120GB Samsung 840 EVO? Is It Any Good?

[dragonborn123]

I just purchased the 840 EVO (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te120bw), and I'm wondering if it's a decent SSD. I got it for only 75$, so I think I got a good deal, and all the reviews appeared favorable, but I thought I'd ask the users here what they think.

Thanks.

Yes, that drive is in the top 1 or 2 recommended SSD's. You got a good deal!

YES! If you have some extra RAM, turn on RAPID. The drive is uber fast with it! I currently use it for storage of Battlefield 4 (waiting for more games) and it loads up in 20 seconds on a fresh boot, and 10 seconds between maps. I'm sure if you installed an OS on it, your experience would be sick fast!
On paper it looks slower than the larger capacity EVOs, but the 120GB is still very snappy, most would probably not be able to tell the difference between the drives' speeds.
