You can find the Samsung 830 Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk for $194.99

is it a fast ssd? and once you write to the ssd do the write speeds even matter anymore?

4

Its as fast as the 840 pro vershon around 500Mb/s R/W

Samsung make great SSDs. I wouldn't argue with Coopermans choice. It's up there with the 840. Really good find, I believe. A well rounded choice, in comparison to the 840 non-pro.

is it worth it?

The 840pro is the newer vershon of the 830 its a little faster and has a updated controller it is worth it.

Its all so one of the fastest on the market

do you think its worth it?

10

The 840 pro is THE fastest on the market. Particularly the 256 and 512 models. The 128 is a little slower

11

Yes it is worth it the 840pro is normaly over $250 + its a newer ssd

I'd say so. That thing will last your several years. If you cannot afford it, the 830 is a very good alternative.
