change the over provisioning so that your 250GB is 256GB etc etc

I got the 830 256mb a week ago fully knowing these 840's were to be released very soon. I still decided on the 830 because with the £20 cash back and the sale last week it only cost me £127.99.

I noticed absolutely no difference between the 830 and the 60gb agility 3 it replaced, except for having a lot more space and benchmarks showing better speeds.

I did not know the prices last week for the 840 but seeing it now I'm glad I took the 830, also considering only the pro comes with a 5 year warranty theres not much upside to buying the standard 840.

If I was buying today I would probably go for the 840 pro considering the performance and 5 year warranty, but if the 830 was still available for £127.99 I would buy it instead.
