Too bad they significantly reduced the life span of the 840 over the 830. The 830 at a discount is the one to get, or the 840 Pro if pure performance is all that matters.
This is the one to get.
yes it is, the 840 (not pro) is garbage and the 830 doesn't have enough of a price advantage.
Yes, it's Ben's Best NOT my best.
