i don't understand why the 830 series cost more than the 840 pro, this one seems faster. what am i not getting?

830 supply is running dry, so you are probably only seeing the 830's being sold on the marketplace by stores with less competitive pricing than amazon.

Greetings Joe, from the research I have done, it seems that the 840pro is better than the 830 which is better than the 840. The 840 uses cheaper memory technology than the 830 and 840pro which limits its write endurance over its lifetime. To answer your question about why the 830 is more expensive than the 840pro. My first hypothesis is that supply for the 840pro is much greater than the 830. Amazon will have to lower the price of that product if they want to keep people from buying it at other stores. I also noticed that many of the reviews for the 830 were from customers replacing hard drives on their Macbooks. If they were recommended that drive by a friend and saw the good reviews, they may or may not check similar products. At that point they are in the same boat as you, wondering why the ssd that looks better in specs is cheaper. In the end if they are on the fence, they probably value the advice and judgment of someone they know with similar tech to them rather than going gnashing over what is most efficient. Hope that helped you in making your decision, enjoy the SSD.

Seems to be close to the 8500. The specs show it to be slightly slower if I recall correctly.

Well to be specific it has a lot more RAM. It is a much faster machine for it. They also replaced the HHD with a SSD. Much faster and more reliable. They also installed Windows 8. I'm not all that happy with Windows 8. 8 has a problem with the USB 3.0 drivers and Host controller. If I could I would go back to 7

I see the current ad states Z3770. When I bought it, it was Intel i3 processor. I can't say which is really current. Just looked it up. The one I bought was 11-6363BLK @ $799.99. Also it had 128 GB SSD, not 64 GB

I got the previous 840 model from Samsung and it is beautiful on my Ubuntu box. :) Now I'm getting this one for an Ubuntu server. Ubuntu is pretty much instant-on with the previous one and this one is faster, so enjoy!

they are different computers. almost the same. I think one has a better processor or ram speed. you should try googling it. If I try to explain the whole thing it would take forever. remember the higher number of processor speed and ram the better. good luck

go with samsung ssd or crucial ssd. with solid state hard drive there will be a very noticeable increase in speed. go with what you can afford, the 120g is a good price. the samsung 840 pro I got from amazon came with data transfer cd. One thing I researched was read and write speeds and it looks like the bigger the ssd capacity the faster it is. definitely ssd.

The other drive (referenced on your link) is more for the hardcore professional. It's best feature is the speed (480MB/s). The average prosumer (and many pros) will do just fine with this one. I do professional video and this drive is perfect for me.

The 640gb is supposed to be faster than the 750gb model, and from what I've seen it gets a higher percentage of 5-star reviews. Therefore it's probably a bigger selling drive, higher demand drives the price higher, it's just basic economics.

I'm afraid I can not help, other than to say according to Samsung, the 840 Pro is the same size as the 840 EVO (which I installed in my Lenovo SL510 with ease). Note though - the Samsung software will not move/migrate a drive that is the Operating System drive - you will have to use a pub domain app (there are several).

The pro uses proven technology like in previous models (830). The evo is a new kind of memory that might be good but I think is worth waiting to see.

An Asus what?? would have helped, but as long as your motherboard supports sata 3 ie the 6gbps speed you should get the largest drive you can afford with the best write speed. Samsung 840, 840 pro or EVO series are all excellent Corsair is also excellent I would currently avoid OCZ not for technical reasons but because the company has gone under and waranty may be a problem in the future. You should also make sure your pc or laptop has an available 3.5inch bay or 2.5(if laptop) if going into a laptop you may only have one available drive bay and might want to get an external sata drive bay for copying your old drive to the new SSD.

Thanks for your question. The 840 is a significantly better sounding headphone with richer tone. They are wonderful sounding phones

Based on the seagate cheetah drive specs in its description I found that this product with an ocz vertex 4 had a read write speed of about 400mbs in my 2009 Mac Pro. So personally I would suggest using this. I did however try and dig a second ssd as it said it would or could double the read/write rate to 800mbs. However I never figured it out and just stayed with one. Hope this helps.

The pro uses a different type of NAND. The Pro uses MLC which is older but faster. The regular 840 and the Evo use TLC which is newer and cheaper to produce. Also, the Pro's MLC NAND is supposed to last much longer. The 2nd article estimates that MLC's expected lifespan is 60 years vs 19 years for TLC.

More because it's OC(overclocked). Don't waste your money the improved 700 series equivalent is coming and it will be similarly priced(I'm personally grabbing the 770 lightning).

I think the 83250 is just a newer model. I did not see any difference between them,except for the price. I bought the cheaper one.
