I have to say that I bought an 830 (my first SSD, and I'm blown away, to say the least) because of Christopher's testing. I know my little 64GB drive won't die because of some random reason, not anytime soon. It won't reach 4.5PB of writes, of course.. but it'll take a beating before saying goodbye. Great drives!


I hope the 840 series are as resilient as the 830s, if I decide to buy another SSD in a year or two... Thanks again guys for this epic thread and source of information. You all deserve a good round of beers
