Seems like Samsung are doing away with the differences between the 840 and 840 pro with their new line up with specs up on the standard 840 and a price point somewhere between the two. That said they are keeping the same TLC technology used in the 840 over the MLC in the 840 pro.

Very interesting bit of news indeed

It doesn't look like they are doing away with anything. It seems to me they are simply adding the EVO to their lineup. The EVO is an improvement over the standard 840 but it is not up to the 840 pro standards.

Maybe I've misread it but other than the memory type and pricing I don't see a massive difference between the two drives. Maybe there will be am Evo pro soon with the extra "business class" features and longer life.

There has actually been found a solution to the SSD aging problem (the isolator can be "repaired" by high temperatures applied directly to it) and a practical implementation is actually possible. But no big SSD manufacturer has yet built such a device (with a MTBF comparable to normal magnetic drives). I had hopes Samsung would use such a thing now but it would seem they don't

TLC -> without SSD-Cell-Repair: NOPE the MTBF is so low, its almost ridicoulus

Sorry for my bad description of the problem

Meh, my 830 is still going strong.

 

[You_What?]

So, will this be replacing the 840 Non-Pro? Or is it in addition to that?

Crucial already have a 1tb class ssd. In the M500 series.
