Nice find.

That's not the pro version, so its slower than the 830. But if you're interested in the game, its a great deal. Just know that its the slower version before you buy it

Good deal but $40 rebate is a killer for me:

It was a little better earlier with free Far Cry 3.

Whats the big difference in the pro vs non pro? I am interested in a new SSD as juggling items back and forward between a tiny 64GB drive and my HDD's is becoming tiresome. I don't require the fastest in the world, I prefer stability and longevity. I like the fast boot times my M4 offers and the quick responsiveness in windows, so I guess I am asking for benefits of PRO vs Not Pro.

Pro is faster, almost twice as fast on sequential writes. If you want stability, go with an 830.

The Pro http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/678?vs=665crushes the non-pro, which IMO is a waste of one's money.

TD is having it for $149.99 with a $40 rebate. But I hate rebate particularly from TD.

I guess the Far Cry 3 offer is gone since I don't see it listed any more.

It's not as great as the Samsung 840 Pro, but as a consumer drive, or if it's your first drive, it's a great buy

Can most people who do average computer tasks tell a difference between the two?

Depends on what you are doing with it. I would say no for most people, but this is a tech forum so we aren't most people.

I'm a techy and I say no. This 840 is still faster then most of all the other SSD's out there
