the specs for the 250 are not as good

Random Read Speed Up to 95K IOPS
Random Write Speed Up to 44K IOPS

frankly if you need more room the 500 is the way to go.

Finally pulled the trigger on this. By the time the TLC nand causes an issue, 1TB SSDs will probably be half this price and I'd be upgrading anyway.

In the meatime it will be great to get the OS and scratch drive of my home server into this decade... the current platter drive is so slow compared to my other SSD-equipped rigs...

great price. I remember paying almost $400 for 160GB Intel G2s back in the day!

Even better, you can get them for the same price as above with a $100 Restaurant.com gift card. That's a 250GB SSD for $49!

Samsung 840 250GB with $100 gift card - $149

Samsung 840 500GB with $100 gift card - $279

I already jumped on 2 x 500GB's yesterday, but that's for the office. Think I'll by a couple of 250GB's now.
