Just make sure you do the fix update for the 840 Evo's. They have a problem where older files that are unused often become much slower. The rest is nice.

It's a new ssd

[Demons Wrath]

It's a new ssd

 

The issue comes from what it is, not it's age.

 

It's going to happen, like a heart attack, or Christmas. It is most certainly coming. It is inevitable. It is your destiny. But Samsung I believe released a fix, so not all doom and gloom.

Oh right. Thanks for that
