FYI, the EVO 840 is on sale for $169.99 right now at NewEgg ($177 and change on Amazon). Technically the deal ended at midnight yesterday, but it worked for me five minutes ago. You'll need coupon code EMCYTZT4593

P.N.T.M. posted:The sled is really good if you go with changing your HDD to a SSD, then running with the HDD in the sled. I personally have opted for the sled route, and got a USB 3.0 to SATA adapter from eBay. We'll see how well that decision worked in a month or so when it arrives via China Post.

I searched the thread, but couldn't find any reference to these Transcend drives: http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Jet...0WY3Z755WTZPV3D So what's the consensus? They're highly reviewed on Amazon and are simple enough to install, but not very fast according to one article I found. (They're all on sale today which is why I'm asking) http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3654423

I'm toting 1.4 GB/sec with the 840 EVO 250GB which is woefully more pathetic. Does this mean I'm configured wrong or does this mean that the 1TB has fancier things under the hood?

8GB RAM, already running Magician 4.4 I'll run the test again and see if it was an outlier. Ran again, got 2.2 GB/sec. Quit Firefox, got 4.2 GB/sec. Firefox has been a greedy little bastard as of late (1-2GB commit). Need to work on keeping my tab counts low. Unfortunately JIRA uses a lot of AJAX so I imagine it's not helping my memory footprint much. ryanbruce fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Aug 1, 2014 |

11.17TB since about the beginning of November. Should I be worried with 1TB/mo in writes?  I guess that's still about 9 years with an assumed life of 100TBW. So I suppose I'm a good use case for why SSD endurance is just fine(TM). I use this laptop for *everything*. It's my torrent downloading, media serving, Lightroom using, Firefox disk thrashing machine. It's both my work and personal laptop, so this guy runs effectively 24/7.
