@ Chewy

830 is very good drive. But if you want to spend more on 840 Pro and wait 2 weeks ... wink.gif

Is there any mention of P/E numbers in any of those reviews? I am too lazy to look through them frown.gif

I'd never buy any new SSD, even if it's the successor of the reliable 830.
I'd urge anybody interested to wait at least 3 months to read some forum/amazon/newegg reviews. During that period users can "gauge" the reliability, and as a bonus prices will definitely go down.

That being said, the 840 looks mighty yummy biggrin.gif

Second 830 as prices will probably drop on them. Two of them in Raid-0 will out perform a 840 Pro all day long. Tho im sure you could Raid-0 a 830 and a 840 Pro, and it would be no different then two 830's.
