Hey team..
I just purchased a Samsung 830 SSD secondhand here in Denmark:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147137
The disk is 3 months old, and itīs therefore still under warranty.
I paid 85$ - Is that a OK price, or have I been "wiped"???
Sounds like a good deal to me and heard nothing but good things from the samsung 830 ssd on review sites. I payed more for my 128g OCZ A3 think it was close to 150$ but that was last year.
Performance
Max Sequential Read: Up to 520 MB/s
Max Sequential Write: Up to 320 MB/s
4KB Random Read: Up to 80,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write: Up to 30,000 IOPS
MTBF: 1,500,000 hours
Seems pretty decent to me :) 86% of Newegg reviewers have given it 5 stars. It's pretty rare for anything to be rated that high. Saving $25 off the price for something that was barely used is always nice as well. Congratulations!
Power Consumption (Active): 0.15W Is that right? Holy crap that's low, even for a SSD!
Just lately got the 256 version for my HTPC, seems decent so far. I don't even have SATA III, it was more about noise and vibrations. Seen the the 128 for 90 new, but prices are falling and with almost full warranty you should be happy. :)
Tom's hardware had some great advice about spending on SSDs: Buy The SSD You Can Afford, Not The Fastest One
