840 Evo Question

[TheGosuStandard]

Many people have said it's well worth waiting for the 840 Evo, but I am wanting to finish my build after ordering my motherboard. 

 

Would anyone know where to get this early, location US?

The 840 Pro performs better, so if you really can't wait, and you have $125, get the 128GB 840 Pro.

at the moment i would buy a SanDisk Ultra Plus 128/256 GB over a Samsung 840. but it always depends on the price in your region.

Costcaptain.com has it and it doesn't say pre-order so you could try that. They have a bunch of different sizes of the SSD as well.

The ultra plus should also come with a mounting bracket unlike the 840.

Evo comes out this month, 8/14 according to Newegg.

 

Also, what is better in terms of performance, 840 / 840 Pro / 840 Evo when we're comparing 120GB sizes for boot drives?

The Pro is the fastest for boot. The Evo is ever so slightly slower than the Pro and a bit faster than the regular 840.

Performance-wise, it's Pro>Evo>Regular.

If anyone is really interested in the pro they should read th review over at toms. It should explain how it suddenly got so much faster.

Looks like the one newegg is selling is just the bare drive in the box. What do you need the rest of the stuff for?

shouldnt especially for a new PC that kits more needed when adding to an existing one especially pre built ones.
