Rap Game Goku: Apr 2, 2008; Word to your moms, I came to drop spirit bombs

I know the 960 Evo is going to be the new hotness, but is there anything really "wrong" with the Intel 600p? MSRP is $60 cheaper for the 512GB and performance seems not as good as the 960's will be but still better than the 850's?

It has kind of a funky lockdown mode once it runs out of spare cells.

Seems convenient that it just happened to burn through its spare cells at just the point in time where the endurance was completed (which is much lower than it is now I guess?). Not sure I believe that. But whatever.

Other than that it's fantastic for what it is. It's not like 950 Pro fast but it's way faster than the 850 Evo. I was really tempted back when I was looking at getting more space, but that end-of-life lockdown mode thing really gives me the heebie-jeebies

Interesting. I'm not buying for another week or so. Hopefully the samsungs will be out by then. Thanks!
