This is sarcastic, right?

Aren't there some slowdown issues with the evo's?

I believe that was fixed with a firmware update.

Do not buy any of the 840 or 840 EVO line at this time.

Looks like there has been mixed results with it.

Haven't seen any issues reported with the 850 EVO or 840/850 PRO.

Good, because I just got my 500gig 850 EVO yesterday from the sale Amazon had .

It still seems to occur, though when it does happen the defrag fix can be reapplied without much issue given the lifetime of the memory cells themselves.

Nice. I was going to bite on that one as well...but I figured I'm a couple months away from doing my upgrade so can wait and maybe it will go a bit lower.

I wonder if the Pro's will have decent sales, haven't really seen any.

850 EVO hasn't been out long enough to know.

850 Pro is probably best drive in its class however.

I don't touch anything but MLC.

Memory Express has an awesome price matching policy, but usually has high prices, so check Shopbot.ca & Pricebat.ca before buying from them. NICX will price match ME, and their shipping is a few cents cheaper (both cost around 8$).
