Found on on Craigslist for Under $100.

Samsung 120GB Enterprise SSD.

Any idea what this is? How does it compare to a 840 EVO?

Going to use it for Windows 7 and Battlefield 4.

I'm not positive either but it looks as well like this is an original Samsung 840 SSD, which is the previous generation to the 840 Evo. Given the generation difference and the cost of the newer 840 Evo, I'd definitely recommend investing in the Evo instead of the older original 840.

I know, but this is local and I could get it tomorrow. Are they the same though? just the enterprise is more robust?

What about this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a55cPf1x_S0

Does this mean it is slower?

So for putting windows 7 on, and games like battlefield 3 and 4 for faster load times, it would be the same?

This is same price on Craigslist as an 840 evo ($80). Is it worth it?

Going to any solid state drive over a standard mechanical drive is going to offer a very noticeable difference in performance capabilities from Windows startup time, opening and saving files, even loading games. Just be aware that with SSDs there are some optimizations for your system to do to get the best performance and longevity out of it. Fortunately, Samsung (and most all major SSD manufacturers out there now) provides a piece of software to install which not only monitors the SSD health, allows for firmware updates, and performance metrics, but also can easily configure those Windows settings with a single click to optimize your system for an SSD.

Also, I wouldn't recommend running your SSD at more than 80% full because that will not only decrease the performance capabilities but can also decrease the overall life expectancy of your drive.

Already got it from craigstlist. Great drive, better than my old HDD. I wanted to get it locally and I'm glad I got it in a day because I needed to re-install windows 7 from BSOD's. If I was able to wait and not get BSOD's, I would have got the 840 evo.

Any benchmark tools you would recommend? I'll compare this to the 840 EVO for you.
