Seeing a local store is selling an 840 Evo for the price of SSDNow v300s and such inferior drives, I was wondering if it might be worth getting.
It seems pretty clear to me that the new Samsung is considerably faster than my old Force 3 but I'm wondering if the SATA controller of my Sabertooth X58 will be too big a bottleneck for the speed to really matter... I can't find very exact info on this kind of a matter :/
E: The drive would be for my OS, along with several games (Guild Wars 2, varying other such loading intensive ones) like my Force 3 has been. Force 3 would then have some secondary read-intensive files/programs/whatnot on it, since I'm already juggling files at 25ish G free of the 120 so I kind of need some more space.
