OK so they want 270 for a 500GB 850 evo or i can get an 850 pro for 320. 50 dollars isn't a big enough price difference for me to not just go with the pro edition. I've never been a fan of TLC. I feel like TLC adds extra complexity and more points of failure. I'll be sticking with the 850 pro until sata express drives finally come out.

Crucial categorically refuses to send review samples to us. Believe me we tried.


Well that is odd. I've certainly seen reviews in other sites. Why exclude this one?

Just in time, my 240 GB Corsair GS SSD main drive is now 83% full and I could use an 500 GB drive now, and $252.00 with free shipping at New Egg is cheap.

They may have bought them.

I'm put off Samsung SSD's from the performance issues with the 840. I'll be sticking with the Corsair Force series.

What I find funny is you will gladly use a sandforce ssd when sandforce had problems 10 times worse than samsung. Your logic is flawed bruh. Samsung and Intel make the most reliable ssd's but your loss. Samsung fixed the minor software issue in what a month after it was revealed or something. They took responsibility stepped up to the plate and fixed it. Cant ask for more from a company.
