SSD - Another Noob Question

But most shops it is 96 yes. Crucial is well known and popular around here. The evo series is theoretical faster but that's all. I belief they discovered a small problem with the evo series recently.

Thanks for the link but I can't order there.
You're lucky.

And Samsung SAID that they have a fix:

Those 4 euros don't matter do they ?

You're lucky, I have been jealous ever since I saw that river pic.

And the fix did not work (at least not for everyone to the same degree):

I have a total of three Samsung 840 EVOs across two computers and a laptop. The old data issue has not returned in full force for me but I am getting some non-dramatic drops in performance (see attached screenshot). Some people are reportedly getting the old issue in full force where read performance dumps down to below HDD levels (< 50MB/s).
AFAIK, the verdict is still out on what Samsung plans to do next. An intermediate band aid for those affected by very slow drives is to run http://www.puransoftware.com/DiskFresh.html which will rewrite all data on the SSD (of course affecting the write cycles and decreasing the life expectancy of the NAND but restoring performance to full speed).

Yeah, that's why edited my post to "Samsung SAID that they have a fix"...
