Hi, I'm curious to know if the price on this SSD right now is a good for its capacity. Right now the Samsung 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD256BW 2.5" 256GB SSD is on sale right now on Newegg and with the use of a promo code, the price would be $194.99.

So is this a great deal (still new to SSDs)? Or should I wait a year or two when prices would fall even lower? Or have anyone gotten even a better deal than this? Any response will be appreciated. Thanks.

Generally, I use my computer for basic tasks and gaming on a occasional basis. Currently I'm using a standard mechanical HDD 512 GB (Seagate), and it's been running good for about 2 years already. It's not slow or anything but maybe I was considering in upgrading to SSD because of how popular it's becoming now.

For now I want something that is the best bang for my buck. I've waiting on the prices for a little while now and I'm just wondering if this is one of those great sales I can snatch.

A better choice might be the 840 EVO. Around $150, and no real speed difference from the PRO.
Once you use one, you'll never go back.

Ah ok. Can you explain a little bit more detail on what is the main difference or importance between the EVO and PRO version? Like why is there an almost $100 jump between them?
