The price and performance and the amount of over provisioning are all too similar to Intel's 750 SSD. Nothing new here.

Buy this or a Dell 800GB 3/1.4 enterprise MLC SSD for $1,500?

More like buy a 960 Evo/Pro or RD400 or 950 Pro.

800GB Corsair 3000/2400 $999 AUD (Estimated on exchange rate) x4 from CPU PCIe
1024GB Samsung 3500/2100 $829 AUD x4 from chipset PCIe

Hmm.... Tough choice (Not!)

Given that most activity is read, the few 100mb Corsair has is not enough to justify the lower capacity and higher price, imho.

Umm, people should just buy the BPX for around $200 for the 480GB. It's the same controller.

The main difference between your consumer SSD and the Dell is the Dell will last 8000 years. 8 PETABYTES until it dies. Samsung 960 is only 400TB.
