I'm intrigued by the performance of PCIE SSD's.
They currently sell Revo 240 GB drives for 199 (refurbished) with some awesome numbers claimed for performance.
However, I'm not too enthusiastic about purchasing these refurbished since I don't know what kind of abuse they took and how much life is left in them. On the other hand, I've used a G2 80 GB Intel drive for 4.5 years as an OS drive and it remained at 100% life when I sold it.
So I'm looking at these OWC drives.

Wondering if the performance claimed by this drive would be noticeable against a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB.
Can anyone with experience provide some insight?
