Different controller than the 830. I'd wait a bit to see if the 840 will be as reliable as the 830. Preliminary benchmarks on the 840 Pro show it to be at or near the top. I run 830's and they are ultra reliable. I dunno how much difference the improved 840 Pro performance would translate to in real usage.
Title says sata "2", it's 3.
and how are these? They're the new ones
pretty much at the top of the industry... this week.

840 appears to have more iops but less seq writes.
