I would love to purchase 4 of it. Sad that it is not available in our country...

15 watts is pretty darn hefty for an SSD.

 

[joytech22]

a power consumption of 15W

WUT?
That's almost as much as a HDD during spinup!
I'm certain he meant 1.5W lol.

Anyways.. This is a freakin' good deal.

where can u buy this???

I wish they would extend this offer to the 840 Pro. That sure would make the extra cost of the Pro more attractive and I sure have been wanting to upgrade my old 120GB Vertex 2 lately.

 

[slabbo]

it's actually 0.15W LOL

Personally, I like Samsung SSDs however, still think TLC flash based SSDs are still on the "bleeding edge" as there is currently not yet enough information to gauge their long term reliability. If they were to package Far Cry 3 with their 840 Pro (MLC based) series SSDs I'd consider it.

nice move since it costs them nothing. just make a few more digital copies like everyone else does, only they claim hero status or it. why don't they just don't $1,000,000,000,000 virtual coins/point/etc. each year to wipe out their tax burn. you know that's where this is going, and the reason to monitize virtual money

 

[jurisc]

hei, what about 840 PRO version? will it be packed with the bundle game?

 

[djangoringo]

Nope, the 840 pro comes with assassins creed 3.

 

[kellybean]

Ubisoft, so does that mean it will need constant internet connection DRM to play the single player campaign?

 

[fuzzion]

I have just played Far Cry 3. Its gonna shred your graphic card to pieces. CPU isnt that taxed though

 

[ipwn3r456]

15 watts of power consumption... Umm that's enough to power 2 HDDs...

 

[murzar]

I'm still waiting stocks here in my country.

These are nothing compared to their pro series. I just hope the price drops a bit on the pro series for Black Friday. They still carry a ridiculous markup for being the fastest out right now.

"Nope, the 840 pro comes with assassins creed 3."

this is a fact. not sure why you got downvoted.

After purchasing the 250GB 840 Pro, I received the download code for Assassins Creed 3 but it errored out with "Code Invalid".

 

[Guest]

Does anyone know which UK details will offer the Samsung 840 250gb at discounted cost with FarCry3?

 

[Hellbound]

What some are overlooking is this sale doesn't start til Thursday 11/22...

 

[ram1009]

As of right now I'm unable to find this deal anywhere.

I have been using the 250 GB 840 for a few days now, and I love it. Works great, fairly fast- I would have liked it more if the write speed was a bit higher, but I see a great performance increased compared to my 500 GB 7,200 RPM drive. Still waiting for Ubisoft to give me a download link to the game though.

I bought the 128GB version (Not because of this deal), got a code which says Assassins Creed 3 OR any optional titles from a list, in that list contained this game, went to buy it, invalid key, tried it with Assassins Creed 3 (Image on the cover of the key), invalid key.

Shitty deal.
