LOL the prices are dropping on these 840's while people are beating the bush trying to find the 830 left overs.
Maybe the faster 840 Pros will drop in price to what the 830s were going for.
What's the difference between the 830 and 840?

130 MB/S write speed? Is that good?
OOS
And that's another thing. It's only 120gb. The 830 had 128gb.
#7 oh a whole extra 8GB lets shoot our guns in the air!
The write speed on the 840 was what caught my attention:
830: 320 MB/s
840: 130 MB/s
I have an 830 128GB, its limited by sata II but under Linux:
[rar@silenus tmp]$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=64k count=16k conv=fdatasync
