Don't be disheartened if it still shows $139, its going to drop an additional $10 by 1100 Hours NY time today and is ONLY a 12 hour special. Getting the word out, be sure to grab one asap.

I'm getting one as fast as I can.

Wow that ebay link sold out pretty fast, glad I got my order in.

I saw that newegg deal and thought of you! hahahaha then saw your post here.

Re: What an effin deal - 256 GB SSD for $129 with free shipping

I saw it this morning and I've been eyeing the Samsung Pro but couldn't justify the marginal performance boost + less space = higher cost. "Settled" for the EVO series (and I say settled with a grain of salt). Can't beat how fast this drive is.

i put a 128 Pro SSD in my small 10'' laptop.. Amazon had a decent deal on them a few months back. (i went with the Pro version because i am insanely anal when it comes to my electronics... expensive weakness :) )

Samsung make the best SSD drives out there, bar none.

Re: What an effin deal - 256 GB SSD for $129 with free shipping

Amazon has a tasty little deal on the Samsung 840 Pro 512 SSD... I suppose with Black Friday around the corner....I should be able to get my sticky fingers on one :)

Newegg has a better deal for the same one, discounted to $260 iirc

Re: What an effin deal - 256 GB SSD for $129 with free shipping

Yea.. I now see why this price has been dropping... make way for the new Samsung 850 Pro ... with its 3D V-Nand architecture :)
