Looks like Sammy isn't taking any prisoners. Now we see why they snatched up NVELO. More deets released...

"RAPID is a new feature that will be included with Samsung Magician Ver. 4.2 and can be easily installed through Samsung Magician to significantly improve the performance of your PC. Its initial release will only be compatible with the new 840 EVO, however, Samsung expects a follow up release to be compatible with the 840 Pro soon enough. RAPID Mode is storage management software that is in place between the systems OS and SSD and provides read acceleration and write optimization for a system level performance boost. RAPID Mode is compatible with Windows 7/8 systems and will use up to 1GB of your system memory as a cache where it stores frequently accessed data for lightning fast retrieval on demand."

Was just browsing NewEgg and found out the EVO drives will ship on 8/14 and at VERY competitive prices too!! I want to hold out for the soon to arrive Sammy VNAND drives, but this is verrry tempting.
